GOING: G

Race 7 1400m

Track: GOOD     True  

Expecting Cheerful Girl to take up the running with Yumede Aetara and Genova Flavor close at hand. CHEERFUL GIRL (10) just missed last time, beaten a neck into second over 1400m at this track after being prominent from the outset. That gave her two wins and two seconds from the last four runs. Has the early speed to cross from out wide. Looks well placed this line-up. YUMEDE AETARA (7) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track over 1400m. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ETERNAL JEWEL (2) improved last start but found one better over 1500m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. Worth noting Seiji Yamazaki goes aboard. Contender. TO THE EARTH (6) did a better job last start over 1500m at Kawasaki, beaten one length. Go well.

Racing well. Returns from a 35-day let-up. Last start raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 11 at this track on March 21 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Kimiwa Lemonade carrying 56kg at $26.20. Before that got back early 3rd in a small field at Kawasaki on March 7 over 1500m, 1.1 len behind Summer Story carrying 56kg at $3.40. Won’t spend a penny in the run from the inside barrier. Good each-way hope.
