Funabashi Race 9 - Funabashi B1
SAMMARU SHIP (1) has won at both starts this campaign, the latest by 2.5 lengths over this track and trip. The third-up record is strong so he looks the testing material. SATONO MUSTANG (8) returns from a break of five months. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a win over this course and distance. Goes well when fresh including two wins. One of the leading players. MIKKI SPINACH (5) finished out of the frame over 1000m at Sapporo Dirt after being in the firing line on the bend when fresh from a spell. Tackles a longer journey this time and finds much easier company. Sure to feature again against this opposition. BELLWOOD ONE (9) turned in a decent effort here last start to finish second. Looks to be in the right race so another bold effort is on the cards.
