Funabashi Race 3 - Funabashi C3
LONGING KEY (7) progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1400m at Urawa. Must raise the bar but another big run will not surprise. LUNAR SOUTH POLE (6) tasted defeat last start when fourth over 1500m at this track. Nicely placed to test this line-up. AIDAKE (8) has been in great form with two placings in succession, most recently when second over 1500m at this track. Nicely placed to find winning ways. SPELL GASSAN (5) scored a barnstorming win last start over 1500m at this track, coming from the tail to get up by a nose. Comes here in the right frame of mind so she looks sure to be competitive.

Second run back. Comes off a 36-day let-up. First-up after 11 months 7th of 12 at Urawa on February 27 over 1400m, 7 len behind Morning with 56kg at $6.10. Previously second-up 8th of 16 at Hanshin Dirt on April 9 2023 over 1200m, 15 len behind Dixie Gunner with 56.0kg at $714.30. Fitter but must improve sharply.
