Funabashi Race 5 - Race 5 - 1200
MORIKEN (7) sets the standard at Funabashi with a perfect 3/3 local record, including two 1200m wins here, and can rebound dropping back from 1400m. STEALTH HUNTER (6) is a dual Funabashi winner and scored over 1200m here two back before a 1500m miss, so the drop suits. CRAZY ROCKER (2) is third-up and comes off a dominant Funabashi 1200m win last start. CO'S MARTHA (9) also arrives off a Funabashi 1200m victory and maps to be competitive again from a wider gate.

Draws the inside gate after a short 17-day turnaround and drops back 200m, which could help after finishing 8th of 10 at Kawasaki over 1400m on heavy going by 16.6L at $61 behind Vuela Grande. His best this prep came two back at Kawasaki when 3rd of 8 over 1400m on firm by 9L at $23, and he sticks with Hiroki Okamura. From barrier 1 with 54kg, a tidy run closer to the speed can see him hold his place in the finish.

Third-up and drawn barrier 2, he returns to the track and trip where he bolted in by 9L over 1200m at Funabashi on 25 Aug (54kg, SP 1.08), beating Palm Street. That came after a 1000m debut here when 5th, so the step to 1200m clearly suited. With 54kg again and a handy draw, he looks well set to run to that recent winning level.

Proven at Funabashi with two seconds from three runs and a solid 1200m record (1:0-1-0), she now returns first-up from roughly three months off. Her best recent effort was a 2nd over 1200m here on 2 Jun (FIRM) when sent off $2.50, beaten 1L by Moriken, and she draws better today from barrier 3 after coping with 11 last time at the trip. With 54kg and an established partnership with Masashige Honda (0:0-2-0 from three), she profiles to run well fresh at this distance.

Returns to 1200m after a tough 6th of 7 over 1500m at Kawasaki 16 days ago on HEAVY, when sent out $91 and beaten 34L by Black Lizard. Notably, his sole win came two starts back at Kawasaki over 1400m on FIRM (54kg, $17), with Kousuke Sakurai aboard, and that jockey is reunited today. From barrier 4 and back to a sharper trip, he can rebound if reproducing that winning effort.

Returns to 1200m after a 900m Kawasaki run 20 days ago when 4th of 9, beaten 3.8L on heavy carrying 53kg at $51. Her best effort this prep was 3rd of 6 at Funabashi over 1200m on firm two starts back, 5.75L off Les Deux Roses at $126 under 54kg. With a handy draw of barrier 5 and a solid Funabashi record (5:0-1-1), she can be around the mark again.

Already a dual winner at Funabashi, including a 1200m success two starts back (SP 3.4) over Invaincu. Last time he was stretched to 1500m and faded to 8th of 12, beaten 12.6L, so the drop back 300m looks a positive. With 55kg and a strong 3:2-0-0 partnership with Kenji Okamura, he profiles to rebound at his pet trip.

A three-time Funabashi winner, he’s 2-from-2 at 1200m here and reunites with a jockey who has ridden him to three wins from four rides. Forgive the latest 5th at Urawa over 1400m (10.25L, SP 4.2) as he drops back 200m and returns to his preferred track and trip with 55kg from barrier 7. Strong track and distance stats suggest he can rebound.

Returns third-up with a 300m rise in trip and drops to 54kg after a solid 2nd at Kawasaki over 900m on heavy 20 days ago when sent out 1.11. Previously won there over 900m on firm, and the Nobata–Yamazaki combo has a strong 2:1-1 record; barrier 8 is wider than last time but he’s holding form well.

Third-up and already a 1200m winner at Funabashi, she scored by 1.5L over Yuyakeno Sora on 25 Aug carrying 54kg at $3.4. That followed a 4th over 1000m earlier in the month, and she draws barrier 9 this time after jumping from 5 for the win; solid claims returning to the successful trip.

Proved effective at Funabashi 1200m last start, running 2nd of 9 by 4L at $2 with 54kg after jumping from barrier 8. Earlier Monbetsu form at 1000m was solid, including a win over Yui Fire at $1.6 and a 3rd beaten 0.8L. Draws barrier 10 here and stays at 54kg; consistent juvenile who can be competitive again.

First-up after 114 days, she returns to the track where she won her debut at Funabashi over 1000m by 1.5L on 5 Jun carrying 54kg at 4.8, beating Buridaikon. Steps up 200m and draws wider from barrier 11 (from 2), but retains Shoutarou Kawashima, with whom she is unbeaten along with her trainer-jockey combo. Proven at the venue and clearly talented, she just needs to handle the extra trip and the wide gate.
