Funabashi Race 11 - Funabashi A2
PRIMO PYTHON (4) has won at both starts this campaign, the latest by one length over 900m at Kawasaki. Has never missed the frame when third-up from a break so he looks very hard to beat. MASTER PLAN (8) is in top form with two wins on end, the most recent an effortless 2 lengths victory over 1200m at this track five weeks ago. Should settle just off the speed despite the draw. Will prove tough to beat. FREEDOM (7) scored at her most recent appearance, getting home by 2 lengths over 900m at Kawasaki. That continued the solid form this campaign, with four wins and two minor placings from 12 starts. Solid top-three chance. MEDIEVAL (2) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at Ohi. Strips fitter and should be thereabouts.

Last start got back early 7th of 11 at Kawasaki on October 14 over 900m, 6 len behind Freedom carrying 55kg at $53.30. The race before that gave a sight but was run down late 2nd in a small field at this track on September 30 over 1200m, 0.8 len behind Hibiki carrying 57kg at $18.50. Better off investing elsewhere.

The run before that favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 0.8 len at this track August 29 over 1000m defeating Quattro Fonte carrying 57kg at $2.50. Sure to be right there at the business end.

Resuming. Finished off last preparation when last of 10 at Ohi June 12 over 1200m, 13 len behind Kitasan Beleza carrying 54kg at $70.90. First up last campaign ran last of 9 at Ohi May 23 over 1200m, 14 len behind Misuzu Grand O with 53kg at $65. This looks too tough.
