Funabashi Race 4 - Funabashi C3
LETTER FROM PARIS (8) pushed forward from a wide draw last time and sat just off the lead, eventually drawing away to score by half a length over 1200m at this track. Sure to measure up again. GRAFFITI WAR (4) last appeared three weeks ago over 1200m at this track when he finished second. This is his first run for the Nobuhiro Yamada stable. Has ability and should be right in the finish. WINDHOSE (6) is in winning form after scoring as favourite last time out by 1.5 lengths over 1200m at this track. Yet to miss the frame in 15 starts over this course and distance. Should camp just off the leaders. Should be involved in the finish. IGNITE YOU (9) showed good early dash last time out and led for most of the way before being claimed and finishing 1.5 lengths away in second over 1200m at this track. Has ability and a bold showing is expected.

Second-up. First-up after four months second last of 11 at this track on March 13 over 1200m, 17 len behind Eis King with 56kg at $75.30. Previously second-up 7th of 9 at Urawa on August 20 over 1500m, 19 len behind Tosen Gemini with 56kg at $127.70. Fitter but must improve sharply.

Form hard to fault. Most recently made ground from midfield; 2nd of 11 at this track on March 13 over 1200m, 2.5 len behind Eis King with 56kg at $2.90. The start before that ran on from midfield and won by 0.8 len at this track February 13 over 1200m defeating Harpy Blossom carrying 56kg at $4. Capable of a big finish.

Last start 7th of 12 at this track on March 13 over 1200m, 10 len behind Daiyu Farina carrying 57kg at $12.40. The start before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 3 len at Kawasaki March 4 over 1400m defeating Hina Bonbon carrying 56kg at $5. Shouldn't trouble the top few.

Form hard to fault. Most recently favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.5 len at this track March 14 over 1200m defeating Ignite You carrying 56kg at $1.01. The run before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 12 at this track on February 14 over 1200m, 1.5 len behind Lingus Rocher carrying 56kg at $1.70. Big chance again.

Second-up. First-up after four months favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 0.5 len at this track March 12 over 1200m defeating Keraunos Kazu carrying 54kg at $1.40. Previously second-up 12th of 16 at Hakodate on June 23 over 1200m, 11 len behind Pleiades Group carrying 55.0kg at $21.90. Clearly the one to beat again. Improver with winning prospects.

At the latest run set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 11 at this track on March 14 over 1200m, 1.5 len behind Windhose with 56kg at $11.20. The race before that led to the turn then faded 6th of 12 at this track on February 13 over 1200m, 5 len behind Graffiti War with 56kg at $3.80. Thereabouts last time out. Definite top-three prospect.
