Funabashi Race 8 - Funabashi B2
CRYSTALLIZE (1) made progress last time out, finishing 4.5 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 800m at Urawa after being in the firing line on the bend. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. PRINCE MAKER (4) finished out of the money two starts back then he was always well out of his ground and was beaten 6 lengths when ninth over 1200m at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. WORLD EMPIRE (7) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a seventh over 1200m at this track. Steps up a level but he is capable of running a bold race. SUPPOSED TO KILL (5) is back at the races for the first time since November 7. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1200m at Ohi. Has switched to the Yasuhide Yoneya stable. Among the better hopes.
