Funabashi Race 7 - Funabashi
NARISUNA (2) went forward and proved too strong when resuming last time out, scoring by 3 lengths over 1500m at this track. Drawn to enjoy a good run on the speed. Going up a level this time but she is good enough to play a major role. NOBLESSE LA BRILLE (10) returned from a spell five-and-a-half weeks ago when she was beaten 3.5 lengths into seventh over 1800m at Fukushima. Finds a more suitable contest and can find winning form. SADAMU MONT BLANC (4) is back from a spell of four months. Closed last prep as a winner, taking out a 1500m contest at this track by 0.8 lengths. Genuine type with two wins from four starts. Ticks all the right boxes. JASPER LEON (7) lines up for the first time since March 29. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1400m at Kochi. Definite top-three chance.
