Tokyo Race 2 - Maiden Race
MORONO KAGAYAKI (4) is poised to win after placing at his last three outings, most recently when second over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt when he was handy all the way. Sure to be tough to beat from an inside draw. SATONO FENCER (12) has not raced since his debut back on January 11 when he finished sixth over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Expected to be very competitive. MANAIAKALANI (9) returns after three-and-a-half months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a seventh over 2000m at Nakayama. Rates highly on best figures and should be right in this. LORD CLOSER (5) returns after 11 weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a 12th over 1600m at this track. Rates highly on best form and a bright return wouldn't surprise.
