Funabashi Race 8

2200

Prize Money: $54,839

RICKEY THE KING (7) pushed forward from a wide draw last time out and found the front, holding the lead for most of the way and sticking on well to finish second over 2200m at this track. Will take catching. EXMEDI GOLD (6) finished second at this track two runs back but was less effective last time over 1600m at this track, finishing 40 lengths back in seventh. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Can bounce back. ARC BOLT (2) finished 2.25 lengths away in fifth last time out over 2000m at Kawasaki when resuming from a spell. Steps up in journey today. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Will be in this for a long way. ENTUSIASTA (1) did a great job to score by 2.5 lengths over today's course and distance last start in a far better effort. Likely to be there at the finish again.
