Funabashi Race 10 - Funabashi B2
BRIGHT FLASH (8) added to his impressive record with a win over 1200m at this track at his last appearance before a break six-and-a-half months ago. Is unbeaten from two runs when resuming so he is expected to go very well. THOR HAMMER (3) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by a nose over 1200m at this track as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with two wins from three outings. Can measure up again. MAILE LEI (11) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 1200m at this track. Likely to press forward from wide out. Likely improver with strong prospects. GOLDEN SWEEP (10) returns after a spell of four-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1200m at this track. Definite top-three chance.

Chasing a hat-trick. Returns from a 31-day let-up. Last start favourite; ran on from midfield and won by a nose at this track February 9 over 1200m defeating K's Blanc carrying 56kg at $1.60. The race before that favourite; came from midfield and won by 1.5 len at this track January 19 over 1200m defeating Tsutsu Uraura carrying 56kg at $5.10. An inside gate is a big advantage. Winning prospects.
