Funabashi Race 6 - Race 6 - 1500
JARDIN DU ROI (9) is backing up just eight days after he was strongly fancied and finished second over 1500m at Urawa. Tricky draw to overcome but is worth following up. ZENDAN COURAGE (7) improved last start but found one better over 1600m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. Ideally placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. SPELL GASSAN (8) has been out of the winner's list for a while, last start finishing fourth at this track over 1500m. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. BOTAN BOUQUET (2) was eighth over 1500m at this track last time out. Can turn things around.

At the latest run 4th of 8 at Urawa on June 25 over 1400m, 3 len behind Sei Dancing carrying 53kg at $95.70. Before that 12th of 14 at this track on June 2 over 1600m, 10 len behind Santa Ana Wind with 56kg at $140.60. Better off investing elsewhere.

Comes here off a 32-day let-up. At the latest run crossed from a wide gate to settle just off the pace but gave ground when 2nd of 14 at this track on June 2 over 1600m, 1.5 len behind Santa Ana Wind carrying 56kg at $23.30. The race before that sat on the speed throughout before fading 8th of 11 at this track on May 4 over 1800m, 8 len behind Burning Wind carrying 56kg at $73.30. Could easily blow them away in the dying stages.

Form hard to fault. Most recently made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 9 at Urawa on June 26 over 1500m, 3 len behind Swift Mary with 56kg at $2.40. The run before that favourite; won by 3 len at this track June 1 over 1500m defeating Miracle Rise carrying 56kg at $1.60. Ideally placed to play a significant role.

The race before that 6th of 12 at this track on April 3 over 1500m, 8 len behind Jingga Blitz with 54kg at $14.50. No threat last start but is capable of better.
