Funabashi Race 11 - Funabashi A
COPANO PASADENA (9) has four placings from six starts this prep and last start finished 1.1 lengths from the winner in third over 1000m at this track. Key runner who should feature in the finish. RGYAL DAR (3) gave a bold sight at the latest appearance over 1800m at this track but dropped out to finish eighth. Reunites with Takayuki Yano who has six wins from 18 rides. Best form puts him right in this. MILD CLAYMORE (6) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at Hanshin, beaten 5 lengths. Ideally placed and is sure to be there at the finish. HASENO BRIAN (5) has two placings from three runs this campaign and last start finished 2.75 lengths from the winner in third over 1200m at this track. Another top-three finish is on the cards.
