Funabashi Race 7 - Funabashi 3Yo

MALDIVES FLAVOR (4) went forward last start over this track and trip and held on well for second. Drawn to stalk the leaders. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. SAYONO BIG HOPE (2) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 1500m at Kawasaki, scoring by half a length. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Nicely drawn and he is one of the main chances. JO TOBY (7) proved too strong two runs ago at Urawa. Couldn't follow that up last time. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done. HOPE ETOILE (10) is ready to break through after collecting his fourth minor placing in a row last time over 1500m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time.

Form hard to fault. Returns from a 38-day let-up. At the latest run sat on the pace when 3rd of 9 at this track on December 16 over 1500m, 2.5 len behind Steel Cannon with 55kg at $2.60. The race before that rolled along in front before being edged out 2nd of 11 at this track on November 25 over 1200m, 2.5 len behind Grindavik with 55kg at $3.30. Genuine contender under these conditions.
