GOING: G

Race 6 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Lowering Looks should spear straight to the front of the small field. WONDER LAND (5) is racing well. Scored at Funabashi two back then finished second, beaten half a length, over 1200m at Funabashi at the latest appearance five weeks ago. Should be poised just off the lead. Likely to feature. LOWERING LOOKS (2) has strung together a couple of wins at this track, the latest on September 9 over 1200m when he scored by one length. Winning rider Yoichi Ando retains the mount. Stepping up a level this time but on current form he is good enough to take this out. CHAMP TIGER (3) raced on pace for much of the way before fading in the straight to finish sixth, beaten 4.5 lengths, over 1400m here last time. Can give a sight if at his best. TOP AMERICAN (6) last appeared when he finished 12th over 1400m at this track on June 6. Sure to make his presence felt.
