JP - Tokyo City Keiba - Race 2

TONY BRYAN (1) gets the nod on the strength of market respect at debut and the prospect of sharper second-up improvement. He was near the top of an open market before finishing a distant last behind Shonan Harbor over 1m at this track, but this looks a softer assignment and the inside draw gives him every chance to show more. DANNOURA (7) has the most race experience among the main hopes and comes back in grade with a light weight, although his latest eighth behind Yuyu Venture and his unplaced 7f record keep the case measured. MONTANA MAGIC (2) finished one spot ahead of Tony Bryan in that Shonan Harbor race and now has a leading track jockey aboard, but he was at big odds and made no impression. ASTER STINGER (5) also gets class relief after being beaten out of sight over 6f, and while the untried 7f asks more, he has enough profile to press for a minor end of the prize.
