Funabashi Race 2 - Funabashi 3Yo
POD BUDDY (6) finished fourth last start after being in the firing line on the bend over 1400m at Mizusawa in an improved run. Must raise the bar but a big run is on the cards. PARADISE BEAT (2) is a five-start maiden who finished fourth at her most recent appearance over 1200m at this track. This offers her a great chance of breaking through. OYOME SAMBA (3) is a nine-start maiden who could only manage to finish tenth at her latest appearance over 1200m at this track. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment. KEN VIOLET (9) missed the placings last start when eighth over 1200m at this track. No surprise to see her in contention.

Second-up. First start ran last in a small field at this track on August 30 2024 over 1000m, 37 len behind Will Shine with 53kg at $6.80. Returned from break held ground to the line 3rd of 11 at this track on October 3 over 1200m, 30 len behind Alpherg carrying 56kg at $22.90. Others offer greater appeal.
