Funabashi Race 7 - Race 7 - 1500
MAKE TIARA (13) Blitzed its rivals when winning by a distance last run around here and having second career run. Has the early speed to burn across from the wide gate. Can win this. MAPLE SHIP (4) Really dug deep when winning by 1/2L last run at Urawa and showing consistent performance in races. Tracking very well this preparation. Prefers to settle towards the tail. This field suits. WASSHOI (2) Finished on top by 2 1/2L last start around here and fitter for debut run. Jockey Takayuki Yano and trainer Hayashi Gen command respect as a team. Will be around the mark at odds. VENERABLE SUMMER (9) Was competitive when 2nd last time at the track and putting a tidy record together. Exhibiting good form this campaign and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Definite claims.

Has been safely held at her past two starts, finishing seventh at Urawa last start when beaten over 12 lengths at big odds after always having the job ahead. She was also tenth at this venue the run prior, beaten over 17 lengths, so the recent form reads plainly despite previous success at this track. Weight relief helps, but three unplaced tries around 1500m leave her with plenty to turn around.

Returns after five weeks following an excellent debut win at this track and distance, where he let down quickly and beat Bel Hawk Xander by two and a half lengths. He was near the top of an open market there, so the performance carried substance as well as style. With the winning rider back and a proven 1500m profile already established, he has the right credentials to press the favourite hard.

Finished ninth behind Maple Ship at Urawa last start, beaten over 10 lengths after settling a long way back and making no impression. The start prior was no better, finishing second last at this venue when well held at long odds. He gets some weight relief and has placed once at this track, but four unplaced attempts around 1500m point to a difficult assignment.

Comes off a determined Urawa win, scoring by half a length from Taiyo Bond after being sent out favourite. That followed a fifth at this venue when he kept finding despite never looking the winner, and his overall record of one win and one placing from three starts leaves scope for further improvement. The 1500m record is not yet convincing, but he is in the right form to be a serious player.

Has improved through this campaign, finishing fourth at this venue before a third at Urawa last start when beaten six lengths after tracking the speed and working home evenly. She has already won at this track and the winning rider returns, while the stable has a strong record at the venue. The form still has to lift to beat the main hopes, but she profiles as a genuine place contender.

Returns after three months off with stronger exposed formlines than many of these, having finished tenth in Open grade at Sapporo when beaten just over five lengths at big odds. Her previous Mombetsu run was plain, but she has one win from three starts and rates highly across the past 12 months. With Masakazu Kawashima's stable prominent at this track, she can make a bold first-up showing.

Was sixth at Urawa last start, beaten over 11 lengths after conceding a big start, and the same pattern was evident when fifth at this venue the run prior. She has won at this track and gets a leading local jockey, but three unplaced runs at this track and distance are hard to overlook. A sharper early position and much stronger finish are required to threaten.

Returns after five weeks off a sound second at this track, beaten a length and a half by Stealth Hunter after being kept safe near the top of betting. The run prior was a dominant 1200m win at this venue, beating Palm Street by nine lengths after being backed into very short odds-on territory. The first try around 1500m is the question, but his recent track form keeps him in the place mix.

Returns after five weeks since a solid second at this track, beaten a length and a half by Fleur Magique after fighting hard and only conceding late. She had earlier run third at Mombetsu from a more difficult position, so the recent profile is consistent. With one win and three placings from five starts, including a placing at the distance, she looks a reliable minor-money chance.

Has not come on this campaign, finishing eighth at this venue over 1200m before a well-held ninth at Kawasaki last start when unwanted in the market. She has won at this track and is now third-up, but both recent performances lacked the finish required for a race of this shape. A return to her debut-level form would be required before she could be considered a major threat.

Ran fourth behind Maple Ship at Urawa last start, beaten six lengths after settling back, which was an improvement on the nine-and-a-half-length fifth at this venue the run prior. He has placed once from three starts at this track and is still lightly raced, but remains a maiden after four runs. The latest effort gives him some place hope, though others bring sharper winning form.

Returns after six months off having won his only start at this track, beating Fly The Flag by two lengths as one of the outsiders. That debut win was strong through the line and came over this track and distance, so the core form fits the race well. The long break asks for some caution, but a one-from-one profile and winning rider back make him a legitimate place chance.

Returns after five weeks following a commanding debut win at this track, where she led and cleared out to beat Thunder Eye by a long way as a prohibitive odds-on favourite. The move from 1000m to 1500m is the new challenge, but the manner of that win, the returning rider and Masakazu Kawashima's strong track record all point the right way. She sets a high standard and can go on with it.

Was sent out an odds-on favourite at Urawa last start and finished second, beaten four lengths by Sasshi Yu after only battling on. That was a clear improvement on his previous sixth at this venue, where he conceded a big start and was never in the race. His overall record includes several placings, but the beaten-favourite profile makes him a risky proposition against stronger winning hopes.
