Funabashi Race 5 - Funabashi C3
ISLA DEL NORTE (7) raced on the speed last start and battled on well but found one better over 1400m at Urawa. Yet to break through this time in but hasn't been far away, with four placings to his name. Leading contender. HARMONY HOKUTO (5) improved at the second run back from a spell last start when second over 1200m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths. Has never been out of the placings at the third run in so he is among the leading chances. UNSURPASSED (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 6 lengths into fourth after being in the firing line on the corner. Worth noting Haruto Nakayama goes aboard. Finds a nice race and can find winning form. MARINO THERESIA (8) was beaten 9 lengths into seventh over 1200m at this track at her latest appearance. Capable of featuring prominently.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resumes off a 38 day letup. First-up did the work up front then tired 5th of 11 at this track on June 4 over 1200m, 6 len behind Satono Oriental carrying 56kg at $2.60. Last start led but faded 2nd of 10 at this track on June 29 over 1200m, 2.5 len behind Derma Opera with 56kg at $4.50. Can improve. Top chance if at his best.

Racing well recently. Last start crossed from a wide gate to lead but couldn't hold on when 2nd of 12 at Urawa on July 15 over 1400m, head behind Princess Chiara with 53kg at $1.80. The race before that tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 11 at this track on June 4 over 1200m, 1.0 len behind Satono Oriental with 53kg at $5.70. Went close last time. Leading player again.
