Funabashi Race 6 - Race 6 - 1500
PIGUET (6) Left nothing to chance when winning by 1 1/2L last run at Nagoya. Maintaining a perfect record the last 2 runs. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Can give this a shake. RADIANT EYE (1) Really dug deep when winning by a head last start at Sonoda and has the ideal barrier. Unbeaten this campaign with 2 wins from as many runs. Respect against this field. BABY MAYBE (11) Did well when 2nd last start at this track on a heavy surface and have to respect the form at the trip. Strong chance. KYOEI ART (2) Came in 5th last start at Kawasaki but drawn nicely. Displaying good ability since resuming from a break. Capable of a running a place.

Returns from a two-month freshening in excellent form, having won a C2 at Sonoda last start by a neck after being near the top of betting. He had been dominant at C3 level the run prior, scoring by two and a half lengths as a very short odds-on favourite. With three wins from four starts overall and three wins around 1500m, he has the record to hold a strong place in the race.

Worked from the rear when fifth behind Eclat Dot at Kawasaki last start, beaten eight lengths after being among the outsiders. His second to Quality Chocolat before that reads better on position than margin, as he was beaten a long way after starting odds-on. Still, he has two wins and two placings from nine starts and is proven at 1500m, so he remains a realistic minor-money chance.

Returns from a two-month freshening with weight relief to assist after finishing fifth in a C2 at Saga, beaten over 13 lengths when conceding a big start. Her previous run was also plain, finishing eighth behind Comme Le Vent and beaten over 17 lengths. The lighter impost helps, but with just one placing from eight starts she looks more a place hope than a winning proposition.

Has not been threatening this campaign, finishing sixth behind Eclat Dot at Kawasaki last start after settling rearward and being beaten just over eight lengths. The run prior at Hanshin Dirt was no better, with Red Fraser beating him over 12 lengths in a Mdn where he was unwanted in the market. His maiden record tempers enthusiasm, though he can sneak into exotics if the race thins out.

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing well held behind Meethaq at this track, a run that came without a clear excuse. His previous Niigata Mdn seventh was more competitive, beaten just over two lengths after working home fairly from an in-touch position. Third-up fitness helps, but he has only one placing from four around 1500m and must rebound to his better figure to justify his claims.

Returns from a five-week let-up in winning form after beating Stradone by a length and a half at Nagoya as the odds-on favourite. He was even stronger the start prior, putting four lengths on Sylphe at the same venue after being near the top of betting. Two wins from two starts at this distance is a powerful platform, and with a leading local rider aboard he rates as a serious winning chance.

Dropped out badly behind Eclat Dot at Kawasaki last start, finishing second last and beaten a long way after being among the outsiders. Her previous third behind Quality Chocolat was also a distant result despite the placing, and the market gave little encouragement there either. Fourth-up fitness is some help, but she has to produce a far stronger finish to trouble these.

Returns from a three-month break after ending the last campaign with a seventh at this track, beaten over 20 lengths behind Pod Shank at long odds. Her earlier seventh at this venue was better, beaten five lengths after sticking on without ever looking a winning hope. She has placed twice from seven starts and once from six at this track, but others bring stronger current credentials.

Kept working without ever looking a winning hope when fifth behind Sunrise Hunter at Urawa last start, beaten just over seven lengths. Two back at Niigata he was tenth in a Mdn, beaten just under five lengths at long odds after again having the job ahead. He is unplaced from ten starts overall, so a minor placing would be a respectable outcome from this profile.

Was favourite at Urawa last start but could only finish fifth behind Meiner Meteora, beaten just over six lengths after failing to finish it off. He had been third to Willy's Rock at the same venue before that, though beaten nine lengths and lacking the dash to trouble the winner. With no wins from 16 starts and just two placings around 1500m, he profiles as a place chance at best.

Returns from a five-week let-up off a strong second at this track, beaten three lengths by Meethaq after starting an outside chance in the betting. That followed a Nagoya COND win over this trip, where she led and beat Bebek Pepper by a length. Her 1500m record is the key, with two wins and one placing from four attempts, and that proven profile makes her the clear horse to beat.
