Funabashi Race 9 - Funabashi B2
BRIGHT FLASH (5) finished seventh over this distance, beaten 4 lengths, at his latest outing. Boasts excellent form at today's trip with four wins from five starts. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Leading contender. LONELY PLANET (3) is going better than form suggests, last time finishing a 3.5 lengths fourth over 1200m at this track. Has a solid record here at the distance with three wins and three placings from nine tries. Expected to be in the finish. YORUNO TEIO (6) has been racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track over 1200m. Can measure up again. JACK MEMORIAM (7) made progress last time out, finishing 2.5 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1200m at this track. The engagement of Seiji Yamazaki is noteworthy. Finds a nice race and can keep improving.

Returns from a 43-day let-up. At the latest run 7th of 16 at Ohi on July 17 over 1200m, 4 len behind Half Blue carrying 56kg at $4.90. The run before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.5 len at this track June 30 over 1200m defeating Blooming Hill with 54kg at $1.01. Worth another chance.
