Funabashi Race 7 - Race 7 - 1500
BRAVE PROUD (7) brings the strongest exposed profile, with a six-length debut win at Funabashi followed by a second to Buridaikon over this track and distance when sent out favourite. He was beaten six lengths there, but remains proven at the course and trip and has yet to miss a place. REVIENDRA (6) is the main threat after working over the top to win by a length and a half at Mombetsu over 1700m; the drop back to 1500m is the one query, though that latest win gives him solid winning form. TSUITE YUKITAI (3) put away Au Dela by four lengths here over 1200m and has scope from just two starts, but the rise to 1500m has to be handled. NANIWANO BENKEI (2) was only fair when third behind Buridaikon, yet his seven-length debut win from Iris Out shows enough ability to keep him in the wider winning mix.

Worked home from an impossible position when fourth to Black Lizard at Kawasaki last start, though the margin was still ten lengths and he was again at long odds. His prior Funabashi run was plain, finishing ninth to Buridaikon and beaten over 17 lengths after failing to quicken. Class relief and the winning rider returning help, but he must lift sharply.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing third behind Buridaikon at Funabashi, beaten eight and a half lengths, where he battled on without threatening. His debut win here over 1200m was much sharper, scoring by seven lengths as odds-on favourite from Iris Out. With a win and a placing from two starts, he profiles as a genuine place hope if he recaptures that first-run spark.

Returns from a five-week freshening after putting Au Dela away by four lengths at Funabashi over 1200m, travelling into the race well and finishing it quickly. He was also second on debut behind Tokushi Marilyn, so the two-start record is sound. The rise to 1500m is the main test, but his early form is good enough to make him a live minor-winning hope.

Finished seventh to Loose Aggressive at Kawasaki last start, beaten over 12 lengths at big odds after settling rearward, and there was no obvious excuse. The run prior was a fourth behind Buridaikon at Funabashi, beaten nine lengths without quickening. Class relief and the rider switch offer some help, but his 1500m record leaves him hard to support strongly.

Returns from a five-week freshening after making a successful debut at Funabashi, leading and beating Astro Nova by six lengths as a well-supported favourite. That win came at this track and distance, giving him a clear suitability tick second-up. With only one race start, the depth of the form is still to be tested, but he has earned genuine top-three respect.

Returns from a five-week freshening after winning at Mombetsu over 1700m, working home over the top to beat Keiki Kane by a length and a half. That was a sharp turnaround from his second-last there two back, when he dropped out and was beaten over 15 lengths. The shorter 1500m asks a question, but the latest win gives him one of the stronger last-start form lines in this field.

Returns from a five-week freshening with the best overall profile, having won on debut at Funabashi by six lengths from Mystery Bounty before running second to Buridaikon over this track and distance. He was beaten as favourite there and lacked the same turn of foot, but he remains one win and one placing from two starts at both the track and trip. Clear chance to bounce back strongly.

Returns from a five-week freshening after a very poor Funabashi run over 1200m, finishing last to Tsuite Yukitai and beaten out of sight when unwanted in the market. His previous third behind Lala Blossom was better, but still six lengths away. The 51kg weight and class drop are positives, though the rise to 1500m adds another hurdle.

Resumes after two months off following a second to Premium Team at Funabashi, beaten nine lengths in a small field after working home evenly. His debut second behind Farewell Bell was stronger, beaten a length and a half over 1200m, and he has placed in both starts at this track. The consistency is noted, but he has to find more depth to trouble these.
