Funabashi Race 7 - Funabashi A2
ACKERMAN (9) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 1000m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. SAMMARU SHIP (7) is a handy galloper who was half a length from the winner in second when resuming last start over 1200m at this track. Among the leading chances. SATONO MUSTANG (2) drifted well back last start before storming home to score by a head over 1000m at this track. Has a solid record here at the distance with seven wins and five placings from 17 tries. One of the main contenders. LASER SHOW (5) scored last start at this track to make it two wins from three starts this campaign. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Must be respected.

Racing well recently. Last start 2nd in a small field at this track on March 13 over 1000m, head behind Satono Mustang with 57kg at $1.40. Before that favourite; ran on from midfield and won by a neck at this track February 13 over 1200m defeating Zodiac Reve with 56kg at $5.60. Solid run last time and is a strong winning hope again.
