Funabashi Race 11 - Funabashi A2
LOVELY VIEW (8) is unbeaten this campaign after two appearances, the latest win coming over 1500m at Urawa. Kept fresh for this assignment and expected to measure up again. GOLD BALANCER (4) was expected to do more last start when out of the placings over 2200m at this track. Finds a nice race and can bounce back. TAISEI WARRIOR (9) ran below par last time when tenth over 1700m at Kokura Dirt. Finds a more suitable race and look for an improved run. OH MY GOODNESS (5) was fifth over 2200m at this track last time out. Suitably placed and back in trip can turn things around.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resumes off a 36 day letup. First-up raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 2 len at this track June 6 over 1600m defeating Victura with 55kg at $5.50. Second run from a spell raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a neck at Urawa June 26 over 1500m defeating Tonopah with 57kg at $4.10. Fitter and should appreciate the step up to 1700m.
