Funabashi Race 5 - Race 5 - 1200
BRIGHT FLASH (4) did well to score at this track two runs ago. Decent effort last time out when fifth over 1200m at this track, beaten 1.75 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. ACKERMAN (2) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when seventh, beaten 7 lengths, over 1200m at this track after he was in the firing line on the bend. Generally runs well when third-up and is expected to do much better. SATONO MUSTANG (6) turned in an eye-catching run last time out over 1200m at this track, charging home from well back to finish half a length away in second. Is in solid form this time in work, scoring two times and placing on three occasions from 10 starts. Expected to be competitive. MUUMUU (1) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing eighth at this track over 1000m. Best figures measure up nicely. One of the chances.
