Tokyo City Keiba Race 2

1400

Stake: $58,942

EXCELLENTY (1) boasts a 100% top-three strike rate at this trip. Found one better at his latest appearance over 1600m at this track. Should be at peak now. Looks hard to beat. CANTERBURY TIME (2) was always well out of her ground last start when fifth over 1600m at this track. Best figures measure up and expected to go close here. WAKA CHIKO (3) finished out of the money when sixth in a 1400m contest at this track two weeks ago. Perfectly placed and a key runner. BRIGHT DREAM (6) finished second last time over 1600m at this track. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish.

The race before that 10th of 16 at this track on December 4 over 1200m, 9 len behind Baby Quest with 55kg at $490.10. Capable of a big finish so don't write him off.
