Funabashi Race 2

Funabashi

Stake: $25,472

SOUTHERN BRAVE (6) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of five months, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1400m at Kanazawa. Well placed and happy to have him on top. SMILE PLUS (9) finished seventh over 1400m at Morioka Dirt at her most recent appearance on September 2. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Nobuhiro Yamada. Should be hard to stop. POD BUDDY (10) did a good job last start to finish second at this track over 1200m, beaten 1.5 lengths. Drawn out but going well enough to play a role. HO O HANABI (2) produced another moderate effort last start when 9 lengths from the winner in seventh over 1500m at Urawa. Has her share of talent and is a top-three prospect.

Last start ran last of 11 at Kawasaki on November 18 over 1400m, 27 len behind Solis Dies carrying 54kg at $173.80. The start before that ran last of 11 at this track on November 3 over 1200m, 20 len behind Seiun Yuzuka with 52kg at $169.10. Hard to make much of a case.

Last start sat behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 12 at Urawa on November 25 over 1500m, 9 len behind Margot Festa carrying 54kg at $7. The start before that 4th of 11 at this track on November 3 over 1200m, 8 len behind Seiun Yuzuka carrying 54kg at $20.10. Nice draw and worth thought.

The start before that 4th of 9 at Mizusawa on October 7 over 1400m, 9 len behind Jodhpur with 56kg at $3.90. Making headway. Likely to measure up again.
