GOING: G

Race 3 800m

Track: GOOD      

Recolte Happy and Lumineux Fille should lock horns early at a strong tempo. LUMINEUX FILLE (11) turned in a fine effort to win by 3 lengths at today's track and distance last start in a far better run. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot repeat the dose. RECOLTE HAPPY (4) went to the paddock after scoring at his only appearance last prep five-and-a-half months ago over 800m at this track. Kazuhiro Kato who has two wins when partnering stays on. Among the leading chances. ERI CROWN (10) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 2.5 lengths when fifth in a 800m contest at this track five weeks ago. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. CREUSA (12) was in the firing line on the turn and finished third last time over 1000m at Funabashi, beaten 5.5 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Sure to be thereabouts.
