Funabashi Race 7 - Funabashi C2
SATONO ORIENTAL (2) has put together a couple of wins at this circuit, the latest on July 3 over 1200m when she got home by 1.5 lengths. Must raise the bar but a big run is on the cards. ABELIA FACE (5) raced on the pace last start and lifted strongly to hold second, beaten a neck, over today's journey at this track. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing. SERENITY (3) finished out of the money when fresh from a spell two starts back then she settled well back and was beaten 11 lengths when eighth in a 1200m contest at this track five-and-a-half weeks ago. Place hope. NOBU AND MAX (1) has not won for a long while. Last raced on June 29 when beaten 5 lengths into fifth at this track over 1200m after he was well back on straightening. Minor chance.
