Funabashi Race 5 - Funabashi C2
PILINA MAANA (9) started at $3.60 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 7 lengths at this track over 1500m. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. VASCULARITY (5) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 3 lengths over 1500m at this track. That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins from five outings. Sure to go well again. LEGEND (6) started at $6.20 last time on the back of a win at this track two starts ago but was below his best, finishing eighth over 1200m at this track after being in the firing line on the bend. Finds a nice race and can bounce back. JASMIN (8) finished third at this track two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 2200m at this track, finishing 10 lengths back in eighth. Open to improvement and should be about the mark.

Last start 6th of 11 at Urawa on February 26 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Peptide Shinano with 56kg at $29.90. The run before that sat behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 12 at this track on January 23 over 1200m, 5.5 len behind Surreal carrying 56kg at $24.20. Will need to improve many lengths to feature.

Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 0.5 len at this track February 13 over 1500m defeating B B Primero carrying 52kg at $8.40. The run before that did the work up front then tired 5th of 13 at this track on January 22 over 1500m, 5 len behind Pilina Maana carrying 52kg at $15.50. Has a low draw and is in the mix.

Returns from a 30-day let-up. At the latest run sat on the pace before fading second last of 12 at this track on February 11 over 1200m, 22 len behind Symboli Light with 56kg at $21.50. The run before that 8th of 12 at this track on January 23 over 1200m, 6 len behind Surreal carrying 56kg at $6.80. Not doing enough to threaten the top few today.

Returns from a 31-day let-up. Most recently raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 3 len at this track February 10 over 1500m defeating Terminator carrying 56kg at $3.60. Before that 5th of 12 at this track on January 21 over 1200m, 6 len behind Symboli Light with 56kg at $30.20. No reason he cannot salute again.
