Urawa Race 5 - Race 5 - 1400
CHEERFUL GIRL (1) came home strongly last start to finish third, beaten 1.3 lengths, over 1200m at Funabashi. Generally performs well here and has registered four minor placings. Should appreciate the added trip and is a leading contender. SWERTIA (9) was in contention on the turn and ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1500m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Strong prospects. O SHIN RUSH (6) finished third last time over 800m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten 1.3 lengths. Expecting a forward showing. DANCING RASCAL (8) finished fifth over 1500m at this track five weeks ago. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
