Funabashi Race 8 - Race 8 - 1200

EARTH BLUE (6) Resuming after a break. Won narrowly last start at the track. Should jump out and bowl along. Worth strong consideration. ATTRACT RUN (2) Nice effort when winning by 2 1/2L last time around here and strong performer at the trip. Unbeaten last 2 attempts and will try to take advantage of the gate. Expect to go close. MY BELIEVE (4) Ran well when 3rd last run at this venue. Does take a while to get into stride. Well placed and has solid claims. INITIATE (3) Was fighting out the finish when winning by a head last run around here. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Knockout chance in this.

Finished last at Kawasaki last start, well beaten by 23 lengths after settling rearward and giving ground in a weak run to the line. The start prior at this track was no better, beaten a long way by Komasa at long odds. He has been unplaced in all five starts in the past 12 months and must show a major reversal to trouble these.

Returns from a five-week let-up after putting together consecutive C2 wins at this track, most recently beating Last Shot by two and a half lengths as a short odds-on favourite. He had also beaten S K Cat here when dominant in betting, and his three wins and three placings from seven starts at this track and distance read strongly. With Kenji Okamura unbeaten on him, he sets the standard.

Returns from a five-week let-up after winning a COND at this track by a neck, taking a handy position and fighting hard to beat Smile Freyja at generous odds. The run prior was a second to Fluorite, albeit beaten five lengths after being unable to quicken. She has one win and two placings from eight tries around 1200m, so she profiles as a genuine place chance rather than a dominant winning hope.

Returns from a five-week freshening after running third at this track, beaten just over six lengths by Bricks Latte despite being near the top of betting. She was fifth in a COND here the run prior, beaten three and a half lengths after settling rearward. Her one win and two placings from eight starts at this track and distance give her a solid base, but she looks more likely to fill a minor spot.

Comes through a fourth at Kawasaki over 1400m, beaten eight lengths by Rouge Filia after settling rearward at generous odds. She was also back in the field at Urawa the start prior before finishing off without threatening. The return to 1200m is some query given one unplaced try at the trip, but one win and six placings from 14 starts in the past 12 months keep her among the main chances.

Returns from a six-month break after ending his last campaign with two wins at this track, the latest a neck victory over Castle Loid as a very short odds-on favourite. The start prior was far more decisive, beating Leo Soldier by eight lengths with plenty up the sleeve. With three wins and four placings from eight starts around 1200m, he has the record to run well fresh.

Produced one of his better recent efforts when third at Urawa last start, beaten two and a half lengths by Jun Fukari after not quite finishing it off. He had made some ground from well back over 1000m at this track the run before without threatening. Still a maiden after 15 starts and has only one placing from ten tries around 1200m, but the latest run puts him in the winning conversation.

Third-up now after finishing sixth at Kawasaki, beaten just over nine lengths by Rouge Filia at long odds after settling handy. Her first run this campaign was a seventh at this track, again without market support. The recent form is plain, but two wins and five placings from twelve starts at this track and distance give her some grounding for a place finish.

Finished sixth at Urawa last start, beaten just over eight lengths by Mad Speed at long odds, and there was no clear excuse supplied. The start prior at this track was weaker again, second last and beaten over 12 lengths by Bricks Latte after never looking likely. He has a past win at this track and distance, but current form leaves him with plenty to find.

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing sixth at this track, beaten eight and a half lengths by Bricks Latte when fair to the line at generous odds. Her previous fifth behind Abelia Face was also sound rather than threatening, beaten four and a half lengths at big odds. She has won at this track and distance, but recent figures suggest she must lift considerably.

Was fifth at Urawa last start, beaten just over six lengths by Mad Speed after being unwanted in the market. The run prior at this track told a similar story, with a prominent position turning into a late fade when sixth and beaten just over seven lengths. He is unplaced from 18 starts in the past 12 months, so a return to winning form looks a difficult assignment.

Ran fourth at Urawa last start, beaten five and a half lengths by Jun Fukari after settling rearward and starting unwanted in the market. She had also finished fourth at this track, beaten just over seven lengths by Bricks Latte. One win and three placings from 14 starts at this track and distance give her some place depth, but Taisei Ganar had her measure at Urawa.
