JP - Tokyo City Keiba - Race 2

NAC POPPY (2) sets the standard after two fourths this campaign, with the start prior particularly solid when beaten two lengths after picking up nicely in the straight. Last start was not as sharp when beaten nine and a half lengths, but she was still respected in betting and now gets to her third run back with the strongest recent profile among the main hopes. COCO QUICK (3) resumes after five months and has placed twice from six starts, including one placing at this track and distance, so she has enough exposed form to be a genuine danger if ready to fire fresh. GLORIOUS WORLD (9) is also third-up and has placed at this track and distance, his recent margins are plain, but he kept working last time and has more upside than many in this field. RAIRAI RAKURAKU (5) returns from eight months off after three unplaced runs, yet her early market respect two starts back and lightly raced profile give her a minor-placing path if she comes back in better order.
