Funabashi Race 7 - Race 7 - 1500
BRAVE PROUD (7) sets the standard third-up after a Funabashi 1500m win (1st, -6L) then a solid 2nd at the same trip on 27 Aug when well found in betting; draws just outside and stays at 54kg. Fresh winner TRUE TARGET (5) resumes second-up after a convincing Funabashi 1500m debut (1st, -6L) and maps well from barrier 5 at the same weight. Progressive TSUITE YUKITAI (3) is also third-up and rises 300m after a sharp 1200m win here on 24 Aug (1st, -4L), holding a good early prep profile. Honest NANIWANO BENKEI (2) is third-up and was 3rd at this track/trip on 27 Aug from a wide draw; barrier 2 is an advantage.

Draws the inside after a 4th of 7 at Kawasaki over 1500m 17 days ago, beaten 10L on heavy at $41. Track record reads 0:0-0-1 and he did place 3rd over 1200m on heavy at Funabashi in July, so the soft draw could help him settle and find a rhythm. Measured hope if he can reproduce that earlier heavy-track effort.

Third-up and drawn well in barrier 2, he sticks with Shoutarou Kawashima who has ridden him in both starts for a win and a placing. Broke maiden over 1200m at Funabashi on 6 Aug (FIRM) at $2.15, then was 3rd of 12 over 1500m there on 27 Aug (GOOD) from barrier 10, beaten 8.5L behind Buridaikon. Maps to get a softer run from the draw and can be competitive at this trip.

Impressive winner second-up at Funabashi over 1200m (24 Aug), putting 4L on Au Dela at $2.5 with 54kg, and he stays with Kenji Okamura from barrier 3. That followed a debut 2nd over 1000m (6 Aug) at $6.5, and today he rises 300m in trip while remaining third-up and back at a track where he’s (2:1-1-0). Solid profile to hold form at the distance and venue.

Draws barrier 4 and returns 18 days after finishing 7th over 1500m at Kawasaki on heavy, beaten 11.75L at $201. His best recent effort was a 3rd at Urawa over 1400m on soft, and he did place 2nd at Funabashi in June despite a big margin to the winner, so a clean run from this gate could see him hold his spot.

Impressive debut winner at Funabashi over 1500m, leading throughout to score by 6.0L at $2.15 under 54kg on firm going. Second-up now from barrier 5 with the same rider and trainer combo that’s 1-from-1, and he stays at the track and trip where he’s unbeaten.

Broke through at Monbetsu over 1700m 33 days ago, scoring by 1.5L at $7.5 on a Soft track after racing wide from barrier 9. Drops to 54kg and comes back 200m with a better draw in gate 6, which looks a workable setup. Consistent 1700m form this prep suggests he can hold his level back to the mile.

Third-up and building a tidy profile at Funabashi, having won on debut over 1500m (54kg) at $1.10 before a 2nd over the same trip 32 days ago. Last time he sat from barrier 8 and finished 6L behind Buridaikon at $2.25, and he draws slightly better in 7 today. Proven at the track and distance with Yano aboard (2:1-1), he looks neatly placed to hold his form.

Back to 51kg and rising 300m after a month off, he returns fourth-up with all three starts at Funabashi. His best run was two back when 3rd of 9 over 1200m at $5, and he now draws barrier 8 after racing widest last time from 9. With the weight drop and a familiar track, a competitive showing is within reach if he reproduces that August 3 effort.
