Funabashi Race 1

1200

Prize Money: $35,441

JOY NINE (6) is the one to beat after improving sharply into fourth at Funabashi last start, beaten five lengths by Siam Holo I Mua after being near the top of betting. She had been unwanted on debut, so the second-run lift reads well in a race with limited exposed depth, and she also has the recent edge over CORELES SPIRIT. CORELES SPIRIT (8) was fifth in that same race, beaten eight lengths, but did attract some market support and has scope to keep improving third-up. LIBRO BOA (5) comes through a different 1000m debut, finishing fifth behind Presto Earth after settling rearward, and the extra 200m gives her a chance to work into the minor money if she begins cleanly. HARUKANO HARU (9) resumes after three months and has to put a heavy debut defeat behind her, though the return to 1200m and Norifumi Mikamoto booking keep her in the place mix.

Comments

Returns from a five-week freshening after a plain debut over 1500m at Funabashi, where she conceded a huge start and was well beaten behind True Target after being unwanted in the market. The drop to 1200m is a query given she never got into the race, but this is only her second start and the race has limited depth. A sharper beginning would give her some minor-money appeal.

Comments

Back after five weeks following a sixth at Funabashi, beaten over 12 lengths behind Siam Holo I Mua at big odds. Her debut was no stronger, finishing sixth over 1000m and beaten over 19 lengths after being unwanted in the market. She is fitter third-up and drops in class, but Joy Nine and Coreles Spirit had her covered last time and she will have to improve sharply.

Comments

Resumes off a five-week break after finishing last on debut over 1000m at Funabashi, beaten over 11 lengths behind Presto Earth. She had the right run behind the leaders to the turn and offered little late, so there was no clear excuse in a small field. The rise to 1200m asks another question, and she has to find considerably more at start two.

Comments

Returns from a four-month break after being tailed off at Funabashi, finishing second last behind Moriken at big odds. Her debut was also plain, ending in a distant last over 1000m after racing rearward and weakening through the line. The class drop is some help, but two heavy defeats leave her with plenty to prove fresh.

Comments

Freshened for five weeks since a debut fifth over 1000m at Funabashi, beaten six and a half lengths behind Presto Earth at long odds. She settled rearward and never looked likely, but the margin was more competitive than several here have produced. The rise to 1200m is the unknown, yet she has enough upside to press for a placing.

Returns from a five-week freshening off the best recent profile in the race, having run fourth at Funabashi when beaten five lengths by Siam Holo I Mua after being near the top of betting. That was a clear lift on her debut behind Naniwano Benkei, and she had Coreles Spirit behind her in the same recent race. Third-up, race fit and top-rated on recent form, she sets the standard here.

Comments

Back after five weeks following a disappointing sixth at Funabashi, where he was well beaten by 20 lengths behind Crazy Rocker and very poor late. He had also been beaten over 16 lengths on debut behind Les Deux Roses, so the exposed form remains modest. The light weight and third-up fitness help, but he must show far more through the line.

Comments

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing fifth at Funabashi, beaten eight lengths by Siam Holo I Mua with some market support. That was a better run than his big-odds debut over 1000m, even if he was only fair late. Joy Nine held him safely last time, but he is fitter third-up, rates well against this field and remains a genuine winning chance.

Comments

Resumes after three months away from racing, with the lone run a heavy debut defeat over 1500m at Funabashi when last behind Premium Team. She was only an outside chance in betting and could not close off, so the race form must be treated cautiously. Dropping back to 1200m is a query, but Norifumi Mikamoto's booking keeps her in the place conversation.
