GOING: G

Race 2 1400m

Track: GOOD     True  

Moderate tempo headed by Yu Yu Lien, Surprise Gift and Scream Eagle. SCREAM EAGLE (6) found the line nicely last start to get up for second at Funabashi. Will be tough to stop again. YU YU LIEN (1) finished out of the money when fourth over 1400m at this track four weeks ago after being in the firing line on the bend. Nicely placed to get the prize. SURPRISE GIFT (12) finished fifth last time out over 900m at Kawasaki after being prominent at the corner a week ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Leading hope. SPARKLE GIRL (11) never really threatened when resuming last time out, finishing midfield. Should be in the finish. Can feature with the right run.
