Funabashi Race 8 - Race 8 - 1500
SCARLET CROSS (2) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 8 lengths. Fitter and sure to run well. TERMINATOR (3) ran below his best last start when beaten 4.5 lengths into sixth from a wide draw over today's course and distance. May be worth another chance. BIJOUX MEFA'A (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1500m at this track, beaten 9 lengths into eighth. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. FAIRY ON ICE (5) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 9 lengths. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
