Funabashi Race 3 - Race 3 - 1500
HAPPY FACE (4) Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last start around here. Won't be far away during the run. Been in the money each attempt this preparation. Should take beating. IT'S MY SOUL (1) Came in 6th last run at Kawasaki. Happy to overlook that run and will appreciate a good draw. Prefers to settle towards the rear. One of the hopes. FLY THE FLAG (2) Nice run when 2nd last start at this track and fitter for debut run. Should muster plenty of early toe. Will try to take advantage of the draw. Include in chances. BURIDAIKON (3) Did well when 2nd last start at this track and was on debut last time. Going over more ground. Keep in mind.

Started $3.00 and finished 6th last run at Kawasaki. Happy to overlook that run and has minimal work to do from the draw. Likely to settle back in the field. Has a credible chance.

Competitive effort when 3rd last run at this venue and having second race start. Might have to make up considerable ground. Hard to warm to.
