GOING:

Race 8 2000m

Track:      

Yuyu Presence should lead and dictate terms. YUYU PRESENCE (12) started at $3.10 last time and ran below expectations, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths at this track over 2000m. Finds a nice race and can make amends. REBELLION (11) turned in a modest performance when second last time out over 1500m at Funabashi, beaten 5 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Must raise the bar but a better run will not surprise. PRINCIPAL ACT (9) missed the placings two runs back then settled well back last start when 18 lengths away in 11th over 1500m at Funabashi. Meeting a deeper field this time but he deserves another chance. YUMEDE AETARA (2) ran a better race last start, finishing 8 lengths away in sixth over 1400m at Kawasaki. Finds a nice race and can make amends.
