Funabashi Race 2

1200

Prize Money: $43,860

LAST HONEY (3) settled well back last start and never threatened when in seventh over 1400m at Urawa. Finds a more suitable contest and can take this out. OPERCULICARYA (4) led all the way to score as favourite on debut over 1000m at this track 12 weeks ago and has not appeared since. Promising type who can go back-to-back. LES DEUX ROSES (1) led all the way to score as favourite on debut over 1000m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Sure to make her presence felt again. LALA BLOSSOM (5) showed good early speed over 1200m at this track last time and went on to salute by 5 lengths. Among the top-three contenders.

Was well-supported at debut, won favourite; scored a big 7 len win at this track on August 5 over 1000m defeating Unohana with 53kg at $1.80. Great effort on debut and is capable of keeping the ball rolling.

Had two starts to date. At debut, 3rd in a small field at this track on July 4 over 1000m, 6 len behind Stealth Hunter carrying 54kg at $6.30. Second-up made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 9 at this track on August 2 over 1200m, 3 len behind Mandela Effect with 54kg at $3.30. Needs plenty of improvement to trouble the top few.

Second run back. First-up after two months eased back early on 7th of 10 at Urawa on August 11 over 1400m, 10 len behind Unoki Bombaye carrying 54kg at $103.70. Previously second-up 5th of 12 at this track on June 2 over 1200m, 6 len behind Moriken carrying 54kg at $5.20. Worth another chance.

Lining up for just third start. When well in the market at debut, ran second last in a small field at this track on July 4 over 1200m, 4 len behind Farewell Bell carrying 54kg at $3.50. Last start favourite; won by 5 len at this track on August 3 over 1200m defeating Grand Sailing carrying 54kg at $1.50. Well-placed, can figure in the finish.

At the latest run ran second last in a small field at this track on August 2 over 1200m, 12 len behind Stealth Hunter carrying 54kg at $77.10. Before that ran last in a small field at this track on June 28 over 1200m, 60 len behind Moriken carrying 53kg at $23.90. Hard to make much of a case.
