Funabashi Race 8 - Funabashi A2

SAMMARU SHIP (2) was an impressive winner last time over 1200m at this track, leading throughout and putting 4 lengths on his rivals. Strong performer when third up with six wins and zero minor placings from seven appearances. Norifumi Mikamoto is back on and has a solid record on the eight-year-old, including 12 wins. Bold showing expected. ZEUS BISTY (5) returns from a layoff of 12 weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1200m at this track. Rates highly and should take some beating. ZODIAC REVE (8) was right in contention when they turned for home and kept finding to finish second last start over 1200m at this track, beaten a neck. Taking on a better field but he is up to the task. SATONO MUSTANG (6) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago but was less impressive last time out when third over 1200m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. In contention this time.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resuming gave a sight but was run down late 2nd of 10 at this track on March 12 over 1200m, 0.5 len behind Laser Show carrying 56kg at $5.10. Second-up favourite; won by 4 len at this track April 3 over 1200m defeating Laser Show carrying 55kg at $1.90. Well placed and sure to prove tough to beat.

Racing well recently. Comes off a 34 day let-up. Most recently sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 9 at this track on April 3 over 1200m, 4 len behind Sammaru Ship with 57kg at $7.40. The race before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 0.5 len at this track March 12 over 1200m defeating Sammaru Ship carrying 56kg at $21.60. Strong winning hope.

Returns from a 34-day let-up. Most recently sat on the speed throughout before fading to run last of 9 at this track on April 3 over 1200m, 14 len behind Sammaru Ship with 55kg at $135.30. The start before that second last of 9 at Kawasaki on March 2 over 900m, 5.5 len behind Praelude with 53kg at $53.40. Can't see her troubling these.
