Funabashi Race 8 - Race 8 - 1600

HIRABOKU LAUGH IT (2) scored by 2 lengths when resuming last start at this track over this distance after he was prominent at the turn. Has a very good record over today's journey with two wins from three starts. Should be poised just off the lead. Will prove tough to beat. PLASMA (1) finished 6 lengths back in third over 1700m at this track last time out after a gutsy win the start prior. Good enough to take this out. GOUVERNAIL (4) got the prize two runs ago at Kawasaki. Couldn't follow that up last time out when fifth over 1700m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can return to the winner's circle. HENRY (5) finished 12th at this track and distance at his last appearance four months ago. Worth plenty of thought.

Second run back. First-up after four months favourite; won by 2 len at this track May 5 over 1600m defeating Final Heart with 56kg at $1.60. Previously second-up 5th of 8 at this track on December 9 over 1800m, 7 len behind Seesaw Game carrying 55kg at $7.40. Big chance to register the hat-trick. Improver with winning prospects.

At the latest run 5th of 13 at this track on May 8 over 1700m, 6 len behind Sehr Schnell carrying 56kg at $10.80. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.5 len at Kawasaki April 10 over 1600m defeating Till Dawn carrying 57kg at $2.70. Better than that recent plain performance suggests.
