Funabashi Race 4 - Race 4 - 1200
SATONO ORIENTAL (6) is fresh from a spell of 15 months and did hit the frame when last resuming at Kyoto Dirt over 1400m. In a different yard now. Plenty to like about her prospects. AOI HIBIKI (5) is a progressive four-year-old entire who resumes from a break of nine weeks, his last appearance being a win over 1200m at this track at his only run of that campaign. Has never been out of the placings first up from two tries. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Sure to be in the finish. ISLA DEL NORTE (7) showed good early speed then led into the straight last start before fighting on to finish second, beaten a neck, over 1200m at this track. Among the main hopes. HARMONY HOKUTO (9) hasn't raced since finishing 13 lengths away in tenth over 1500m at Urawa on November 28. Has a strong record when fresh, claiming five wins from five runs and proved too good first up last prep, he is among the leading chances.

Most recently 9th of 11 at Urawa on May 25 over 1500m, 10 len behind Dir Brand carrying 54kg at $43.70. The start before that ran last of 12 at this track on May 8 over 1500m, 21 len behind B B Radon with 53kg at $15. Would be better placed in something easier.
