Funabashi Race 2 - Race 2 - 1200
NETSURETSU (6) is the starting point after a clear second-run lift at Funabashi, finishing second and beaten half a length after being pipped on the post. That reads as the strongest recent 1200m reference among the selected runners, and he has more upside third-up after a plain debut. TOKEN GIN FIZZ (11) brings the most consistent profile, having placed in both starts at Mombetsu, though the rise from 1000m to 1200m remains the main point to test. INITIATION (3) was very good on debut at Funabashi, beaten just under a length over 1000m at long odds, and the way he travelled suggests he belongs in the main discussion despite also rising in trip. HAKUSAN FUNABASHI (8) is another debut placegetter with genuine claims, but he was behind INITIATION in that same Funabashi form line, which leaves him needing a small step forward to turn the tables.

Returns from a five-week freshening after running third at Funabashi, beaten five and a half lengths behind Tsuite Yukitai when unwanted in the market. He worked home past tired runners there, which was an improvement on his previous fifth to Mandela Effect when only battling. With two placings from four starts and Genki Fujimoto back aboard, he has enough substance for minor money rather than a clear winning profile.

Was well held at Kawasaki last start, finishing second last and beaten over 18 lengths behind Vuela Grande after settling rearward, with the market giving little encouragement. The run prior was much better, a second to Siena Shangrila when odds-on favourite and beaten just under a length. Dropping back in trip is the query, so she needs a sharp rebound to land in the money.

Returns from a five-week let-up after a solid Funabashi debut, finishing second over 1000m and beaten just under a length by Presto Earth at long odds. He settled back, travelled well to the turn and still found enough late, so there was more merit than the market expected. The 1200m is the fresh query, but that first run gives him a strong platform second-up.

Returns from a lengthy spell after a disappointing Mombetsu run, finishing second last and beaten just over nine lengths behind Special Prince despite being near the top of betting. His previous fifth to Blue On Pink was also safely held, and he remains unplaced from five starts overall. The class drop is noted, but the distance query and recent form leave plenty to prove.

Returns from a one-month freshening after placing on debut at Funabashi, but he was beaten eight and a half lengths behind Henny The Queen in a small field after racing right there without threatening. The market had him near the top of betting, so more was expected. He can improve second-up with that experience, although the debut margin keeps the winning case measured.

Returns from a five-week let-up after a strong Funabashi second, beaten half a length by Siam Holo I Mua when pipped at the post over this trip. That was a major step forward from his debut, where he was last and well beaten after being unwanted in the market. Third-up now, and already placed at 1200m, he sets a clear standard if he holds that improvement.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing second at Funabashi, but the margin was still nine lengths behind Crazy Rocker and he started among the outsiders. His debut fifth behind One After Another was weaker again, beaten over 14 lengths after failing to come into the race. The 51kg helps and he is fitter third-up, yet he looks more a place runner than a win threat.

Returns from a five-week let-up after a promising Funabashi debut, finishing third over 1000m and beaten just over a length by Presto Earth. He led and was only run down late, while the market had him near the top of an open race. The move to 1200m is the query, and he has to turn the tables on Initiation, but there is enough there to keep him prominent.

Worked home evenly at Urawa last start but was only fifth and beaten over 17 lengths behind Straddle at long odds. His previous run was no better, finishing last over 1500m and beaten over 14 lengths after giving away a big start in the lane. The class drop and race fitness are positives in theory, but he needs a much sharper competitive edge.

Made some late ground from a long way back at Kawasaki last start, finishing sixth and beaten six and a half lengths behind Vuela Grande at big odds. That was an improvement on his previous eighth to Co's Bleu, when beaten over 12 lengths and unable to make headway. Dropping in trip is not straightforward, so he must build on that latest finish quickly.

Returns from a five-week freshening in consistent order, having placed in both starts at Mombetsu. She was second last time behind P V Victoria, beaten three lengths, after travelling well but only battling late; on debut she charged home from well back for third behind Dark Mary. The rise to 1200m is the question, yet her form depth makes her a genuine winning player.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing fifth at Funabashi over 1500m, beaten eight and a half lengths behind Fleur Magique and safely held in a small field. He was beaten the same margin when sixth to Mandela Effect the start prior, again failing to finish it off. The class drop and race fitness help, but he needs stronger late pressure at 1200m.
