Funabashi Race 5 - Race 5 - 1200
HIGH SPEED BIO (4) First up after a break of 30 weeks. Was fighting out the finish when winning last run here and ideal distance as proven previously. Promising career start. Winning appeal. B B PRIMERO (1) Landed the spoils when winning by 1L last time at this track and has the ideal draw. Won't be far away during the run. Winning hope. MERCI COURIR (3) Finished 4th last start at Kawasaki. Giving another go here. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. One of the hopes. SMILE PLUS (7) Looked good when 2nd last run here. Cracking each way value.

Returns from a one-month let-up after resuming with a determined win at this track, beating Smile Plus by a length when near the top of betting. That followed another one-length win at this venue when the well-supported favourite, and her two wins and one placing from four starts at this track and distance read well. Drawn to hold a handy spot, she looks the one they have to beat.

Finished eighth at Urawa last start, beaten over 10 lengths by M T Raika after having the job ahead and making no headway. The start prior was no better at this track in COND grade, finishing ninth and beaten over 16 lengths at big odds. He has placed once from eight tries around this trip, but the recent form leaves him with a sizeable task.

Kept working when fourth at Kawasaki last start, though the official margin was nine lengths behind Riko Typhon. His better reference is the Urawa third two back in COND company, beaten just over a length after being unwanted in the market. He has not raced around 1200m before, but a solid early career record and Mai Fukuhara back on give him genuine place claims.

Returns from a lengthy eight-month spell after ending last campaign with a half-length win at this track, finishing over the top of Derma Nekodamashi as a short odds-on favourite. He was also third here the start prior behind Spirit Surge, beaten just over two lengths. With three wins and one placing from four starts around 1200m, his class is evident if forward enough fresh.

Improved to finish fifth at Urawa last start, beaten just under six lengths by M T Raika, but he was still at long odds and that came after a last placing at Kawasaki when well beaten by 27 lengths. His broader profile is modest, with one win and two places from 24 starts overall, and he must lift again to trouble the main chances.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing sixth at this track in COND grade, beaten over 12 lengths when swamped after holding a narrow lead. He had been well-supported favourite here the start prior but only managed fifth, beaten just over five lengths. The class drop gives him some help, and his past 12 months read respectably, but he profiles more as a place hope.

Returns from a one-month let-up after a sound second at this track, beaten a length by B B Primero when an outside chance in betting. She had earlier worked home fairly here from a long way back, and her one win and three places from nine starts at this track and distance support the set-up. With weight relief now, she is the main danger if she can bridge that margin.

Finished ninth at Urawa last start, beaten over 10 lengths by M T Raika after failing to make headway. The start prior was weaker again, finishing last over 1400m at Urawa and beaten over 16 lengths at big odds. She has won at this track and distance, but the current form pattern is too plain to recommend with confidence.

Finished tenth at Urawa last start, beaten five lengths by Comme D'Habitude after conceding a huge start and never getting into the race. She was also eighth at this track in COND grade two runs ago, beaten over 13 lengths at big odds. A previous win at this track and distance is a positive, but her recent figures make her hard to support.
