Funabashi Race 4 - Funabashi C2
KEIAI WHAKAPONO (8) finished third when resuming two runs back at this track then progressed nicely last time out to score by a neck as favourite over 1200m at this track. Steps up a level but he is capable of running another bold race. JUST KINGDOM (2) turned in a fine effort to win by 4 lengths at today's course and distance last start in a far better run. Meets some better types this time but another big run will not surprise. STEEL CHARM (4) is a handy type who resumes after a break of eight months. At her last appearance she finished sixth over 1000m at Monbetsu, beaten 4.5 lengths. One of the contenders. RYUNO RAPTOR (9) was below his best last time when sixth over 1400m at Kawasaki, beaten 11 lengths. Best figures measure up nicely. Solid top-three prospects.

Most recently ran last of 11 at Urawa on February 26 over 1500m, 21 len behind Public Sphere with 54kg at $29.50. The run before that raced on the speed throughout before fading 10th of 12 at this track on February 12 over 1200m, 18 len behind Gema Solar carrying 54kg at $25.30. Happy enough to avoid.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Resuming sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 12 at this track on January 20 over 1200m, neck behind Mashi Good Luck carrying 56kg at $2. Last start favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a neck at this track February 11 over 1200m defeating Derma Katasukashi carrying 56kg at $1.50. Genuine contender under these conditions.

Last start settled back and ran on when 6th of 12 at Kawasaki on March 4 over 1400m, 11 len behind Zendan Tomoni carrying 56kg at $4.30. The run before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 12 at this track on February 13 over 1200m, 6 len behind Last Shot with 56kg at $7.70. Cannot be ruled out despite a lacklustre effort last time.
