GOING:

Race 7 1200m

Track: AW     True  

Speed should be right on over the 1200m journey. LOWERING LOOKS (5) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish a nose away in second over 1200m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. HAKUSAN ORIHIME (1) has been kept fresh since an all-the-way win over 1500m at Funabashi. Gets some weight relief this time and best form puts her right in this. CHAMP TIGER (6) has been thereabouts without winning, the most recent offering a second at this track over 1400m when he was beaten a neck. Genki Fujimoto stays aboard and although yet to win has been in the money on two occasions. Has winning claims on best figures. DRESSED TO KILL (2) finished fourth over 1000m at this track last time out following a determined win two runs back. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Must be respected.

Useful filly. Resumes off a 44 day let-up. Most recently won by 3 len at Funabashi May 29 over 1500m defeating Kitasan Elpis carrying 55kg at $5.50. The run before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 10 at Funabashi on May 2 over 1200m, 2 len behind Ai Grace carrying 54kg at $2.20. Big chance again.
