Funabashi Race 11 - Funabashi B1
SMILE MORE (10) scored at this track last time out with 3 lengths in reserve at the end of 1700m. Has three wins here. Should go well again. STAR OF FAITH (11) didn't do a bad job when fifth last start over 1600m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths after he worked home in good style. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. GENTLE TOUCH (9) went forward and battled home into fourth over 1600m at Kawasaki last time. Has to overcome a tricky draw. Rates well and will be in this for a long way. AMESTRIS (7) showed good early speed then led into the straight when fresh from a spell last start before fighting on to finish third, beaten 2.5 lengths, over 2000m at Kawasaki. Can feature in the finish.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. Resuming sat behind the speed prior to fading second last of 14 at this track on February 10 over 1600m, 13 len behind Star Of Faith with 56kg at $25.90. Last start ran on strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 8 at this track on March 12 over 1600m, 1.3 len behind Takara Liner with 57kg at $21.10. Low draw but others have better credentials.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 3rd of 8 at this track on March 12 over 1600m, 1.0 len behind Takara Liner with 57kg at $4.90. Before that ran on strongly from last on the turn; 2nd of 13 at this track on February 11 over 1600m, 2.5 len behind Maldives Flavor with 56kg at $5.80. Not far away of late. Worth including.

Second run back. First-up after three months came from midfield and won by 3 len at this track March 13 over 1700m defeating Al Ain Oasis carrying 56kg at $3.10. Previously second-up 8th of 14 at this track on July 5 over 1600m, 5.5 len behind Great Furioso with 56kg at $9.60. Great chance to make it two in a row. Improver with winning prospects.
