Funabashi Race 4 - Funabashi C3
BEQUEST (1) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when 12th and beaten 8 lengths over 1500m at Urawa. Finds a nice race and can bounce back. GRAFFITI WAR (2) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just three times from 34 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fourth over 1200m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths. Best figures measure up nicely. Makes plenty of appeal. PRINCESS DARK (9) comes here off a break of seven months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1200m at this track. Hasn't scored when fresh from a break but generally races well with two minor placings. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Noboru Tamai. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. ENRAMBU (8) finished 11 lengths from the winner in tenth at her most recent outing over 1400m at Kawasaki. Appeals as a top-four contender.

Mare back from a spell of seven months. Has placed previously first up from a break. Finished off last campaign seventh of 12 at Urawa January 7 over 1400m, 6 len behind Twilight Dress carrying 54kg at $45.40. When resuming last campaign third of 9 at this track December 16 2024 over 1200m, a long neck behind Meiwa Sherry with 54kg at $44.90. This is an ideal race to kick off. Top hope.
