Funabashi Race 3

Funabashi

Prize Money: $27,556

WELWITSCHIA (11) is having his first run since winning by a neck six weeks ago over 1500m at Nagoya. Has transferred to the Manabu Yamamoto stable over the break. Plenty to like about his prospects. HASHIRIMASSE (1) started at $7.40 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths at Urawa over 2000m. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. SURF PLATINUM (9) settled well back when 18 lengths from the winner in 12th over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt last start, a less impressive effort than her seventh at Tokyo Dirt the run before. Ideally placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. ZEN SOLEIL (7) turned in a better run last start, beaten 2.75 lengths into fourth over 1200m at this track. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.

Recent form sound. Comes here off a 42-day let-up. At the latest run favourite; ran on from midfield and won by a neck at Nagoya July 18 over 1500m defeating Gold Pan with 57kg at $3.10. The start before that 2nd of 11 at Nagoya on July 10 over 1500m, 3 len behind Copano Howard with 57kg at $10. Can get the job done again.
