Funabashi Race 8 - Race 8 - 1500
STEALTH HUNTER (6) Won by a huge margin of 4L last time at the track. Ultra competitive this campaign with 2 wins from 2 starts. Should muster plenty of early speed. Worth strong consideration. BRAVE PROUD (8) Shot clear to win by a margin of 6L last start at the track and having second race start. Gets back and needs luck. Can go on with it. NANIWANO BENKEI (10) Kicked clear when winning by a margin of 7L last start here and having second career run. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Appears well in this. BURIDAIKON (7) Put a gap on the rest when winning by 4L last start here. Been in the money each start this preparation. Winnable race.

Odds of $91.00 and unsatisfactory performance when 7th last start at Kawasaki but gets the perfect barrier. Might be ridden for luck. Place claims at best.

At $34.00 had difficulty when 4th last run at this track but having second race start. Stepping up in trip. Has a good draw. Hard to entertain.
