Funabashi Race 11 - Funabashi A
GIGA KING (7) strode forward early from his wide draw last start over 1600m at this track only to fade late and finish fifth. Well placed and expected to feature. BEYOND THE FATHER (1) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when tenth, beaten 12 lengths, over 1600m at this track after he settled well back. Has further improvement to come and looks a clear threat. LYRA BOND (3) is having his second run back from a break after he failed to threaten first up over 1700m at Kokura Dirt, beaten 17 lengths. Must be respected. HIGHESTEND (8) was in the money two starts back at this track but was unable to repeat the effort last time when 12th, beaten 36 lengths, at this track over 2400m. Nicely placed to make amends.

At the latest run 8th of 11 at Urawa on March 20 over 1500m, 6 len behind Sea Serpent with 57kg at $19.40. Before that second last of 8 at Urawa on February 25 over 2000m, 11 len behind Sparta Leonidas with 57kg at $19.60. Rather invest elsewhere.
