Funabashi Race 10 - Race 10 - 1600

ALVAREZ (14) Ran 4th last run at Urawa. Happy to overlook that run. Jockey Aoi Shinoya consistently rides well for this stable. Well placed and has solid claims. YAGIRI IBIS (6) Made no mistakes when winning by 3L last start around here. Will be positive in the run early. Akira Harita is a suitable booking. Among better hopes. IRIE'S PACHIRA (10) Was competitive when 2nd last start around here. Been in the money 3 from 3 attempts this preparation. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. TAISEI VAINQUEUR (9) Ran 4th last start at Urawa. Must respect.

Comments

Set to peak third-up after finishing fifth in a B2B3 over 2000m at Kawasaki, beaten just under five lengths after settling rearward in a race where he was near the top of an open market. The start prior was sound, running third at this track in a COND and beaten three lengths at big odds. Back to 1600m is the query, but the softer grade and barrier one keep him right in the winning discussion.

Comments

Returns after five weeks with a strong track-and-distance profile, having won five and placed twice from 14 starts at this course and trip. The recent form is plain, including a fifth at this track in B1B2 when unwanted in the market and beaten six and a half lengths, after a fading sixth here. A class drop and Takayuki Yano help him, and his best figures make him a live winning chance.

Comments

Has been safely held at both runs this campaign, most recently eighth at Kawasaki over 1400m when beaten seven and a half lengths at big odds. He was also sixth behind Yagiri Ibis at this track before that and did not quicken after settling handy. The return to 1600m suits and his overall record is sound, but recent form leaves him looking more a place hope than a win play.

Comments

Returns after five weeks following a poor second-last at this track when finished well held behind Yagiri Ibis. Her previous run here was only fair, running seventh and beaten just under six lengths after sitting in touch without threatening. A track-and-distance win and Yuki Yamanaka's record on her are positives, but she has to lift sharply on what she showed first-up.

Went close at Urawa last start, finishing second to Original Pattern and beaten just under a length after picking up strongly at long odds. That was a better effort than her fourth at this track in B1B2 company, where she was unwanted in the market and did not quicken. With a solid record around 1600m and a good association with Ryouma Kimatsuka, she profiles as a genuine place chance.

Returns after five weeks off an excellent first-up win at this track, scoring by three lengths from Irie's Pachira in B2B3 after travelling well and putting the race away with authority. That was a major rebound from a plain sixth in COND company before a break, and his record now shows three wins and three places from nine starts. Proven at this venue and distance, he is a major threat again.

Returns after five weeks following a last-start B3 win at this track, charging home from a difficult position to beat On The Square by two lengths at big odds. That was a clear lift on his previous eighth here, where he conceded a big start and never seriously threatened. His track-and-distance record is durable, but this is a tougher assignment and he must reproduce that latest finish.

Returns after five weeks looking to bounce back from a sixth at this track over 1800m, where she settled rearward and made no impression when beaten over 12 lengths. Two back she was fifth at Ohi in A2 company, beaten four and a half lengths at long odds. The 1600m record here is a positive and Masashige Honda knows her well, but recent finishing effort has to improve.

Worked home only fairly when fourth at Urawa last start, beaten just over four lengths after being an outside chance in the market. His previous sixth at this track in B1B2 was also limited, tracking the speed before failing to finish off. Two wins and three placings from nine starts at this track and distance give him some grounding, but current form leaves others ahead.

Returns after five weeks in honest form, having run second to Yagiri Ibis at this track in B2B3 when sent out favourite and beaten three lengths. He had won here in B3 grade the start prior, beating Digest by a nose after settling rearward. Three wins and one place from four starts at this track and distance is a strong base, though he does have ground to make up on the last-start winner.

Comments

Returns after five weeks off a closing fourth at this track, beaten just over four lengths behind Yagiri Ibis after looking out of the contest before finishing strongly. That was a better run than her ninth here over 1200m, when she was miles back and made no impression. She has won at this venue and brings enough late strength to be included for a minor placing.

Comments

Returns after five weeks after winning a B3 over 1800m at this track by two lengths, working into the race nicely before beating Prevenance with authority. The concern is the broader profile: he was well beaten at Sapporo Dirt two back and has no win from four starts around 1600m, only two placings. The last-start win was sound, but this looks a harder task back at the mile.

Has been finishing only fairly of late, running sixth at Urawa in B2B3 when beaten just over seven lengths at long odds after conceding a big start. The start prior was a fourth at this track in a COND, beaten six lengths, again at long odds. His career record and 1600m wins are genuine positives, but his current level leaves him with a sizeable gap to bridge.

Resumed with a solid fourth at Urawa in B1B2, beaten a length and a half after being sent out an odds-on favourite and just failing to finish it off. He had won strongly the start prior, beating Belgarath by two and a half lengths, and the record with Aoi Shinoya is a major asset at four wins from five rides. Two wins from two starts at this track adds to the case, and he looks ready to take control second-up.
