Funabashi Race 1 - Race 1 - 1200
K'S BRAVE (4) Ran 4th last run at this venue. Has the potential to improve sharply. Should muster plenty of early speed. Suitably placed in this race. VANILLA BEANS (5) Just average when 5th last time around here but having second career run. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value . PALM STREET (6) Sub-standard effort when 5th last run at this venue but having second career run. Likely to be well placed early. Has to be strongly considered. ELMO (1) Not up to scratch when 5th last run around here but fitter for debut run. Gets the perfect draw. Solid place bet prospects.
