FUNABASHI   29 Jun 2024
 
GOING: S

Race 8 1200m

Track: SOFT      

Moderate tempo with Sand Joker leading the way. SAND JOKER (6) raced on the speed when resuming last start over this course and distance and stuck on well to finish second, beaten 7 lengths. Nicely placed to play a major role. WIND IN BIO (2) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 4.5 lengths when eighth over 1200m at this track four weeks ago. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. NINE GATES (7) ran below his best last start when beaten 9 lengths into tenth from a wide draw over today's course and distance. Better than the latest run suggests and can improve sharply. VENIRE (9) was beaten 10 lengths into fifth over 1400m at Urawa at his latest appearance. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
