Funabashi Race 8

1600

Prize Money: $45,699

FOREST GATE (8) resumes from a spell of ten weeks. Could only manage to finish ninth at the latest run over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt. Rates on top and is a great chance to break through. MENDORONG DDO DDOT (4) hasn't featured at his last two runs, the latest when beaten 14 lengths into sixth at Tokyo Dirt. Expecting a far better run at this level. FULL HEART BEAT (1) closed last prep ten weeks ago when he finished fifth over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Sure to measure up. AIR STAR JOY (3) was beaten 10 lengths into sixth in a 2000m contest at Ohi last time out. No surprise to see him in the frame.

Comments

Comes off a 45 day let-up. Most recently 6th of 10 at Ohi on May 13 over 2000m, 10 len behind Imono Soda Waride with 56kg at $141. The race before that ran last of 9 at this track on May 3 over 1500m, 22 len behind Yoruno Teio carrying 56kg at $31.60. Better than that recent plain performance suggests.

Jumped as a despised roughie at debut, second last of 16 at Kyoto Dirt on May 25 over 1800m, 27 len behind Izanagi with 54.0kg at $51.80. Might need more time based on that poor debut.
