Funabashi Race 5 - Funabashi C2
HORSEMANSHIP (10) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 3 lengths over 1200m at this track. Tricky draw to overcome but does have good gate speed. Meeting a deeper field this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. TAISEI FORTE (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 1.4 lengths into fifth. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. PEERLESS (2) is struggling to break through but hasn't been far away, the latest effort a seventh, beaten 1.75 lengths, over 1200m at this track. Reunites with Norifumi Mikamoto which is a proven winning combination. One of the main contenders. DREEPY (6) finished second at this track two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1200m at this track, finishing 1.5 lengths back in sixth. Finds a nice race and can bounce back.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. First-up 3rd of 12 at this track on February 10 over 1200m, 1.5 len behind Sanono Tarumae carrying 54kg at $21.50. Second run from a spell eased back early on 7th of 12 at this track on March 14 over 1200m, 1.75 len behind Platina Band with 52kg at $10.30. Definite winning chance.

Going well. Most recently made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 12 at this track on March 11 over 1200m, 3 len behind Horsemanship with 56kg at $14.60. The race before that sat on the pace when 3rd of 12 at Urawa on February 25 over 1400m, 0.6 len behind Keep Rising carrying 56kg at $9.20. Chances enhanced by drawing a nice marble.

At the latest run sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 12 at this track on March 14 over 1200m, 1.5 len behind Platina Band carrying 56kg at $8.50. Before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 12 at this track on February 10 over 1200m, 1.0 len behind Sanono Tarumae carrying 56kg at $133.30. Big chance after a respectable effort last time out.
