Tokyo City Keiba Race 5 - Race 5 - 1200
DEAR ONE (1) finished second, beaten one length, when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at this track after she was prominent at the bend. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish. TAISEI FRIEDEN (7) last appeared seven-and-a-half weeks ago over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt when he finished 12th. This is his first run for the Hiroyuki Matsuura stable. Worth serious consideration. NAC POPPY (11) is a two-start maiden who returned last time and finished fourth at this track over 1200m, beaten 2 lengths. Will derive great benefit from that outing and deserves consideration. LE VRAI ART (2) was in a rearwards position on the turn last time out before finishing 12 lengths back in tenth over 1200m at this track. Should be about the money.
