Funabashi Race 9 - Race 9 - 1200

LLEVADA (12) is the top pick with a sharper set-up than her recent figures suggest. She was beaten three lengths in a 3yo+ B3 at Kasamatsu last start after settling rearward, and the return to 1200m is significant given she is one from one at the distance. VIKEN (3) brings the most convincing winning form, having scored by two and a half lengths in a 3yo+ C2 here as a well-supported favourite, and his Funabashi 1200m record makes him a major danger. NOBLE WHISPER (8) has been fair rather than brilliant at Kawasaki, but the class drop and consistent recent efforts keep her right in the contest. POD BEAU (10) missed by a nose here last start and has an excellent track-and-distance record, though he has to convert another strong profile into a win.

Returns from a four-month break after winning by a head over this track and distance, beating Miyabi Mortar when near the top of betting. That followed a third here behind Peter Rise where he settled rearward and was beaten just over four lengths. Two wins and two places from nine Funabashi 1200m starts give him a genuine base, and he profiles as a solid place hope fresh.

Returns after five weeks following a sound fourth at Funabashi, beaten a length and a half by Mel Dore at big odds after picking up well late. The run prior was a distant third behind A Shin Carrots when unwanted in the market, so he has been honest without looking sharp enough to dominate. The class drop helps, and he remains a realistic minor-money chance.

Returns after five weeks following an authoritative Funabashi win in a 3yo+ C2, beating Cheerful Girl by two and a half lengths as a well-supported favourite. He had disappointed as odds-on favourite two back, but that latest effort was a strong response. With three wins and five places from eleven starts at this track and distance, he has the right profile to go close again.

Made some late ground at Kawasaki last start but was still seventh, beaten just over five lengths by Ari Happy after conceding a big start. His previous run was also plain, finishing ninth behind Dateotoko when he failed to quicken. The class drop is some help, yet coming back in trip demands a sharper response than he has shown recently.

Kept finding to finish third at Kawasaki over 900m last start, beaten just over two lengths by Candy Bouquet at long odds. That followed a second in a 3yo COND at Funabashi, so his recent form has been competitive. The rise to 1200m is the query, but his record with Akira Harita and current consistency keep him in the place mix.

Finished last at Kawasaki last start, beaten over 19 lengths by Dantalion after settling a long way back and making no impact. He was also last at Funabashi the run prior, beaten over 14 lengths by Mel Dore and unwanted in the market. Unplaced in eight starts at this track and distance, he has a lot to turn around.

Returns after five weeks off a better second at Funabashi, beaten two and a half lengths by Abelia Face after working home evenly at generous odds. The concern is his previous run, where he finished last behind Best Position after offering little when it mattered. Proven at this track and distance, but he has to repeat the latest rather than the flat effort two back.

Worked home fairly for fourth at Kawasaki last start, beaten just over five lengths by Dantalion at long odds. Two back she was fifth behind Takka Valiant, beaten three and a half lengths, so the form has been steady rather than eye-catching. The class drop gives her a stronger platform, and she appeals as a genuine winning chance if the shorter trip suits.

Returns after five weeks following an eighth at Funabashi, beaten just over eight lengths by Mel Dore after coming under pressure late. She was also safely held two back when fifth to A Shin Dazzle, beaten nine and a half lengths. Her track-and-distance record is sound, but recent margins make it hard to push her beyond an improvement hope.

Returns after five weeks following a narrow Funabashi second, beaten a nose by Daisen Sirius after making up many lengths in the straight. He was below his best as odds-on favourite two back, but his overall record is strong, including four wins and three places from nine starts at this track and distance. His consistency gives him strong claims again.

Returns after five weeks having run fifth at Funabashi, beaten three and a half lengths by Mel Dore when unwanted in the market. That was a clear improvement on being beaten out of sight here two back after leading, but it still falls short of what is required. His track-and-distance record is strong historically, though current form leaves him with ground to make up.

Returns after five weeks with a strong set-up back to 1200m after finishing fourth in a 3yo+ B3 at Kasamatsu, beaten three lengths by Chuwa Daio when near the top of betting. Her previous 3yo+ ALLOW run over 1700m was too bad to use as a guide, but this trip is far more suitable and she has won her only start at the distance. The class and distance profile make her the one to beat.
