Funabashi Race 2 - Funabashi C3
HIRO SHIGE CRYSTAL (6) was ridden positively and led throughout to score when resuming over 1300m at Urawa last time. Winning jockey stays aboard and with added fitness is likely to play a major role again. JARDIN DU ROI (1) improved last start to finish second at this track and trip. Likely improver with strong prospects. BROAD PHYLUM (3) has been in the placings at her last two starts, finishing third last time at this track and trip. Looks well placed so expect another big run. DERMA OPERA (5) returns after 12 weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fourth at this track and trip. Consider.

Comes off a 35 day let-up. Most recently faded in the straight 5th of 11 at this track on March 30 over 1200m, 3 len behind Aoi Hibiki carrying 54kg at $32. The run before that 7th of 10 at this track on March 9 over 1200m, 9 len behind Field Crown with 54kg at $47.80. Likely to run around at long odds and deservedly so.
