Funabashi Race 5 - Race 5 - 1200
ATTRACT RUN (6) is the horse to beat after returning to winning form at Funabashi, where he held on as a dominant odds-on favourite and beat S K Cat by just under a length. His record at this track and distance is a strong anchor, and the Kenji Okamura pairing has been faultless from limited chances. LOOKS LIKE YOU (3) is the main danger on raw form, having won a 3yo+ C1 at Funabashi by four lengths before the long absence, and his track-and-trip record gives him real substance if ready. LAST SHOT (7) also resumes with the right credentials, especially his two wins and two placings from five runs over this course and distance, though his latest seventh behind Pod Beau has to be improved upon. MOONLIGHT DAY (1) has been consistent around Kawasaki and closed off strongly last start, but the drop from 1400m to 1200m leaves her looking more a solid place hope than the strongest winning option.

Closed strongly from a hopeless position when fourth at Kawasaki over 1400m last start, beaten six lengths by Oriko Paradise after being near the top of an open market. She had also been sound when third there, beaten just over two lengths by Vip Jesse. The drop back to 1200m is the query, but her recent form is solid enough to keep her in the minor-money discussion.

Led to the turn at Kawasaki over 900m last start but was swamped late and finished ninth, beaten five and a half lengths at generous odds. The prior third over the same trip was more competitive, yet she was still never a real threat to Loughnashade. Still a maiden after 27 starts and unplaced in three Funabashi runs, so a clear lift is required.

Returns from a lengthy spell after putting together two strong Funabashi wins, the latest in 3yo+ C1 company when sent out favourite and beating Maruhiro Knight by four lengths. He had scored by two and a half lengths here the start before, so the form line is compelling. The absence is the obvious variable, but two wins and two placings from five starts at this track and distance make him a serious threat.

Improved sharply when second at Kawasaki over 900m last start, beaten just under a length by Ange Grace after travelling well and finishing strongly. The start prior he was well back and only made late ground when eighth behind Cloudy Looks. He has been reliable this season, and while the first go at this trip and track asks a question, he is capable of holding a place.

Returns from a five-month break after finishing last over 1600m at Funabashi, where she led before dropping out and was well beaten at big odds. The start prior was also plain, beaten over 13 lengths by Symboli Light. She does come back to a winning track-and-distance profile with 51kg, but recent form says she has to improve sharply to threaten.

Returns from a five-week let-up after winning at Funabashi, holding off S K Cat by just under a length as a dominant odds-on favourite. He had been beaten just under a length by Just Kingdom the run prior, so the recent form is rock solid. Two wins and three placings from six starts at this track and distance, plus an unbeaten record with Kenji Okamura, make him the one they have to beat.

Returns from a four-month break with a strong overall profile, despite finishing seventh here last start when beaten just over eight lengths by Pod Beau. The run before was a narrow Funabashi win over Abelia Face, and his two wins and two placings from five starts at this track and distance read well. With Masashige Honda back on, he has the credentials to rebound strongly.

Back after five weeks since finishing last at Funabashi, beaten over 14 lengths by Just Kingdom when unwanted in the market. His previous run was no better, last in a six-horse field and beaten over 15 lengths by Abelia Face. The class drop offers some relief, but he is unplaced in eight starts at this track and distance and looks up against it.

Freshened for five weeks after finishing fourth at Funabashi, beaten six lengths by Just Kingdom at big odds. Two back he was eighth over 1500m behind Jesco after settling back and making no late impression. The class drop and rider switch help on paper, but he has to find a stronger finish to trouble the main chances.

Resumes off a five-week let-up after finishing fourth at Funabashi, beaten just under six lengths by Viken when making late ground from well back. She had won here the start before, getting past Ortu Solis in a tight finish, and her track-and-distance record is respectable. Even so, the latest margin leaves her needing improvement against the stronger profiles.

Comes in on a quick turnaround after finishing fifth at Urawa over 1500m, beaten a length and a half by Infanta after leading and working home evenly. Her previous Funabashi run was much weaker, finishing seventh and beaten eight and a half lengths by Viken. The back in trip angle and two wins this season keep her in the place conversation.
