GOING: G

Race 6 900m

Track: GOOD     True  

Expecting Nakimushi Hikaru to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. AUSTER (3) has been kept fresh since finishing second last start over 900m at this track. Knocking on the door. Expected to go close. THINKING CARROL (8) made considerable ground in the run home to finish third last start over 1000m at Funabashi. Boasts a sound record at this track and trip. Best form puts her right in this. KITANO BLUE HALLEZ (5) turned in a sound effort last time when second over 1200m at Funabashi. Back in trip this time. Good effort last start and should figure prominently. SHINING LUKIA (10) scored two back at this track but was below her best last time when seventh over 900m at this track. Deserves another chance.
