Funabashi Race 9 - Funabashi B2
KINGSBURY (6) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fourth and beaten 7 lengths over 1200m at this track. Record at this track is strong. Leading contender. TATSUNO KING O (8) was prominent from the outset when second over 1200m at this track last time out. Has a superb record here at this trip with two wins and a 100% top-three strike rate. Further improvement is likely. KANEKOME SISTER (4) finished midfield at her first run back from a spell last start, beaten 6 lengths over 1200m at Hanshin Dirt when unwanted in betting. Backmarker who keeps coming. Winning claims on best figures. FAST LANE (7) has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at Urawa, most recently beaten 7 lengths into second over 1200m at this track. Likely to be about the money again.
