Funabashi Race 1 - Funabashi
GOUD VEEL (2) 3yo first starter by Smart Falcon for Taito Mori and drawn nicely. Watch betting. ESPOIR BIO (3) First appearance at the races 3yo by Discreet Cat for Kiyoshige Arai. Jockey Masashige Honda adds value. Watch the market. BRIGHTIA MER (5) Disappointing run when 9th last run at this venue. Capable of forward showing and can be competitive. TURN IT UP (1) Only fair when 7th last run at this venue but was on debut last time. Has minimal work to do from the alley. Place looks best.

Was at very long odds at debut, second last of 7 at this track on December 12 over 1000m, 11 len behind Sun Shimme Fleur carrying 52kg at $139.60. Likely to take a lot from that run and is worth following up.
