GOING: G

Race 9 1400m

Track: GOOD      

Moderate tempo with Yuyu Gluck leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. SWEET NIGHT (7) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1500m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths into fourth. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. VAINQUEUR CITY (2) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 4.5 lengths when fourth over 1400m at this track five weeks ago after being in the firing line on the corner. Right in this. LOVE PHANTOM (10) was safely held when eighth last time out over 1500m at Funabashi, beaten 10 lengths. That followed a win at Funabashi at the previous outing. Has his share of talent. Can bounce back. YUYU GLUCK (8) was beaten 7 lengths into eighth over 800m at this track five weeks ago. Capable of featuring prominently.
