Funabashi Race 11 - Race 11 - 1800

SHIMIZU MINATO (12) Ran 2nd last time here. Added confidence with Norifumi Mikamoto doing the steering. Placed at every start this preparation. Won't be far away. BUGGY WHIP (2) Back from a break. Ran 5th last start at Fukushima. Can make a comeback and proven performer at this trip. Gets a favourable draw. Has the ability to take this out. MAXIMUM POWER (7) Ran 4th last run at the track. Akira Harita and Masato Hayashi have a good working relationship. Likely to settle back in the field. Should go close. AOI EAGLE (8) Fresh from a spell of 26 weeks. Ran 7th last run at the track. Definite claims.

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing last in a COND over 1600m at this track, beaten out of sight behind Aigle Noir and unwanted in the market. The start prior was no better, finishing a distant last after being miles back. He has won at this track and distance, but the recent evidence is too plain to recommend with confidence.

Returns from a lengthy spell with the best overall profile in the field, having won three of seven starts and built a strong record around 1800m. He was fifth at Fukushima Dirt when last seen, beaten just over six lengths after working home only fairly, while his prior Nakayama Dirt run was plain. Fresh, proven at the trip and with a leading track trainer, he sets the standard.

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing second last at this track, beaten over 14 lengths behind Aigle Noir at big odds. That followed a seventh over 2200m at this venue when beaten over 15 lengths. He is a previous track-and-trip winner, but has been unplaced in all seven starts in the past 12 months and must lift sharply.

Comments

Returns from a five-week let-up in better form than the figures first suggest, having finished fifth in a COND over 1600m at this track and beaten just under three lengths at generous odds. His Chukyo Dirt run prior was sound enough against Open company without threatening. Third-up, with proven 1800m form and the top-ranked track jockey aboard, he appeals as a strong winning chance.

Returns from a three-month break with a compelling track profile, boasting six wins and one placing from eight starts at this venue. He was ninth in the Listed BSN SHO at Niigata Dirt, beaten five and a half lengths, and had also been safely held at Tokyo Dirt, but this is a far more suitable platform. His record says he can bounce back strongly fresh.

Returns from a five-week let-up after a plain second-up run, finishing second last over 1200m at this track and beaten over 12 lengths at big odds. The prior Morioka Dirt second behind Tosen Massimo was much better, beaten half a length, and his 1800m record is solid. Even so, he has to rebound significantly from the latest effort.

Returns from a five-week let-up after a close fourth in B1 grade at this track, beaten a length and a half by National Mall when near the top of an open market. His second to Sehr Schnell two back also reads well for this, and two wins plus a placing from six starts at this track and distance strengthen the case. He rates right in the main chances.

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending last campaign with a seventh at this track, beaten five lengths as favourite behind Placebo. His run prior was a sixth in A2 company, where he loomed but did not finish off. He has useful overall form and some 1800m grounding, but the long break and beaten-favourite profile keep him more in the place mix.

Comments

Comes off consecutive thirds, most recently at Kawasaki over 1600m when beaten four and a half lengths behind Michael Maximus after working home evenly. He had run third at Ohi the start prior and remains honest, with two wins and four placings from twelve starts at this distance. The winning edge is the query, but he can hold a minor role.

Returns from a five-week let-up in winning form after sweeping home to beat Shimizu Minato by just under a length in B1 grade at this track. That was a sharp turnaround from a well-beaten sixth over 2200m, and he gets weight relief now. He has already shown he can beat key rivals, but repeating that peak is the test from a wider draw.

Returns from a six-week freshening after finishing last at Urawa in A2 grade, beaten over 19 lengths and never in the race at long odds. His previous Kawasaki run was even less competitive, finishing a distant last behind Arms Reign. He has some older 1800m placed form, but recent performances leave him with plenty to find.

Returns from a five-week let-up after going under by just under a length to National Mall in B1 grade at this track as a prohibitive odds-on favourite. The run still had merit, as he picked up strongly, and his previous win over 1600m here from Takara Liner was decisive. With six wins and nine placings from 16 starts, he is a reliable place chance with upside.

Returns from a three-month break after finishing last at Ohi over 1200m, beaten just under ten lengths at long odds. His prior sixth at the same venue was also safely held, and he has not raced at around 1800m before. The class background gives some context, but on current form he must produce a clear turnaround.

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing 12th in a COND at this track, beaten over 12 lengths and unwanted in the market. His previous eighth in A2 company also lacked impact, with the same pattern of giving away a big start and never threatening. He has won at this track and distance, but recent form gives him a difficult task.
