Funabashi Race 8 - Funabashi B2
SAMMARU SHIP (8) returns from a spell of five months. Closed off last prep in great form including a dominant win over 1200m at this track at his most recent appearance. Form at this distance is strong with nine wins from 13 starts and is sure to run well. A SHIN SCOTTY (1) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by a nose over 1200m at this track. That continued the solid form this campaign, with seven wins and four minor placings from 20 starts. Sure to go well again. COSMO ROUGE (2) hasn't made an impression lately despite market confidence. Last start could only manage sixth over 1200m at this track. Look for a better run this time out. BORDEAUX NESEBAR (3) turned in a nice run last time to finish third over 1500m at Urawa. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort.
