Funabashi Race 1 - Race 1 - 1200
SAMAROLI (3) appeals most stepping to 1200m after a solid 2nd over 1000m here, holding form at the track and looking suited on GOOD ground. THUNDER EYE (12) is a danger after a clear 2nd over 1000m at this course and should handle the extra trip despite the wide draw. ELMO (10) has the race experience at 1200m here and a last-start 3rd, so profiles as a consistent place threat. ASTRO NOVA (2) can improve back to 1200m and has a prior 2nd at this track; if he bounces from the inner draw he’s in the mix. Narrow lean to SAMAROLI (3) in a competitive juvenile sprint.

Third up and draws the inside after jumping from 5 last time. Finished 10th of 12 at Urawa over 1400m on 21 Oct, beaten 11.15L at $51.00 on firm ground. The better gate gives her a chance to find a cleaner run around 1200m at Funabashi.

Third up and back to 1200m after a 1500m Funabashi run on 28 Sep when 7th of 10, beaten 11.3L at $2.30 on soft. The shorter trip and a return to good ground look more suitable. With Ryou Nobata booked for Taito Mori, he can improve in this set-up.

Second up after finishing 2nd of 7 over 1000m at Funabashi on 1 Oct, beaten 4L on soft at $6.00. Steps to 1200m and stays at Funabashi, which looks a reasonable progression. Masashige Honda sticks with her. Competitive claims with natural improvement second up.

First up after about four months with Kenji Okamura aboard. Last start at Funabashi over 1000m on 4 Jul was 2nd of 6 at $15.00, beaten 7L on GOOD, and she now stretches to 1200m. The track holds no fears and that run provides a base. Genuine hope if improving at this trip.

First up off about three months and returns to the 1200m at Funabashi, where she was 3rd of 9 on 2 Aug, beaten 3.1L at $29.00 on firm ground. That followed a 4th of 8 here on 2 Jul over 1200m on heavy, beaten 5.3L at $5.00. Stable goes back to a track and trip she has handled, and Rikuto Sugawara sticks. Competitive claims if she reproduces her August effort.

Drops back from 1400m after finishing 4th of 12 at Urawa on 22 Oct, beaten 8.1L at $20.00 on firm ground. The shorter 1200m at Funabashi could suit better at this stage and Haruhito Nakayama sticks. Scope to improve with that experience under the belt.

Placed in 2 of her last 3 and was 3rd of 12 at Urawa over 1400m on 22 Oct, beaten 5.1L at $7.50. Returns to 1200m at Funabashi, where she was 8th of 12 on 28 Sep on soft going, so the good track is a different set-up. Season record reads (4:0-1-2), suggesting she’s been around the mark. Honest credentials to run well in this.

Drops back to 1200m after a 7th of 12 at Urawa over 1400 on 21 Oct, beaten 9.3L at $101.00 on firm ground. The shorter trip at Funabashi could prove more suitable. Shouya Hozono sticks for Morio Kawamura. Needs to find improvement but the set-up is a touch kinder here.

Fourth up and sticking to 1200m at Funabashi, he’s been around the mark here with a 3rd of 7 on 28 Sep on soft at $6.50 after a 4th of 7 on 25 Aug on firm at $51.00. That recent placing suggests he’s trending the right way at this track. With Tatsuya Hamada booked, this looks a suitable assignment to hold his form.

Second up after finishing 2nd of 4 at Funabashi over 1000m on 2 Oct, beaten 4L as a $2.88 chance on soft ground. Steps to 1200m on good going, a different set-up to that shorter soft-track run. With Akira Harita aboard again, she has experience at the track to draw on. That profile gives her a workable platform at this trip.
