Tokyo City Keiba Race 8 - Race 8 - 1600
SKY IS YOURS (5) Ran 4th last time at this venue. Capable of a strong comeback and have to respect the form at the trip. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Key player. GREATEST WORK (1) Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last time at the track and hard to fault at this distance. Should muster plenty of early toe. Will appreciate a good alley. Serious player. XEROGRAPHICA (9) First up today. Came in 5th last time at Niigata. Has the potential to improve sharply. First start for a new trainer. Will be trying to topple them late. Could give a show. LIEN FORT (6) First up and tidy effort when 3rd first up last preparation at this track. Dropping in distance. Don't overlook as is capable of a big run.

Returns from a six-week let-up after leading and boxing on for second at this track, beaten six lengths by Saikan Sanyu after starting among the outsiders. The previous run was plain when seventh after being near the top of betting, but the move back to 1600m suits a gelding with four wins and two placings from ten starts at this track and distance. Drawn to use his natural speed, he looks a strong winning chance.

Finished fifth at this track last start, beaten just over eight lengths at big odds, and that only represented limited improvement after being last and beaten over 16 lengths behind Agile Black. He has placed twice from 13 starts at this track and distance and the winning rider is back aboard, but the current figures leave him with plenty to find against stronger claims.

Was safely held in a COND over 2000m at Kawasaki last start, finishing ninth and beaten over 16 lengths after being unwanted in the market. Her earlier third at this track, beaten just over a length by Tiered, was a much better piece of form and she does get a class drop. The issue is whether she can rebound quickly enough, so she appeals more as a rough place hope than a key chance.

Has been well beaten at both recent starts, finishing seventh at this track last time when beaten over 17 lengths at big odds. The start prior at Kawasaki was no better, with a tenth beaten over 11 lengths after giving away too much ground. He is unplaced in 13 runs in the past 12 months and also unplaced in four tries at this distance, leaving him hard to recommend.

Resumed with a fourth at this track, beaten just over four lengths by Admire Ear after being near the top of betting. That was a fair platform second-up, especially for a horse with six wins and three placings from twelve starts at this track and distance. His overall record is strong and the winning rider returns, so he has the profile to land in the placings again.

Returns from a four-month break after ending last campaign with a sixth at this track, beaten over 14 lengths, when handy enough but unable to finish off. His prior third, beaten just over five lengths, was sounder, and the track-and-distance record of three wins and five placings from 14 starts keeps him in the discussion. Fresh, he will have to find a sharper finish.

Has been around the mark without winning, most recently fourth at this track and beaten just under a length by West Leader after failing to quicken. Two back he worked home strongly for third behind Agile Black, so the recent form has substance. The query is that he has six placings but no wins from 14 starts at this track and distance, making him a sound place chance rather than a confident win play.

Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing fifth in a Mdn at Nakayama, beaten just over three lengths by Bang On Time at generous odds. He was also competitive at Fukushima the run prior when seventh and beaten just under five lengths after being near the top of betting. The class drop is the major positive, and with a leading jockey taking over he brings the right form profile to justify top billing.

Returns from a three-month break after closing last campaign with a fifth in a Mdn at Niigata Dirt, beaten seven and a half lengths by Monster Rush. The run prior was poor when tenth and beaten over 14 lengths at Hakodate Dirt, so there is still some risk. The class drop helps, but four previous attempts around 1600m without a placing make him more a place hope than a major threat.
