Funabashi B3

Prize Money: $47,553

WELWITSCHIA (9) finished third behind HOPE ETOILE at this track over this distance at his latest outing. Has never missed the frame at this course, including three wins and two placings. One of the major players. GRAND PICNIC (2) was far from disgraced when second last start after being in contention on the turn over 1600m at this track, beaten 0.8 lengths. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. HOPE ETOILE (7) strode forward early from his wide draw to settle just off the lead last start then lifted to score by a nose at this track over 1600m. Expected to feature. DIGEST (4) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish tenth, beaten 6 lengths, over 1600m at this track. Sure to give a sight.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run crossed from a wide gate to lead but couldn't hold on when 2nd of 13 at this track on January 19 over 1600m, 0.8 len behind Lilabad with 56kg at $5.70. The run before that won by 3 len at this track December 12 over 1600m defeating Cheval Noir with 56kg at $49.40. Low draw and expected to go well.

Racing well recently. Most recently set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 11 at this track on January 23 over 1600m, 1.0 len behind Hope Etoile with 56kg at $1.50. The start before that favourite; won by 1.5 len at this track December 11 over 1600m defeating Yodono Taiyo with 56kg at $2.60. Genuine contender.
