Funabashi Race 5 - Funabashi 3Yo
COCO ARISTA (1) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 1.5 lengths over 1200m at this track. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Inside draw will assist and she should be in the finish. CASTLE PRIDE (6) has been in the money at his last couple of runs but struggling to break through, the latest effort a third over 1500m at Urawa. Yet to break through at this trip but has registered three minor placings. Should measure up. LIGHTNING JAB (4) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 5 lengths when fifth over 1500m at Urawa two weeks ago after being prominent at the corner. This looks a sterner test than last time but on her best form she is one of the key runners. CASTLE LOID (7) was safely held when sixth last time after a win at this track at the previous outing. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run.

Lining up for just third start. When well in the market at debut, made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 7 at this track on January 23 over 1200m, 2.5 len behind Trapezium with 54kg at $1.70. Last start favourite; won by 1.5 len at this track February 12 over 1200m defeating Gold Stage with 54kg at $1.90. Going well enough to take this out.
