Funabashi Race 12 - Race 12 - 1600
SHIMIZU MINATO (10) placed as favourite last time over 1800m at this track after he had won three races on end. Can find winning form again. ELECTRIC BOOGIE (7) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1800m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Strips fitter and can figure in the finish. SIENA NO PALIO (5) made progress last time out, finishing 5.5 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1600m at this track after being in the firing line on the corner. Has the talent to take care of this field. SMILE MORE (8) hasn't made an impression lately despite market confidence. Last start could only manage sixth over 1800m at this track. Can improve and is worth including.

Most recently made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 10 at this track on August 4 over 1600m, 5.5 len behind Sehr Schnell with 55kg at $52.20. Before that ran second last of 9 at Urawa on July 14 over 1500m, 4 len behind Airport Liner carrying 55kg at $7.80. Good effort last start and can build on that performance.

Second-up. First-up after five months 8th of 10 at this track on August 4 over 1600m, 18 len behind Sehr Schnell with 55kg at $166.80. Previously second-up won by a neck at this track on November 7 over 1600m defeating Bouncelight with 55kg at $9.40. Unlikely to threaten.
