GOING: G

Race 6 800m

Track: GOOD      

Lots of speed predominantly from Cheerful Girl, Rouge Rouge and Dan Stone Mut. CHEERFUL GIRL (4) looks close to a win after four minor placings in a row, most recently finishing a very close second over 1200m at Funabashi after being prominent from the outset. Drawn to go forward. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. QUEEN'S HAPPY (1) started at $4.20 last time and ran below expectations, finishing sixth and beaten 5 lengths at this track over 800m. Hard to beat in this suitable race. DAN STONE MUT (8) is building towards a win with placings at her last two runs, the latest effort a second over 800m at this track when beaten 1.5 lengths. Should be prominent from the outset. Will be in this for a long way. DARK FANTASY (2) turned in another moderate effort last start when 15 lengths from the winner in ninth over 1200m at Funabashi at the second run back from a spell. Nicely placed to find some form.
