Funabashi Race 1

1200

Prize Money: $28,284

BRIGHTIA MER (9) returns after four-and-a-half months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fourth over 1200m at this track. Ready for a bold run. DAI RANGER (6) is on debut for the Kiyoshige Arai stable. Three-year-old colt by Thunder Snow from Chika. Serious contender, particularly if solid in the market. G T VALENTI (2) didn't do a lot on debut four weeks ago, finishing 8 lengths from the winner in fourth over 1200m at this track. Plenty of scope for improvement. Shapes as one to consider. FOLLOW ME ALONG (1) debuted four weeks ago when he finished fifth over 1200m at this track, beaten 12 lengths. Improver who can feature in the finish.
