JP - Tokyo City Keiba - Race 2

FRENEMY (3) makes most appeal on debut for Masahiro Fukuda, whose first-starter record is solid and whose stable has placed 10 of 16 debutants. The pedigree adds depth, with half-sister Visage winning on debut at Kyoto over 1 ¼m, so she has enough profile strength to be treated as the one to beat. UNIFY (1) is the main danger from barrier one for Naoyuki Matoba, with a useful Bamboo Ere cross and full-brother Longing Nice a seven-time winner. LINDO SOMBRERO (7) has the deepest family page, with several siblings who performed well first time out, while LIENS REVE (2) brings the strong Terunobu Fujita and Tsubasa Sasagawa combination and profiles as a genuine placing hope.
