Tokyo City Keiba Race 2 - Race 2 - 1200
LILY IN THE NIGHT (12) Gave nothing else a chance when winning by 5L last start around here and was on debut last time. Has the necessary speed to mitigate the wide draw. Winning hope. LUKLA (10) First up and competitive effort when 2nd first up last preparation at the track. Should be rolling forward early from the wide draw. Showing consistent performance in races. Must respect. TAISEI FRIEDEN (9) Placed 3rd last run at this track. Will be positive in the run early. Putting up notable efforts since returning from a break. Can go on with it. MAKE IT (2) Resuming. Ran 8th last run at this track but drawn nicely. Respect against this field.

Finished second at this track four weeks ago, beaten nine lengths by Dear One after having plenty to do in the run home and passing a few late. The margin was clear, but it continued a solid 1200m profile, with three placings from four tries at this track and distance. His previous 1400m run was plain after conceding a huge start, so the return to a more suitable setup keeps him firmly in the winning discussion.

Returns from a three-month break after ending last campaign with an eighth at this track, beaten just over six lengths, when she had too much ground to make up but still caught the eye late. The run before was stronger, a neck second to S Class when well fancied. With one win and four placings from ten starts overall, she has enough substance to be competitive for a minor cheque fresh.

Recent form leaves her with a fair bit to find, having run seventh at this track last start when beaten over 15 lengths and unwanted in the market. Two back she was sixth, beaten ten lengths at big odds, and her long 1200m record reads two placings from 18 attempts. The class drop is some help, but she will have to produce a much sharper finish to trouble these.

Returns from a five-month break after finishing second at this track, beaten nine lengths by Talking The God after settling rearward. He had also placed the run before, but that third came with a margin of over 12 lengths, so the bare finishing positions are stronger than the performances. A 40% place rate at this track and distance gives him some hope, though others look more convincing.

Drops back to 1200m after finishing well held over 1600m at this track last start, where he was never in the picture. His previous seventh was also safely held, beaten over 11 lengths by Edge, so the recent form is clearly below what is required. The saving grace is his proven record at this distance, with two wins and a placing from seven tries, making him a place chance if the shorter trip sparks him.

Has been out of form, finishing tenth at this track last start and well held after fading late, having been sent out at long odds. The start prior was no stronger, beaten over 13 lengths after never looking likely. She does carry 51kg and has some rated positives in the setup, but her eight-start career has produced only one placing, so this is an each-way case built on improvement rather than current form.

Comes back from a well-beaten ninth over 1600m at this track, where she gave away a big start in the lane and never entered the contest. Her Niigata run prior in a 3yo Maiden also faded after leading narrowly, so the recent pattern is not flattering. Fourth-up fitness and a class drop keep her in the place mix, but she has only one placing from ten career starts and is hard to push higher.

Third-up now, but the first two runs of the campaign have been well short of the mark. He was 11th at this track last start, finished well held by Bell Wood Moa, and had been 14th here the run prior when beaten over 14 lengths. Two placings from five tries at this track and distance are a small positive, yet he has to find a far stronger response under race pressure.

Ran third at this track last start, beaten nine and a half lengths by Dear One after failing to quicken as one of the better-fancied runners. That same race saw him finish behind Velvet Onyx, so he has a little ground to make up on a key rival. The previous 3yo+ ALLOW run at Chukyo Dirt was too tough, but with Takayuki Yano back aboard and race fitness on his side, he remains a genuine placing chance.

Returns from a lengthy spell with a handy lightly-raced profile, having placed twice from three starts at this track. He ended last campaign seventh over 1600m as an odds-on favourite, beaten seven lengths by Scratch Clutch, after a second to Parme Ciel when again heavily backed. The query is tackling 1200m for the first time, but his overall venue record and stronger stable profile give him a solid winning case fresh.

Has not been able to make an impact at recent starts, finishing sixth at this track last time and beaten over 13 lengths after settling a long way back. The run prior was also well held over 1400m, beaten over 16 lengths by Grass Rickey at big odds. Weight relief helps, but with two placings from 15 starts overall she requires a clear form reversal to be a factor.

Made a winning debut at this track over 1200m, beating Chercher by five lengths after looming up and putting the race away with authority. She was near the top of betting, so the market expected a forward showing, and the manner of the win backed it up. This is another step in race experience from a wide draw, but she is already proven at the track and trip and can take the next step.
