Funabashi Race 5 - Funabashi 2Yo
GEOPARK LOVE (1) wasted no time getting off the mark as favourite on debut over 1000m at this track three-and-a-half months ago and has not appeared since. Promising type who can go back-to-back. COSMO GIGANTEA (2) struggled against tougher company over 1800m at Tokyo last time out when fresh from a spell. Much better suited in this grade and is expected to feature. ELFIE DANCE (4) pushed forward and was a determined winner by 1.5 lengths over this track and trip last time out. Holds genuine claims. COAL BLACK (3) scored on debut last start over 1200m at this track back in March, finishing 2.5 lengths ahead of the nearest rival. Has to be taken serious.

Resuming after a break; only one run when favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 3 len at this track July 31 over 1000m defeating Kenshi Yuki with 54kg at $1.10. Look for a bold run.

Raced twice to date. At long odds at debut, sat behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 9 at this track on August 31 over 1500m, 12 len behind Remember Well with 52kg at $32.50. Last start scored a big 7 len win at this track October 1 over 1200m defeating Evolve Queen carrying 52kg at $4.90. Will find this a bit too tough.
