Funabashi Race 3 - Race 3 - 1200

WONDER JOURNEY (5) Was nothing special when 9th last start at the track. Aoi Shinoya is a plus. Up to these. MICO DEPARTURE (12) Bolted in when winning by a margin of 3L last run at Urawa and returning to a rise in trip. Has the speed to overcome the wide barrier. Capable of forward showing and can be competitive. TESSERA GLADIUS (1) Below par performance when 10th last run at Kawasaki but drawn beautifully. Has shown early pace in races to date. Will be facing a significant drop in distance. Looks to be value. MARINO LOWE (11) Claimed a tight victory last start at this venue and showing improvement in recent outings. Suitably placed in this race.

Racing well recently. Returns from a 36-day let-up.

The start before that gave a sight but was run down late 2nd of 7 at this track on August 2 over 1200m, 1.0 len behind Smile Freyja with 54kg at $1.70. Genuine contender under these conditions.

Second-up. Comes off a 50-day let-up. First-up after eight months favourite; won by 3 len at Urawa on August 10 over 800m defeating Honey Mustard with 54kg at $2.60. Previously second-up ran last of 7 at this track on October 3 over 1200m, 11 len behind Strong Bond carrying 54kg at $2.20. Sure to go well again. Improver with winning prospects.
