Funabashi Race 8 - Race 8 - 1600

MARI FACE (4) Had a break from racing and returns to competition. Ran 2nd last time at this track and rising in trip. Should muster plenty of early toe. Winnable race. MEISHO FUSO (1) Right in the mix last time at Urawa and drawn beautifully. Should be going forward early. Very competitive this campaign but back to a shorter trip. Will give a big sight. GOLD BREEDER (9) Came in 6th last run at the track. Producing consistent results since resuming from a spell. Looks to be value. BALANCE THE BOOKS (14) Finished 4th last run at the track. Strong each way bet.

Went within a neck of Kitaino Hoshi at Urawa last start in a C1C2 over 2000m, having been near the top of an open market and just missing in the final stride. The start prior was plain when eighth and beaten over 13 lengths, but his overall profile is much stronger than that one run. Ryo Novata is back aboard, and with three wins from nine on him, he has the right credentials to be a major player.

Has been finishing around the mark without breaking through, most recently sixth at Urawa over 1400m when beaten just over three lengths after settling rearward. The start prior was less encouraging, finishing sixth again but beaten seven and a half lengths after being kept safe in betting. Placed twice at around this trip, yet the maiden record from 15 starts leaves him with plenty to prove.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing sixth at this track, beaten over 12 lengths by Kitasan Riser at big odds. His previous run was also well held, though he did work home fairly after conceding a big start. The saving points are his track-and-trip record and the return of Ryo Kosugi, who has four wins on him, so he is more a place prospect than a win push.

Returns from a lengthy spell with an excellent record of two wins and two seconds from four starts, all at this track. She was last seen finishing second in a COND over 1200m as a short odds-on favourite, beaten a length and a half by Quetzal Azul after working home evenly. The untried 1600m is the main query, but her consistency and proven local form make her a serious chance fresh.

Has been well beaten in all three runs this campaign, most recently ninth in a B3C1 at Urawa over 2000m when beaten over 13 lengths after conceding a huge start. The run prior was no better at this track, finishing eighth by a similar margin after being well-supported favourite. The setup may be kinder, but his recent form gives little reason to push his case.

Returns from a five-month break after a heavy defeat in an ALLOW at Hanshin Dirt, finishing 14th and beaten over 19 lengths at long odds. The start prior was another plain run when second last, but her older form reads better for this venue and distance. She has two wins and seven placings from 11 runs around 1600m, and Norifumi Mikamoto's record on her gives her a genuine place hope.

Resumes after three months off and brings metropolitan Mdn form from Chukyo Dirt that should carry weight in this line-up. His latest sixth behind Higgs Boson was only fair, but the previous fourth behind B B Synergy, beaten just under two lengths, reads well enough for this. He is still a maiden and tries 1600m for the first time, yet the class setup and recent rating make him the top winning chance.

Was fair rather than threatening at Urawa last start, finishing fifth over 1400m and beaten just over three lengths after settling rearward at generous odds. His start prior at this track was weaker, beaten nine and a half lengths after never looking likely. A return to 1600m is suitable on his record, but he will have to produce more than his latest two efforts to trouble the main hopes.

Back after five weeks since finishing sixth at this track, beaten seven and a half lengths by Top Ranker after having too much to do but not giving it away. His start prior was much better, closing strongly for second behind Bright Beginning at this venue when an outsider. Proven at this track and distance and well paired with Aoi Shinoya, he profiles as a genuine place chance.

Has finished fifth at her past two runs, the latest at Urawa over 2000m when beaten seven and a half lengths after settling rearward. Two back at this track she was a long way off Kitasan Riser but did finish off fairly from well back. Her overall record gives her some place substance, although being unplaced from three attempts at this track and distance tempers the winning appeal.

Was disappointing at Urawa last start, finishing last over 2000m and beaten over 13 lengths after making no impression despite being near the top of betting. That came after a decisive C2 win at the same venue, where she beat Yumede Aetara by three lengths with plenty in reserve. Weight relief helps, but she must rebound sharply to turn that profile into more than an outside chance.

Returns from a ten-month break after two very poor runs, the latest a ninth at this track when beaten over 10 lengths after giving away a big start. Before that she was tailed off at Kanazawa as an odds-on favourite, which is hard to ignore. She has won around 1600m and carries a light weight, but the long absence and recent race form make this a demanding return.

Worked home fairly from well back when ninth at Urawa last start, but he was still beaten nine and a half lengths at big odds. His run prior was much more competitive, getting into third at this track after being unwanted in the market. The veteran has won twice at the distance, yet he has to reproduce that better local effort to be any sort of factor.

Returns from a five-week freshening after making late ground for fourth at this track behind Kitasan Riser, although the nine and a half length margin keeps the run in perspective. The start prior was stronger, winning a C2 here from Fire Waltz as favourite after letting down well in a tight finish. With a win from three at this track and distance, he remains a strong winning hope.
