KEAYANG TOKYO (8) looks close to a win after seconds in both starts since a spell. Missed narrowly first up then came form this same barrier here last week and chased an in-form rival. Yet to miss a place at this distance. Can peak and win. HES FROM HEAVEN (4) came from the back row when he scored here two back then drew wide last week and was just behind Keayang Tokyo. From a lower draw he rates as a winning chance. FIGHTER COMMAND (7) didn't have the best of luck last start and was racing well prior. Draws wide but is suited dropping to a distance where he strikes at 50 per cent. DEE ROE (9) continues a run of second row draws but there was merit in the last-start fourth and he goes well at this shorter distance. YOUNG BLUEY (3) worked from a tough barrier last start but could do better from this more favourable draw.

KEAYANG TOKYO
M A LEE, P LEE 5YO BAY GELDING Levarg Racing Group (Mgr: J W Craven) Solid performance when a close second after being driven well back, behind Jilliby Nitro at Terang over 1680m in a NR 65 or better on June 25 at $1.60.
