GOING: G

Race 3 1200m

Track: GOOD      

From their wide draws Princess Chiara and Mashi Good Luck will press on and set a geniune tempo. FRUITS PARFAIT (6) scored at her most recent appearance, getting home by 0.8 lengths over 1400m at Urawa as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins from five starts. Sure to go well again. SCREAM EAGLE (5) did a great job to score by 2 lengths over today's course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Finds a tougher race but he has the talent to test this line-up. PRINCESS DARK (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at Urawa, beaten 3.5 lengths into seventh. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. MASHI GOOD LUCK (12) finished third over 1000m at this track at his most recent appearance on December 18. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
