Funabashi Race 3 - Funabashi 2Yo
MORI LION CHOCOLAT (1) is a two-start maiden who looks close to a win after placing at both runs, the latest when second over 1200m at this track. Drawn to enjoy a nice run just off the lead. Sure to be in the finish. KRAMSKOI (2) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1500m at this track when second. Jumps from a good draw so he should be in the finish again. HAYAMA DAYS (6) last appeared six weeks ago over 1600m at Monbetsu when she finished fourth. This is her first run for the Yasuto Mori stable. Solid top-three hope. TAISEI THRIVE (9) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when ninth over 1800m at Monbetsu. Expect a better run this time.
