Funabashi Race 3 - Funabashi C3
KOBINAI FOUNTAIN (2) turned things around last start and landed the prize by a neck after being in contention on the turn over 1500m at Urawa. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. FRUITS PARFAIT (4) had been racing consistently with four minor placings on end prior to finishing fifth most recently over 1500m at Urawa. Back to the track at which she finished second two runs back. Deserves a win and can improve sharply. SPELL GASSAN (5) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a sixth over 1500m at Urawa. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot return to winning ways. BIJOUX MEFA'A (6) has not won for a long while. Last raced on July 3 when beaten 6 lengths into fifth at this track over 1500m after she gave away a big start. Can play a prominent role.

Third-up today. Resuming ran second last of 12 at this track on June 4 over 1200m, 9 len behind Keep Adorable with 54kg at $149.70. Second-up ran second last in a small field at this track on July 3 over 1500m, 5.5 len behind Scarlet Cross with 54kg at $16. Mediocre effort last time out but this suits.

Last start 6th of 12 at Urawa on July 16 over 1500m, 6 len behind Kobinai Fountain carrying 51kg at $5.80. The start before that ran on from midfield; 3rd of 10 at this track on July 4 over 1500m, 4.5 len behind Zendan Courage carrying 51kg at $7.10. Worth another chance.

Last start ran second last of 9 at Kawasaki on July 28 over 1500m, 10 len behind Schweigen with 54kg at $59.20. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 11 at Kawasaki on July 7 over 1500m, 13 len behind Yamanin Tremolo with 54kg at $52.80. Hard to make much of a case.
