Funabashi Race 9 - Funabashi B3
JOYFUL ROCK (7) is a speedy colt who was a winner first up at this track five-and-a-half weeks ago. Takayuki Yano who has four wins when partnering stays on. Bold showing expected. FAST LANE (3) bounced back last start and scored by 0.8 lengths after being in contention on the turn as favourite over 1400m at Urawa. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. NOVEMBER STEP (9) was a dominant winner last time at this track over the same distance. Winning claims on best figures. PEACH BLOSSOM (5) turned in another moderate effort last start when 6 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1200m at this track. Nicely placed to find some form.

Form hard to fault. Returns from a 41-day let-up. Most recently favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 0.8 len at Urawa September 25 over 1400m defeating Punk Beat with 56kg at $2.40. The run before that 4th of 10 at Urawa on August 18 over 1500m, 2 len behind Inadahime with 56kg at $2.20. Can get the job done again.

Second run back. Comes off a 37-day let-up. First-up after three months favourite; scored a big 8 len win at this track September 29 over 1200m defeating Pink Towel Chan with 55kg at $1.70. Previously second-up 2nd of 9 at this track on July 3 over 1200m, 5 len behind Tatsuno King O with 52kg at $2.30. The one to beat based on that latest effort. Improver with winning prospects.

Comes here off a 37-day let-up. At the latest run set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 9 at this track on September 29 over 1200m, 2.25 len behind Improving with 54kg at $10.20. The race before that 6th of 12 at this track on August 27 over 1200m, 7 len behind Fanyu carrying 54kg at $111.60. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.
