GOING:

Race 11 2000m

Track:      

Love And Happiness or Shimme Rubus to take the lead and attempt to control the tempo. WILL SHINE (2) turned in a modest performance when 11th last time out over 1800m at Funabashi, beaten 21 lengths. That followed a win at Funabashi at the previous outing. Faces an easier assignment so she can return to the winners' list. SHIMME RUBUS (3) was below her best last time when ninth over 1800m at Funabashi, beaten 18 lengths. Faces an easier assignment so she can find the winners' list. LOVE AND HAPPINESS (6) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1600m at Funabashi, beaten 2.75 lengths. Has never missed the placings at the second run back. Facing a tougher assignment but she is fitter and up to the task. AMESTRIS (5) finished seventh over 2100m at this track at her most recent appearance on November 19. Definite top-three chance.
