Funabashi Race 4 - Race 4 - 1200
WINGS (2) has made an ideal start, winning both runs at Funabashi over 1200m and backing up an eight-length debut win with a four-length success from Mori Invictus as a prohibitive odds-on favourite. That exposed dominance makes him the one to beat. WHITE NILE (4) is the main danger after putting three lengths on Tagano Nashville here last time, and his one win from two starts at Funabashi adds substance, though the previous fourth to Pod Shank was plain late. GOD BROWN (6) keeps threatening, beaten a nose then a neck at her past two, and her 80% place record at this track and distance says she belongs in the winning discussion despite still chasing a first win. TAISEI ZESTY (9) brings different form through Chukyo Dirt 3yo Maiden races, beaten just over six lengths at 1800m and 1900m, and the stable change gives him a fresh platform if he can adapt back to 1200m.

Worked into a handy spot at Urawa last week but offered little when it counted and was well beaten by Hotel Street over 2000m at long odds. The start prior at Funabashi was no better, finishing eighth and beaten over 11 lengths after conceding a huge start. The class drop and winning rider returning help only at the margins, and she has to lift sharply to trouble these.

Returns off a five-week let-up as an unbeaten colt with two dominant Funabashi wins over 1200m. He led and won by eight lengths on debut, then repeated the dose as a prohibitive odds-on favourite, beating Mori Invictus by four lengths. Proven at the track and trip, third-up and with the same rider aboard, he has the form profile to keep winning.

Returns from a five-week freshening after a weak tenth at Funabashi, beaten over 14 lengths by Toyamano Gold at long odds after settling rearward. Her previous run was also heavy defeat when last of seven behind Smile Freyja, despite being near the top of an open market. One placing from nine track-and-distance starts is only minor support, so major improvement is required.

Returns from a five-week let-up after a convincing Funabashi win, beating Tagano Nashville by three lengths when near the top of an open market. That was a clear rebound from his fourth to Pod Shank, where he was beaten just over nine lengths and did not finish it off. With a sound track record and a prior win at 1200m, he rates as a genuine winning threat again.

Resumes after a four-month break following a long last at Funabashi, where he was beaten a long way by Salire Cima at big odds. His run before that was also well held behind Sasuke Bella after settling rearward. The track-and-distance win from a small sample is a positive, but his two runs this season were too poor to recommend strongly.

Returns off a five-week freshening in very consistent form, having been beaten a neck by Marino Lowe at Funabashi after starting odds-on. That followed a nose second to Landowska, so she has missed by tiny margins at her past two. The maiden record is the caveat, but four placings from five at this track and distance make her a strong contender.

Improved on a heavy defeat when fifth at Kawasaki over 1400m, beaten five and a half lengths by Dona Solare after being swamped late. The start prior was a long last behind Princess Summit, so the latest run was at least a step back in the right direction. Coming back in trip is the query, but this looks a workable place scenario if she holds that level.

Resumes after a four-month break having finished ninth at Funabashi, beaten over 10 lengths by Gold Stage when he settled handy and did not quicken. The better reference is his previous second to Epigenetics, where he fought on without ever looking the winner. Placed three times from seven at this track and distance, he profiles as a place hope if returning near his better form.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing eighth in a Chukyo Dirt 3yo Maiden over 1900m, beaten just over six lengths by Kitano Hightail. He had produced a similar margin the run prior over 1800m behind A Shin Live Well, making steady rather than sharp late ground. The class drop and new stable are positives, but the switch back to 1200m has to bring improvement.

Returns off a five-week let-up after finishing ninth at Funabashi, beaten over 12 lengths by Toyamano Gold when unwanted in the market. She was also well held behind Smile Freyja at her previous run, so recent form is difficult to trust. The prior track-and-trip win and light weight are positives, but she looks more a minor hope than a winning push.

Worked home fairly from a long way back at Urawa six days ago, finishing seventh and beaten just over six lengths by Terrentius at long odds. The start prior at Kawasaki was weaker, beaten over 10 lengths after failing to make headway. She carries 52kg again and is race fit, but a stronger finish is required to bridge the gap to the main chances.

Resumes after a four-month break following an eighth at Funabashi, beaten six and a half lengths by Salire Cima at big odds. Her previous third behind Wonder Dream was more encouraging, as she finished strongly and was beaten a length and a half. That gives her some minor hope, but the overall maiden record and wide draw leave her with work to do.
