Funabashi Race 1 - Funabashi C3
SHINING EARTH (5) registered a strong win at this track two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when third over 1200m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths. Enjoys a drop in grade so he is a leading contender. MIKASA (2) last appeared when fifth over 1500m at Urawa 12 weeks ago. One of the genuine hopes in the race. FAIRYLAND (10) returned from a spell three weeks ago when she was in the firing line on the corner before being beaten 7 lengths into eighth over 1200m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can get the job done. NITTO AXIA (11) closed last prep nine months ago when she finished 13th over 1200m at Fukushima. Capable of playing a big role.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Not raced for 38 days. Resuming rolled along in front before being edged out 3rd of 12 at this track on February 11 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Keiai Whakapono with 56kg at $6.90. Second-up ran last of 13 at Urawa on February 23 over 1400m, 19 len behind Dancing Rascal with 56kg at $12.10. Definite winning chance. Keep safe.

Second run back. First-up after nearly two years raced on the speed throughout before fading 8th of 10 at this track on March 11 over 1200m, 7 len behind End Stage carrying 54kg at $3.60. Previously second-up won by 1.5 len at this track April 12 2024 over 1200m defeating Virgo Spica with 54kg at $3.90. Worth consideration.
