FUNABASHI   27 Sep 2024
 
GOING: G

Race 5 1200m

Track: GOOD      

No recognised leader so Wi Fi could find herself in front. ZEPHYR AILE (4) finished out of the money when eighth over 1200m at this track four weeks ago. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. SCRAMASAX (9) is yet to break through in seven runs. Finished seventh at his last appearance over 1200m at this track on August 29. Well placed on this occasion and gets his chance to break the ice. BLUE PEARL (6) returned from a spell four weeks ago when fifth over 1200m at this track. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. AMAMOTO (3) has switched yards since finishing ninth seven weeks ago over 1000m at Sapporo Dirt.
