GOING:

Race 10 800m

Track:      

Clutch Time to take up the running at a moderate tempo. A T SPICA (8) was well in commission last start over 1000m at Funabashi when fifth, beaten 2.25 lengths. Akira Harita sticks. Prior form also reads nicely. Well placed and should be in the finish. NISHINO CLAUDIA (6) strode forward early from her wide draw last start over 800m at this track then fought on gamely to finish third. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ULTRA WORLD (9) was in contention on the corner and progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 900m at Kawasaki after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Facing a tougher assignment but he is good enough to take this out. CLUTCH TIME (5) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fourth at this track over 800m after being up on the pace until straightening. Can give cheek.
