Tokyo City Keiba Race 9 - Race 9 - 2400
THREE LEGEND (3) scored last time over 1650m at this track, making it 10 victories from 20 appearances this campaign. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Will play a major role. NAMPASEN (2) produced a reasonable effort when second last start after being in the firing line on the corner over 2000m at this track, beaten 0.8 lengths. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Steps up a level but he is worth serious consideration. TRANSIENT (1) went forward last start and proved too strong, getting home by 0.8 lengths over 2000m at this track. Can go on with it. POND BOY (5) is having his first run since December 2. Goes very well when fresh - has not been out of the money in five first-up runs and did win over 2000m at this track at the start of last prep. One of the genuine hopes in the race.

Racing well recently. Last start gave a sight but was run down late 2nd of 9 at this track on August 16 over 2000m, 0.8 len behind Transient carrying 56kg at $1.70. Before that favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; scored a big 5 len win at this track on July 21 over 1800m defeating Meisho Tabizuki carrying 56kg at $45.80. Put the writing on the wall last time.

Form hard to fault. Returns from a 43-day let-up. Most recently came from midfield and won by a neck at this track on July 23 over 1650m defeating Lamorak carrying 57kg at $3.30. The run before that 2nd of 12 at this track on June 30 over 2000m, 3.5 len behind Cosmo Magallanica with 56kg at $5. Ideally placed to make it two on the trot.
