Funabashi Race 5 - Race 5 - 1200
GRAFFITI WAR (6) turned in a fine effort to win by 0.8 lengths at today's track and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is one of the key runners. EIS KING (7) won at this track and distance at his last outing four-and-a-half months ago, the only appearance of that campaign. One of the genuine hopes in the race. PANTANAL (11) is back after a break of ten months. Looking to emulate his win at this track to kick off the last campaign. Definite top-three chance. DERMA AMMIT (5) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths into sixth. Suitably placed so can turn things around.

Useful entire. Comes off a 48 day let-up. Most recently faded in the straight 6th of 10 at this track on January 24 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Sei Dancing with 56kg at $5.90. The race before that ran last of 12 at this track on November 26 over 1200m, 15 len behind Exmedi No Tsurugi carrying 56kg at $15.70. Working up to a win. Worth following.
