GOING:

Race 4 1000m

Track:      

Pace looks strong with Yamanin Aries pushing forward from out wide along with Looks Like Patsu in closer. SARASA GO SIGN (5) did a great job to score by 3 lengths over this course and distance when first-up from a break last start. Beautifully placed and is sure to be there at the finish. FICUS LYRATA (3) broke through for her maiden win over 1200m at Funabashi last time, scoring comfortably. Jumps from a nice gate and she looks sure to be in the mix. TOKEN MAKOTTO (8) finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1000m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. In the right race and is one of the big hopes. SUIRENCHAN (9) was beaten 10 lengths into tenth in a 1000m contest at this track two weeks ago. Has her share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
