Funabashi Race 5 - Funabashi
POD BEAU (8) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Safely held last time out when second over 1200m at this track, beaten 3 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including three wins. Finds a suitable race and can return to the winner's circle. LAST SHOT (5) continued the great form last start, scoring by a neck at this track over today's trip. Well placed to keep the ball rolling. AKSHARDHAM (10) is having her first run since February 9. Goes well when fresh with a win and two placings from four starts. Sure to make her presence felt. SERENITY (9) finished fifth over 1500m at Urawa at her most recent appearance on January 8. One to consider.

Racing well recently. Comes here off a 30-day let-up. Last start won by a neck at this track May 4 over 1200m defeating Abelia Face carrying 56kg at $4.60. The run before that ran on from midfield; 2nd of 10 at this track on April 3 over 1200m, neck behind Keiai Whakapono carrying 56kg at $1.60. Can get the job done again.
