Verdict

HOSHO DIVA (7) resumes in a similar race to her only run last prep back on August 20 when third, beaten 5 lengths. Looks a winning chance while fresh. PALERMO FLAVOR (8) returns after a spell of four months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 7 ½f at Funabashi. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. TO THE EARTH (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 7 ½f at this track, beaten 6 lengths into eighth. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. RIKKIO (6) finished 13 lengths adrift in eighth last time over 1m at Funabashi in a disappointing performance. Finds a nice race and can make amends.

Horse Racing Basic Terms

Scratch

A horse is a scratch when injury or other necessity causes it to be withdrawn from the race.

Also Eligible

A horse that is entered but does not draw into the body of the field due to too many entries, and thus is not permitted to start unless there are enough scratches to shrink the field size.

Main Track Only

A horse entered for main track only (MTO) is one hoping the weather forecast or track conditions will move the race off the turf course and onto the main track. They are scratched the morning of the race if the conditions stay dry.
