GOING: G

Race 9 1400m

Track: GOOD     True  

Genuine tempo with Sun Huntsville leading the way. SUN HUNTSVILLE (2) made it back-to-back wins when successful last start over 1500m at this track, getting home by 3 lengths. Stepping up a level this time but on current form she is capable of another big performance. YUKIMATSURI (8) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 4 lengths over 1400m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. YAMAJUN HIBANA (4) got the prize two runs ago but couldn't back it up last time out when third over 1400m at Kawasaki. Major player on best form. SEINE WARRIOR (6) missed the frame last start over 1800m at Funabashi. Fitter now and better placed coming back in distance.
