Funabashi Race 2 - Race 2 - 1200
YUYAKENO SORA (7) Ran well when 3rd last run at the track and having second career run. Coming back in distance. Appears well in this. FRIEND TOWER (6) Honest race when 3rd last start at this track and having second career run. Has early speed and positions nicely. Respect against this field. MARUHIRO DELUXE (8) In the money when 3rd last start here and was a debutant last start. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Can go on with it. ANSAR (3) Was competitive when 3rd last run at this track and having second career run. Will be pushing for a forward position early. One of the major players.

Jumped at $26.00 and well beaten when 4th last start around here but fitter for debut run. Will appreciate a good alley. Will be facing a significant drop in distance. Needs a mighty effort to win this.

Odds of $4.00 and finished 4th last start at the track but having second career run. Prefers to settle towards the rear. Drawn nicely. Not likely to be troubling the more fancied runners today.

At $5.50 finished 4th last time at this track but having second career run. Should be going forward early. Pass at this stage.

Tidy run when 3rd last start here and was on debut last time. Should jump out and bowl along. Rates as one of the key chances.

Odds of $67.00 and moderate showing when 6th last time around here. Might be ridden for luck. Could not recommend.
