Race 11 1200m Track: |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Strong pace from Bright Flash and Half Blue pushing forward, along with Liontarina from out wide. BRIGHT FLASH (5) is a talented galloper who scored at Funabashi last time and is unbeaten after five runs. Same rider aboard and rates a leading player again. HALF BLUE (3) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 1.75 lengths away in second over 1200m at this track. Will again be prominent from the outset. This looks a sterner test than last time but on her best form she is capable of testing her rivals. TATSUNO KING O (15) saluted last start at Funabashi over this distance. Is yet to miss the frame from four starts at this distance, including two wins. Rates well. LIONTARINA (12) did a great job to score by 1.75 lengths over today's course and distance when first-up from a spell last time out. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat again in this suitable race.
