Funabashi Race 11 - Race 11 - 1800
LONGING FOR YOU (1) has the most persuasive winning profile, returning from a break after consecutive Tokyo Dirt wins, the latest a three-and-a-half-length 3yo+ ALLOW success as odds-on favourite. She has won three of four overall and brings the class edge. PENDANT (4) is the clear danger if she improves second-up, with her Kawasaki win over JWANENG a strong reference despite being beaten as favourite at Mombetsu last time. JWANENG (8) has the same Kawasaki line to turn around, but her Tokyo Dirt win two back and consistent overall record keep her right in contention. CATTLEYA NOCTURNE (10) is more a knockout hope among the selections, with a reliable place record and fitter second-up, though she must bridge a gap on the PENDANT and JWANENG form from Kawasaki.

Returns from a four-month break after making it two Tokyo Dirt wins in succession, leading and drawing clear to beat Smart Spear by three and a half lengths in a 3yo+ ALLOW over 1600m. She had earlier beaten Zaafir over the same course and distance at generous odds, so the form is not a one-off. The rise to 1800m is the new element, but three wins from four starts gives her the class profile to take beating.

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing third here behind Ange Luna, beaten six and a half lengths at long odds. That was an improvement on her Morioka sixth behind Rosa Rheia, but both recent runs read more as honest than threatening. She has placed at Funabashi and at the trip, yet the distance query and lack of winning edge leave her with plenty to find.

Returns from a five-week let-up with plain recent form to overturn, having finished seventh here behind Ange Luna, beaten over 17 lengths after giving away a big start. The run prior was only ninth at Funabashi over 1200m when unwanted in the market. With no win from twelve starts and no clear excuse in the latest defeat, others bring far stronger credentials.

Returns from a five-week let-up and should improve from her Mombetsu fifth over 2000m, where she was sent out favourite but settled handy and did not quicken. Her Kawasaki win two back is the key piece of form, beating Jwaneng by a length and a half over 2100m. Back to 1800m suits on her record, and Mirai Iwata returning strengthens a genuine winning case.

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing fifth here behind Ange Luna, beaten over 12 lengths after settling rearward and making no impression. Her Urawa sixth two back was more encouraging when she picked up in the straight over 2000m, but she remains a maiden after twelve starts. The class relief helps only slightly; she has to find a much stronger finish.

Returns from a four-month break after finishing fifth at Kawasaki behind Pendant, beaten over 14 lengths, and that same line also has her behind Jwaneng. Her previous fourth at Ohi behind Hesperis was sounder when near the top of the market, and she does own two wins from two starts at Funabashi. Even so, the latest margin and 1800m query make this a demanding return.

Returns from a six-month spell in winning form, having completed an Ohi double when beating Ange Luna by just over a length. The start prior was stronger again, scoring by four lengths as favourite after travelling like the winner a long way out. Three wins and a placing from four starts is a sound base, though the absence keeps her more in the place mix than as the top pick.

Returns from a four-month break after running Pendant to a length and a half at Kawasaki over 2100m, where she was just unable to hold on. That followed a Tokyo Dirt 3yo ALLOW win over 1600m, beating Wunderbar by a length after making good late ground. She has two wins and two placings from five starts, and a return to 1800m still leaves her with a strong chance.

Returns from a three-month break after a solid Kawasaki second behind Tagano Mist over 1600m, beaten a length and a half. Two back she was a well-supported favourite when fourth to Pendant over 2100m, making ground but still beaten over 10 lengths. The 1800m record is excellent with two wins from two, so she appeals as a realistic place chance if ready fresh.

Second-up after finishing fourth at Kasamatsu behind Gokokuhojo, beaten seven lengths as an outside chance in the betting. Her Kawasaki run before a break was much weaker, beaten over 15 lengths by Pendant at huge odds after conceding a big start. The overall record is the balancing factor, with eight placings from eleven starts, making her a sound minor hope rather than a dominant threat.
