Funabashi Race 8 - Funabashi C1
NON STANDARD (3) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a spell on May 16, finishing tenth and beaten 11 lengths over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Now under the care of new trainer Yasuto Mori. Should be hard to stop. CELLIST (4) resumed last start over this distance at this track and scored by 5 lengths. Impeccable record at this course, winning all three starts. Sure to run well. KEEP COMING (8) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when eighth and beaten 7 lengths over 1400m at Kawasaki. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. GRAZIOSO (7) was well fancied last time out but could only manage sixth over 1800m at this track on June 29. Capable of a much better performance.

Comes off a 33 day let-up. Most recently ran second last of 9 at this track on July 2 over 1600m, 14 len behind Cellist carrying 56kg at $346.80. Before that 8th of 11 at Urawa on June 25 over 1500m, 12 len behind Palo Santo with 56kg at $163.60. Likely to find them too smart.
