Funabashi Race 12 - Funabashi B2
SMILE MORE (10) was doing his best work late last start to get up for second over 1600m at this track. Sure to be putting in the big strides late again. SHIMIZU MINATO (8) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 0.8 lengths over 1600m at this track as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins and two minor placings from four starts. Can measure up again. GOUVERNAIL (7) resumes. Didn't make an impact at his only run last prep, finishing 12th over 1700m at Kokura Dirt. Under the care of new trainer Yasuto Mori this prep. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Will be in this for a long way. GREAT FURIOSO (9) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1600m at this track. Looks to be in the right race so another bold effort is on the cards.

Second-up. First-up after three months 6th of 14 at Kawasaki on October 14 over 1500m, 4 len behind Snowshoe carrying 56kg at $18.10. Previously second-up 6th of 11 at Urawa on May 27 over 1400m, 5 len behind Tonopah with 54kg at $50.80. Unlikely to threaten.

Back from a spell. Only had one start last campaign 12th of 15 at Kokura Dirt on June 29 over 1700m, 14 len behind Meisho Fudo with 58.0kg at $7.30. When resuming last campaign 3rd of 11 at Kyoto Dirt on December 1 over 1800m, 0.8 len behind Sunrise Pascal with 56.0kg at $3.80. Should be right in the finish.

Racing well recently. Comes off a 35 day let-up. At the latest run 2nd of 13 at this track on October 1 over 1600m, 4 len behind Hoshino Suna with 57kg at $1.70. The start before that favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a neck at this track August 30 over 1600m defeating Shimizu Minato carrying 56kg at $1.80. Definite chance.
