Funabashi Race 12 - Race 12 - 1500

FIRE WALTZ (12) is the horse to beat after going under by only a neck as well-supported favourite in 3yo+ C2 company at Funabashi. That followed a Urawa run where she made ground from too far back, and her record across the past 12 months gives her a sound platform third-up. KOMASA (10) is the clear danger, having won a 3yo COND here by three lengths before being beaten half a length as favourite last time; his overall and Funabashi records are hard to fault. GOLD TOPIARY (8) brings genuine consistency, with a close third here over 1200m last start, though the step to 1500m is the fresh test. GOLD PARTNER (6) resumes after two C2 wins at Funabashi and has a useful track-and-distance record, but the break and rise into this C1 contest make him more of a measured winning hope than a risk-free option.

Returns after five weeks following a sixth at Funabashi over 1200m, beaten three and a half lengths behind Daisen Sirius after giving away a start and working home with purpose. The start prior was only even when fifth to Bright Beginning, and Gold Topiary had his measure recently. Placed four times from six runs at this distance, so he profiles as a minor-money chance rather than a dominant winning threat.

Returns from a lengthy spell after a plain ninth at Urawa, beaten over 15 lengths by Palo Santo at long odds. His previous Funabashi run was weaker again, finishing last behind Recado and beaten a long way after never getting into the race. He has won here before, but recent form leaves him with a sizeable task fresh.

Has been well held at his latest two runs, finishing tenth at Kawasaki behind Dantalion when beaten over 11 lengths after settling too far back and never looking likely. The run prior at Funabashi was no better, beaten over 16 lengths behind Kitasan Riser. Any class relief helps only slightly, and he needs a sharp reversal.

Returns after five weeks on the back of a poor second-up platform, having finished second last at Funabashi behind Kitasan Riser when well beaten and unwanted in the market. He was also ninth here over 1200m before the break, beaten over 12 lengths. With five unplaced runs at this track, others bring more reliable credentials.

Returns from a lengthy spell after tackling 3yo+ A1 grade at Nagoya, where he was eighth to Mad Roulette and beaten over 10 lengths at long odds. The start prior was a long way below his best when last behind Bent. His 1500m record is strong, with four wins from 17 attempts, so he can improve sharply if the class drop sparks him.

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending last campaign with consecutive 3yo+ C2 wins at Funabashi, most recently beating Marogare by a length and a half as odds-on favourite. The earlier win over Success Beiju was also decisive late. He is one from six at this track and distance and reunites with a rider who knows him well, but the C1 rise asks for another step.

Returns after five weeks having finished seventh at Funabashi behind Kitasan Riser, beaten over 14 lengths after coming under pressure late. He can race handy, but his prior second here still saw him beaten four lengths by Grazioso after weakening. That leaves a clear stamina and finishing query to answer.

Returns after five weeks off a close third at Funabashi over 1200m, beaten just under a length by Daisen Sirius after being pipped late. That was a stronger piece of form than her fifth behind A Shin Carrots, where she made late ground from well back. Her Funabashi record is excellent, but the first try at 1500m is the main question.

Returns after one month following a solid third in 3yo+ C2 company at Funabashi over 1800m, beaten three lengths by Yuomaishin after looming without quite threatening. She had earlier run second at Urawa behind Dancing Rascal and now comes back in trip. The recent consistency is useful, though her winning record still points more to a place chance.

Returns after five weeks in strong form, having gone under by only half a length to Sound Connect as well-supported favourite in 3yo COND grade at Funabashi. He had beaten Maono Heidi by three lengths here the start prior and his overall record reads two wins and two placings from five starts. Should be prominent again and is a serious winning player.

Has struggled in two runs this campaign, finishing last at Kawasaki behind Meiner Boss when well beaten at big odds. The previous Funabashi run was also plain, beaten over 19 lengths behind Bright Beginning after settling rearward. He is third-up and back to a winning distance, but current form gives little reason to push his case.

Returns after five weeks off a narrow Funabashi second in 3yo+ C2 grade, beaten a neck by Balance The Books as a well-supported favourite. Her Urawa fifth two back was less flattering, but she made late ground after settling too far back. Third-up now, with one win and five placings from eight starts in the past 12 months, she sets a strong standard.

Returns from a lengthy spell after a close second at Funabashi in 3yo COND company, beaten a neck by Pleasant Tone. He had also run third here behind Fours Men, beaten just over two lengths, so the pre-break form was sound. With no wins from four at this track and distance and a wide barrier, he needs to return in the right order.
