Funabashi Race 12 - Funabashi B2
JOYFUL ROCK (5) has been a regular in the winners' stall of late including last start in dominant fashion over 1200m at this track. Going up a level this time but he deserves plenty of thought. SIRIUS (11) resumes from a spell of 11 weeks and is having his first outing under new trainer Yasuto Mori. Finished 11th at Niigata Dirt over 1200m at the opening run last time in work. One of the better hopes despite the layoff. TAISEI FESTA (7) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing third last time when he was prominent throughout over 1400m at Kawasaki. Meets a stronger field but he is good enough to take this out. FAST LANE (1) went forward and gave a great sight when second over 1200m at this track last time out. Masashige Honda who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Not to be discounted.

Recent form sound. At the latest run tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 11 at Kawasaki on November 17 over 1400m, 4.5 len behind Sazanka with 55kg at $11.90. Before that made ground from midfield; 2nd of 10 at this track on November 4 over 1200m, 4 len behind Kingsbury with 55kg at $10.20. Hard to beat if he brings his A-game.

Resuming. Finished off last campaign seventh of 12 at this track May 8 over 1200m, 5 len behind Haseno Brian carrying 56kg at $190.10. First up last campaign tenth of 12 at this track September 24 2024 over 1200m, 6 len behind Seidelbast carrying 57kg at $48.90. Doesn't appeal.
