Funabashi Race 2 - Race 2 - 1200
GRAND LUCIUS (5) Tidy run when 3rd last start at this venue and having second race start. Won't be far away. KIMITO HIKARE (10) Looked good when 3rd last time at Kanazawa. Might be ridden for luck. Appears well in this. STEEL BEAT (8) Finished 6th last run at the track. Should bounce back. No shock to see a win. PRECIOUS JACK (6) Honest race when 3rd last run here and was a debutant last start. Has early speed and positions nicely. Has claims.

Made a sound debut at Urawa over 800m, finishing third and beaten two lengths after being run down late, but the follow-up was a plain eighth over 1400m behind Sasshi Yu when at long odds. He is third-up and drawn to use barrier one, though 1200m is new territory. A return to that debut sharpness would keep him in the minor-money mix.

Has been well held in both recent Urawa runs, finishing seventh behind Wild Uluru then ninth behind Sasshi Yu when beaten over 11 lengths at long odds. She was close enough last start before fading, which leaves the form looking thin, and 1200m is untried. Race fitness is in her favour, but she has to produce a far stronger finish to threaten.

Resumed at Urawa with a seventh over 1400m, beaten over 10 lengths after having the job ahead and making no real headway. Her previous run was a second at Urawa, beaten three lengths, so there is at least a better piece of form in the profile. Second-up fitness can help, but she must recapture that placing form quickly to be a factor.

Returns after five weeks following a disappointing ninth at this track, beaten over 17 lengths by Initiation after giving away a big start and never entering the race. His debut third came in a small field and he has placed once from two starts at both this track and distance, but the latest run is hard to ignore. He has to lift sharply from that effort.

Returns after five weeks having placed on debut at this track over 1000m, albeit beaten a long way by Make Tiara in a six-runner field. He settled back and passed a few late, so there was some education value in the run, but the rise to 1200m is still untested. Open to natural improvement second-up and can be considered for exotics.

Returns after five weeks from a debut third at this track over 1000m, where she led and held a margin before weakening to be beaten eight lengths by Noble Motion. That run showed early speed but also exposed a finishing query, and she now tries 1200m for the first time. She can be fitter, but the closing effort has to improve noticeably.

Improved to finish fifth at Urawa last start, beaten just over eight lengths by Summer End, and she gets useful weight relief now with 51kg. The previous run at this track was plain after conceding a huge start, and she is yet to place from five starts, but this looks a suitable chance for her to convert the better recent rating into a breakthrough result.

Returns after five weeks following a sixth at this track behind Initiation, beaten over 11 lengths after racing just off the speed and only battling. He had also been safely held when fifth over 1500m the run prior, though the market has respected him in open betting at both starts. On exposed form he is more a place hope than a winning play.

Returns after five weeks in clearly better order after running second at this track, beaten two and a half lengths by Vanilla Beans despite being unwanted in the market. That was a marked lift from her debut sixth behind True Target, where she was well beaten after settling too far back. Third-up and already placed at this distance, she has genuine winning claims.

Returns after six weeks with the most consistent recent form in the field, having finished third at Kanazawa at her past two starts, most recently beaten three lengths by Ruby Ocean. She owns one win and three places from nine starts and comes from a leading local yard, though her one 1200m attempt was unplaced. Her reliability keeps her firmly in the winning conversation.
