GOING: G

Race 5 900m

Track: GOOD      

Early speed assured from Grell, Wagamama Body and Columnist locking horns ahead of Fanfan. GRELL (8) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 1500m at Urawa. Best figures stack up nicely in this event and if he can run up to his recent form, he should be getting the job done. WAGAMAMA BODY (4) built on a nice third two starts back at Funabashi with a win over 1000m at Funabashi a week ago, getting home by 3 lengths. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. BEGINNING DREAM (5) impressed last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished 4 lengths from the winner in second over 900m at this track after being prominent at the corner. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. CYGNUS (6) hasn't made an impression lately despite market confidence. Last start could only manage ninth over 900m at this track. Can sneak into the finish.
