Funabashi Race 2 - Funabashi C3
END STAGE (3) finished third behind SHINING EARTH at this track over this distance at his latest outing. Excellent record here having never missed the placings in 11 starts, including eight wins and three placings. Best form puts him right in this. SHINING EARTH (5) finished seventh two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 0.8 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend over 1200m at this track. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat again in this suitable race. FAIRYLAND (6) resumes. Was racing well immediately prior to the break registering two minor placings in a row, the latest over this course and distance. A bright return is expected. PING PANG PONG (4) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1200m at this track, beaten 0.8 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.

Comes here off a 50-day let-up. Last start ran last of 12 at this track on January 20 over 1500m, 28 len behind Bright Beginning carrying 54kg at $165.40. Before that 5th of 9 at Kanazawa on December 14 over 1400m, 4.5 len behind Shanghai No Hana with 55kg at $32.50. This looks too tough.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 29-day let-up. Last start made ground from midfield; 3rd of 12 at this track on February 10 over 1200m, 1.1 len behind Shining Earth with 56kg at $1.50. The start before that favourite; ran on from midfield and won by 0.5 len at this track January 20 over 1200m defeating Field Crown with 56kg at $3.10. Ideally placed to play a significant role.

Comes off a 29 day let-up. At the latest run ran on from midfield and won by 0.8 len at this track February 10 over 1200m defeating Ping Pang Pong with 56kg at $13.60. The run before that eased back early on 7th of 12 at this track on January 20 over 1200m, 9 len behind End Stage carrying 56kg at $34.60. Can get the job done again.

Resuming today after a break of 20 months. Finished off last campaign third of 7 at this track June 27 2024 over 1200m, 1.3 len behind Win Cha Cha carrying 54kg at $14.40. When resuming last campaign second last of 12 at this track March 6 2024 over 1200m, 17 len behind Lonely Planet carrying 54kg at $4.50. Could prove too smart for these.
