Funabashi Race 12 - Funabashi B3
GREAT FURIOSO (4) proved too strong last start and scored by a nose over 1600m at this track. Boasts five wins here. Rates highly and should go well. MARIACHI (6) settled well back then picked up fairly well in the straight and finished seventh last time out over 1600m at this track when first up from a spell. Tackles a longer journey this time. Fitter and one of the leading chances. BELGARATH (5) improved last start but found a couple better over 2000m at Urawa. Beautifully placed to play a major role. CARNIVAL MARCH (3) finished adrift in ninth last time over 1600m at this track in a disappointing performance. Expect he will make amends.
