GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Expecting Hatto Merrily to take up the running with Eiyu Sabrina and Borsalino close at hand. HATTO MERRILY (4) ran on strongly but just failed to pick up the winner last start over 900m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. LE SERMENT D'AMOUR (1) is fresh from a spell of 12 weeks and did hit the frame when last resuming at Funabashi over 1800m. In a different yard now. Worth serious consideration. EIYU SABRINA (5) finished 1.4 lengths away in fourth last time out over 900m at this track eight days ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Has sound form at this track and distance with a win and two minor placings from four runs. Should be involved in the finish. SCHON STADT (2) improved sharply last time out to score by 0.8 lengths over 900m at this track three weeks ago. Looks well placed so expect another big run.
