Funabashi Race 7 - Funabashi C1
A SHIN DAZZLE (7) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1600m at this track. Should park just off the speed. Has the ability to find the winners' list. SHINATSUHIME (5) was ridden positively and led throughout to score over 1200m at this track last time. Same rider aboard and should prove tough to beat. BAILA NOCHE (3) is a promising type who scored at her only run last prep eight months ago over 1500m at this track. Has never missed the frame when fresh from a spell in two starts. Kenji Okamura who has scored on her two times retains the mount. Has claims on her best figures. NA HIKU (2) showed good speed and fought on for second over 1200m at this track last time. Has never been out of the money in five starts here, including a win. Worth considering.

Returns from a 33-day let-up. Last start won by 1.5 len at this track July 2 over 1200m defeating The Big Man with 54kg at $8.60. The start before that made ground from midfield; 3rd of 12 at this track on June 3 over 1200m, 2 len behind Spirit Surge with 54kg at $17. Confidence high so a repeat performance is on the cards.
