FUNABASHI   27 Sep 2024
 
GOING: G

Race 12 1600m

Track: GOOD      

Genuine tempo with the speedy Hubble and Brightia Anna matching motors. HUBBLE (7) was well-fancied last time out but could only manage second over 1400m 10 days ago. Good effort last start and shapes as a major threat. KLINGLER (9) had a bit on her rivals last time with an impressive 3 lengths win over 1500m at this track. Has a strong record at this course, scoring three times from four starts. Will prove tough to beat. BRIGHTIA ANNA (5) has been kept fresh since finishing ninth over 1600m at this track four weeks ago. Was a determined winner two starts back. Should be prominent from the outset. Capable of testing this field. TATSUNO SPARK (10) was comfortably accounted for when fourth last time out over 1600m at this track, after a win at Kawasaki at the previous outing. Nicely placed to figure in the finish.
