Funabashi Race 9 - Race 9 - 1200

MEL DORE (4) Strong performance to win by 1 1/2L last time here and have to respect the form at this trip. Unbeaten last 2 attempts. Displays good tactical speed. This suits. KEN BLENHEIM (6) Ran 7th last run at Urawa. Looking for an improved run. Kenichi Shigeta stable are in good form of late. Underrated. POD BELLO (3) Finished 4th last time at the track. Trifectas chance. BRIGHTIA BUENA (9) Lacklustre showing when 12th last start at Kawasaki but returning to an increased distance. Has the early speed to burn across from the wide alley. Place wouldn't shock.

Comments

Has been well held at both runs this campaign, finishing tenth at Urawa last start when beaten just over eight lengths after settling rearward and making no late impression. The start prior was similar, beaten just over seven lengths at long odds after conceding a big start. Three tries around 1200m have produced one placing, so he will have to find a much sharper finish to trouble these.

Comments

Worked home soundly when fifth in a B3C1 over 1400m at Urawa last start, though the margin was still seven lengths and he was at long odds. His previous sixth at this venue was plain, but the class drop helps and he has placed three times from eight starts at this track and distance. Profiles as a more reliable place hope than a strong winning proposition.

Comments

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing fourth at this track, beaten six lengths, when he lacked the required turn of foot. The run prior in C1 grade was better than the finishing spot suggests, as he made ground late after being near the top of betting. With one win and four places from eleven starts at this track and distance, he remains a genuine minor hope.

Resumes off a one-month freshening after completing back-to-back C1 wins at this track, most recently beating Wonder Glee by a length and a half as favourite. She had also beaten the same runner by a head when odds-on, showing she can produce under market pressure. Four wins and two places from six starts at this track and distance make her the horse they must beat.

Has offered little in two recent runs, finishing 11th at Kawasaki last start when beaten over 13 lengths after being unable to make ground. He was second last at this venue over 1000m the start prior, again making no late impression at big odds. The track-and-distance record gives a small historical pointer, but current form leaves him with plenty to prove.

Battled on when seventh at Urawa last start, beaten five and a half lengths after being near the top of an open market. His fourth in B3C1 company there two back came as a well-supported favourite, so the market has kept respecting him despite the margins. The first try around 1200m is the query, but his three wins and three places from twelve starts make him a serious chance.

Returned with a strong second at Kawasaki, beaten a nose over 1500m after being pipped right on the post at big odds. She is second-up now and has good supporting credentials, including one win and two places from three starts at this track and two wins with Ryo Novata aboard. Back to 1200m, where she has placed twice, she looks a genuine winning danger.

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing eighth at this track, beaten just over nine lengths, where he worked home only evenly. That followed a disappointing second-last as favourite, beaten over 12 lengths after getting too far back to make an impact. He has won at 1200m and is race fit, but the recent margins keep him in the place bracket rather than higher.

Comments

Was last at Kawasaki over 900m last start, beaten over 13 lengths after settling rearward and never looking likely. Her previous fourth at this track over 1000m was more encouraging, as she made solid inroads from well back, and she has won at this track and distance. Even with 51kg, she must rediscover that earlier finishing effort to be competitive.

Improved sharply when third at Urawa last start, beaten just over three lengths at long odds, and that form has relevance because he beat Ken Blenheim there. The concern is the run before, when second last at this venue and never in the picture. Four wins and six places from 32 starts at this track and distance help, but he still has to prove the latest effort was no one-off.

Comments

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing last at this track, beaten over 14 lengths, when he sat close enough but offered little at the business end. His previous Sapporo Dirt run in ALLOW grade was also a heavy defeat, beaten a long way after being unwanted in the market. Unplaced in all six starts at this distance, he faces a demanding task.
