Funabashi Race 8 - Race 8 - 1500
BRAVE PROUD (8) impressed when successful as favourite on debut over 1500m at this track three weeks ago. Looks promising and can measure up again. TOKUSHI MARILYN (12) impressed when successful as favourite on debut over 1000m at this track three weeks ago. Sure to be further improved and can make it back-to-back wins. STEALTH HUNTER (6) scored last start at this track to make it two wins from two starts this campaign. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Will give backers a great sight. NANIWANO BENKEI (10) raced on the speed from the outset and went to score by 7 lengths on debut last start over 1200m at this track. Solid claims.

Was at big odds at debut, eased back early on ran second last in a small field at this track on July 3 over 1000m, 7 len behind Selenophile carrying 54kg at $37. Encouraging signs on debut but this looks a tough assignment.

Lining up for just third start. At debut, ran second last in a small field at this track on July 4 over 1000m, 8 len behind Invaincu with 54kg at $9.80. Second-up 5th of 9 at this track on August 3 over 1200m, 11 len behind Lala Blossom with 54kg at $7.20. Hard to make a case on recent form.
