Funabashi Race 1 - Race 1 - 1200
TURN IT UP (2) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then was sixth in a 1200m contest at this track three weeks ago. Fitter and can break through. MAHARAJA (5) resumes from a spell of nine weeks and is having his first outing under new trainer Masao Ai. Finished ninth at this track over 1200m at the opening run last time in work. Can play a major role. RAGHUBIR (8) showed little early speed and was always well back last start when seventh over this journey at this track. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. M ONE WORKS (3) was in a rearwards position on the turn last time out before finishing sixth over 1200m at this track. Worth including in this suitable contest.

Resuming after a nine weeks break. Finished off last campaign seventh of 12 at this track December 11 over 1200m, 12 len behind Ryuno Legacy with 55kg at $4.30. On debut second last of 10 at this track October 3 over 1200m, 20 len behind Coal Black carrying 54kg at $141.10. Could prove too smart for these.
