Tokyo City Keiba Race 4 - Race 4 - 1400
NINE ESQUIRE (2) Secured a close victory last run here and gets a favourable draw. Jockey Jouji Wada has been successful before. Respect. OMASA (4) Bolted in when winning by 4L last time at the track and will be well suited at the distance. Flawless this preparation with 5 wins from 5 starts. Gets a chance to win. GO BUDDY (8) Resuming after a spell of 46 weeks. Came in 5th last time around here. Expected to rebound and showing consistent performance in races. Must be considered. PUNK BEAT (7) First up and won with a leg in the air by 3L first up last preparation at Urawa. Should be going forward early. Proven performer at this distance. Could be a value selection.
