Emerging star Keayang Tokyo gets the chance to book his own ticket to Group 1 racing in Sydney when he steps out in hot company at Melton on Saturday night.

The ‘match race’ between the two star four-year-old trotting mares Jilliby Ballerini and Violet Stanford was thwarted by the Josh Aiken trained and driven Maoris Mac who broke through for her first win in more than a year in the Prydes Easifeed Trot.
