Funabashi Race 9 - Race 9 - 1200
SORGENTE PO (3) Has multiple wins when resuming. Found another gear when winning by a margin of 5L last start at this track and will be well suited at the distance. Deserves a win. ISSHIN FURAN (10) Ran 6th last run at this track. Can win at odds. MARCELL TESORO (1) Ran 4th last start at Urawa but gets the perfect alley. Should come to hand quickly. Underrated. REY DEL MAR (9) Below expectations when 10th last start at Kawasaki but returns to more ground. Can go through the gears. One to watch closely and a legitimate knockout hope.

Made late ground from well back when fourth at Urawa last start, beaten four lengths by Black X after being sent out favourite. He had also been fourth in a B3 over 1600m at Kawasaki, beaten two and a half lengths as a short odds-on favourite, so the market has kept finding him. The first look at 1200m is the query, but second-up from barrier 1 he has the right profile to take a strong hand.

The class drop gives her a more appealing set-up after two fair Urawa runs over 1500m, most recently sixth in B3 grade when beaten just over four lengths at generous odds. Her overall record is much stronger than those recent finishes, with seven wins and seven places from 28 starts. The 1200m record is a concern, but race fitness and the easier assignment keep her firmly in the winning discussion.

Returns from a lengthy spell after three months off and brings the standout recent record, having won her past three starts. She was dominant in a B3 at this track last start, beating Piko Dial by five lengths as a prohibitive odds-on favourite, after an eight-length C1 win at this venue. Four wins and one place from six starts at this track and distance, plus Norifumi Mikamoto back aboard, make her the one they have to beat.

Returns from a five-week let-up after a strong win at this track, coming from off the speed to beat Trapezium by two and a half lengths in B3 company despite being unwanted in the market. That was a clear step forward from her fourth to Namura Perle the run prior. She is proven at this track and distance, but on this assessment she still has to repeat that peak to trouble the main chances.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing ninth at this track, beaten just under nine lengths by Village Steel when unable to make any headway. She had also been safely held behind Sorgente Po two runs back, and that recent line is hard to ignore. Weight relief and a previous win at this venue offer minor positives, but she will have to find a far sharper finish.

Worked home fairly from a long way back when seventh at Urawa last start, beaten just over seven lengths by Black X at big odds. His better reference is the start prior, when second to Brave Ruler over 1400m and beaten a length and a half despite again being unwanted in betting. First try at around 1200m is the main unknown, but his recent placing profile makes him a genuine minor hope.

Returns from a five-week let-up after a better fourth at this track, beaten two and a half lengths by Tatsuno King O at long odds. That was an improvement on his previous B3 run, where he was second last and beaten over 12 lengths after offering little. Three wins and six places from 19 starts at this track and distance help, but he must hold the latest form to be competitive.

Conceded a huge start and was never in the race when ninth at Urawa last start, beaten just over eight lengths by Black X. His previous fifth at this track behind Village Steel was sounder without being threatening, and he again faces a distance profile that shows two placings from eight tries around 1200m without a win. Kenji Okamura returning helps, but he looks more a place chance than a win play.

Has been well beaten in two runs this campaign, finishing tenth at Kawasaki over 900m last start when unwanted in the market and beaten nine and a half lengths by La La Avril. He was also beaten over 12 lengths in B2 company at this track the run prior. His three wins and one place from six starts at this track and distance are a genuine positive, but recent form leaves him with plenty to repair.

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing sixth at this track, beaten just under seven lengths by Piko Dial when near the top of an open market. She had been fourth here the start prior, beaten just over four lengths by Deserve, so her form is honest without being sharp. Two wins and four places from eleven starts in the past 12 months support place claims, provided she finishes off better.
