Funabashi Race 11 - Funabashi B3
SUMERAGI (5) returned from a spell three-and-a-half weeks ago when he was in contention on the turn before being beaten 4 lengths into fourth over 1600m at this track. Fitter and sure to run well. GRAND PICNIC (9) ran below expectations last time after being prominent on the turn at this track, finishing ninth and beaten 10 lengths starting at $3.80. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. PRINCE MAKER (7) settled well back and never threatened when seventh over 1400m at Kawasaki last time out. Taking on a better field but he is up to the task. CAP (8) was ridden quietly from a good draw last start before closing nicely to get up for sixth over 1400m at Kawasaki. One to watch for in the closing stages.

Second-up. First-up after five months 4th of 14 at this track on February 11 over 1600m, 4 len behind Carnival March carrying 56kg at $4.10. Previously second-up 11th of 13 at Kyoto Dirt on November 30 2024 over 1400m, 14 len behind C'est Divin with 55.0kg at $9. Even fitter and is an excellent winning chance.
