Funabashi Race 10 - Funabashi A2
SEHR SCHNELL (9) produced a reasonable effort when second last start after being in the firing line on the turn over 1700m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Yet to miss the frame in four starts over this course and distance. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. ARGO NAVIS (10) is returning from a spell of nine weeks. Finished fifth at Tokyo Dirt over 1600m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Yasuto Mori. Key runner fresh from a break. SIENA NO PALIO (6) started at $7.80 last time and ran below expectations, finishing eighth and beaten 4 lengths at Urawa over 1500m. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Finds a nice race and can make amends. MAPLE TAPIT (4) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1700m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects.

Second-up. First-up after two months ran second last of 10 at Kawasaki on July 29 over 1600m, 12 len behind Hollywood Blues with 57kg at $9.70. Previously second-up ran on from midfield and won by 0.5 len at Ohi March 23 over 1400m defeating L'embellir with 56kg at $1.70. Fitter but must improve sharply.

At the latest run ran second last of 9 at Urawa on July 14 over 1500m, 4 len behind Airport Liner with 55kg at $7.80. The race before that won by 0.5 len at Urawa June 25 over 1400m defeating Ken Kiitos with 57kg at $7.90. Capable of more – worth another chance.

The run before that favourite; won by 6 len at this track June 5 over 2200m defeating Kitasan Doshin carrying 57kg at $1.60. Everything points towards a big run.
