Funabashi Race 1 - Funabashi C3
ARABIAN PALACE (9) did a great job to score by 1.5 lengths over this course and distance when resuming from a break last start. Nicely placed to take this out. ISLA DEL NORTE (5) returned from a break of seven months and finished second over this course and distance last time out. Should camp just off the leaders. Among the leading chances. MASHI GOOD LUCK (6) made progress last time out, finishing 3 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1000m at this track after being prominent at the bend. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. PINO NUI (4) improved last start to finish third over 1500m at Urawa. Can figure again.

Form hard to fault. Returns from a 35-day let-up. At the latest run 3rd of 13 at this track on April 1 over 1500m, 2.75 len behind Verdario with 54kg at $38.20. The race before that 4th of 10 at Urawa on March 18 over 1500m, 5 len behind Party King carrying 54kg at $3.90. Nice draw and worth thought.
