Funabashi Race 10 - Race 10 - 1200
BRIGHT FLASH (6) kept coming only to just miss as favourite last start over 1200m at this track. Will derive great benefit from recent racing. Hard to beat in this suitable race. CENTRAL GOVERNOR (1) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1200m at Ohi, clocking in 2.75 lengths from the winner. Has a good record at this journey with four wins from 13 starts. Among the leading chances. SPIRIT GUIDE (9) scored two runs back then was well supported last time but could only manage to finish fifth over the same trip at Ohi. Finds the right race this time and can turn things around. HARDWIRED (8) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fifth over 1600m at this track. Finds a nice race and can get the job done.

Second-up. First-up after four months 7th of 13 at Urawa on May 28 over 1400m, 5 len behind Ken Kiitos with 57kg at $49.20. Previously second-up ran last of 12 at Urawa on April 22 2025 over 1500m, 18 len behind Daimei Tamana with 55kg at $16.80. Unlikely to threaten.

At the latest run didn't do much in the run home; 9th of 12 at this track on May 8 over 1200m, 14 len behind Bellwood One carrying 55kg at $13.80. The race before that second last of 11 at Urawa on April 24 over 1400m, 14 len behind Livi Face carrying 53kg at $13.30. Others appeal more heading into this.

Racing well recently. Last start ran on from midfield; 2nd of 12 at this track on May 8 over 1200m, neck behind Bellwood One carrying 57kg at $2.30. The run before that favourite; won by 4 len at this track April 3 over 1200m defeating Central Governor carrying 56kg at $1.80. Doesn't need to improve much to salute.
