Races ORM Tokyo City Keiba - JAP

Second-up. Comes off a 48-day let-up. First-up after three months made some head-way from midfield; 4th of 14 at this track on December 30 over 1400m, 2.5 len behind Suzuno Hamaya carrying 56kg at $8.50. Previously second-up 11th of 15 at Tokyo Dirt on October 19 over 1400m, 7 len behind Gold Hammer with 58.0kg at $43.50. Even fitter and is an excellent winning chance.

Second run back. First-up after three months favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 3 len at this track January 30 over 1200m defeating Sound Kingdom carrying 56kg at $1.20. Previously second-up second last of 15 at Niigata Dirt on May 3 over 1200m, 14 len behind T M Pilot with 55.0kg at $44.30. It would be brave to tip against him on current form.
