Funabashi Race 9 - Funabashi B2
FAST ONE (10) went forward and proved too strong when resuming last time out, scoring by 2.5 lengths over 1400m at Urawa. Can cross from an awkward gate. Finds a suitable assignment and can run another big race. ARANJUEZ ROSE (6) scored by 1.5 lengths over this distance at this track last time out. Has a strong record this course, scoring at four of eight starts. Expect a bold showing. THOR HAMMER (9) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing seventh and beaten 4.5 lengths starting at $9.40. Has the talent to put the recent run behind him. SEISHO FUJI (7) comes here off a break of ten weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1200m at this track. Comes here with definite top-three claims.

Last start raced on the speed throughout before fading 7th of 11 at this track on March 12 over 1200m, 4.5 len behind Maile Lei carrying 56kg at $9.40. The start before that ran on from midfield and won by a nose at this track February 9 over 1200m defeating K's Blanc with 56kg at $1.60. Worth another chance.

Second run back. First-up after three months favourite; won by 2.5 len at Urawa February 27 over 1400m defeating Tosen Gemini with 54kg at $1.20. Previously second-up favourite; won by 2 len at Urawa October 28 over 1400m defeating Danon Rainier with 54kg at $2.30. Even fitter and hard to go past on current form. Improver with winning prospects.
