Funabashi Race 6

Funabashi C2

Prize Money: $19,683

COURAGE MINORU (5) had been in great form winning two on end before missing the frame last time when fourth over 1200m at this track. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Among the leading chances. MANDALAY (3) built on a nice third two starts back at this track with a win over 1200m at this track four weeks ago, getting home by one length. Ryo Novata scored on him last time and retains the ride. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot score again. SEKITEI JUO (10) has been in the placings his past two starts, finishing second over 1200m at this track last time out. Should park just off the speed despite the draw. Sure to be competitive. DAIYU FARINA (1) won at this track two starts ago but was below his best at a more recent appearance, finishing fifth over 1200m at this track. Has a good record at this course and distance, including three wins. Suitably placed so expecting a better run this time.

Comes off a 30 day let-up. Most recently second last in a small field at this track on July 29 over 1200m, 3 len behind Pure Jasmine carrying 56kg at $5.60. The run before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 2.5 len at this track July 4 over 1200m defeating Star Guts Man with 56kg at $1.50. The rails draw brings him right into calculations.

Recent form sound. At the latest run raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.0 len at this track August 1 over 1200m defeating Heroic Bio with 56kg at $7.60. The start before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 9 at this track on July 6 over 1200m, 4 len behind Corn Tops carrying 56kg at $5.40. Can get the job done again.

At the latest run crossed from a wide gate to settle just off the pace but gave ground when 6th of 11 at Urawa on August 19 over 1500m, 2.25 len behind Chikachan carrying 54kg at $14.10. Before that came from midfield; 2nd of 10 at Urawa on July 22 over 1500m, 3 len behind Great Spirit carrying 54kg at $8.20. Cannot enthuse.

Racing well recently. Comes off a 30 day let-up. Most recently 2nd in a small field at this track on July 29 over 1200m, neck behind Pure Jasmine carrying 56kg at $13.30. The race before that raced on the pace when 2nd of 9 at this track on July 3 over 1200m, 1.5 len behind Lingus Rocher carrying 56kg at $14.10. Well placed. Should prove hard to beat.
