Tokyo City Keiba Race 2 - Race 2 - 1200
NAC POPPY (2) Ran 4th last time around here. Happy to overlook that run and can find a nice position from the draw. Likely to get back. Is in good order and can run well. COCO QUICK (3) Had a break from racing and returns to competition. Finished 5th last start around here. Can show a better performance this time. Must respect in this event. RAIRAI RAKURAKU (5) First run back after a 30 week break. Came in 9th last start here. May see an upturn in form. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. GLORIOUS WORLD (9) Finished 5th last start at this venue. Can be competitive.

Was never a factor when ninth at this track last start, beaten over 17 lengths after conceding a huge start and being unwanted in the market. The run prior was better on paper when fifth behind Kashima Shoryu, but she still finished seven lengths away at long odds. Unplaced in all 13 starts, including 12 at this track and distance, so the lighter weight is not enough to offset the form concerns.

Has the right platform to peak third-up after two fourths at this track, and the start prior reads well when beaten only two lengths behind Kashima Shoryu after picking up nicely in the straight. She was again respected in betting last start, though beaten nine and a half lengths after settling rearward. A previous placing at this track and distance, plus the rider back aboard, gives her the strongest winning case in this field.

Resumes after a five-month break, bringing a more reliable place record than most of these with two placings from six starts and two placings from three rides with Sho Yoshii. She ended last campaign with a fifth behind Lencois at this track, beaten just over eight lengths, after being well beaten the run prior. Freshness is the unknown, but her best figures put her right in the winning discussion.

Recent form has been plain, with a ninth at this track last start when beaten over 17 lengths after settling back and making no impression. She had looked to get every chance the run prior but could only finish seventh behind Quantum Bit, beaten just over nine lengths at long odds. A placing from two tries at this distance gives her some minor hope, but improvement is required.

Back from an eight-month break after a brief first campaign that produced three unplaced runs, including a ninth at this track when beaten over 17 lengths at her final run before spelling. She had been near the top of an open market two starts earlier but still finished fourth, beaten over 15 lengths. Lightly raced enough to improve, though she profiles more as a place hope than a win bet.

Led narrowly at this track last start but was quickly swamped and finished seventh, beaten over 15 lengths at long odds. That followed an eighth behind Kashima Shoryu, beaten over 13 lengths, so the recent form line is hard to recommend. She has placed once from 10 tries at this track and distance, but a much stronger finish is required to trouble these.

Produced her best run of the campaign when fourth at this track last start, albeit still beaten over 11 lengths after only working home fairly. That was a clear step forward from a ninth behind Road Of Fire when she gave away too much start and never came into the race. Fourth-up fitness and the rider returning help her case, but the win record keeps her in the place bracket.

Has a place-claims rating on setup, with 51kg and a class drop in her favour, but the exposed form is difficult to trust. She was seventh at this track last start, beaten over 16 lengths and unwanted in the market, after finishing tenth behind Road Of Fire at long odds. Unplaced in 22 starts and 11 at this track and distance, so she is relying on the easier assignment sparking a turnaround.

Comes to his third run back with more upside than the recent margins suggest, and he has placed once from three starts at this track and distance. He was fifth behind Dear One last start, beaten over 13 lengths, but kept working after having the job ahead, while two back he was not able to launch from just off the pace. With race fitness now on his side, he can be a stronger factor.

Has been well beaten in both recent runs over 1600m at this track, finishing last behind Queen Anne by 28 lengths last start after settling rearward. The start prior was also plain when last behind Win Daybreak, beaten over 11 lengths after offering little when it mattered. Two placings from 11 starts at this track and distance are a small positive, but current form is well short.
