Funabashi Race 2 - Race 2 - 1200
KIMITO HIKARE (10) sets the standard off consistent 1400m form with a win and three thirds from her last four, and the drop to 1200m looks fine for a filly holding her ratings. BLAST CLOVER (9) is the danger after a solid 2nd over this Funabashi 1200m last start and stays at the trip. PRECIOUS JACK (6) has claims second up after placing over 1000m here and can improve at 1200m. TSUKUBA VIVANT (4) is harder to trust but does have a 1200m/track placing and can fill a minor spot. Slight lean to KIMITO HIKARE (10) to edge a competitive finish.

Third up and draws the inside after coming from barrier 5 last time. Latest run at Urawa over 1400m on 21 Oct saw him finish 8th of 12, beaten 10.56L at $18.00, so the shorter 1200m and the rail draw can help secure a cleaner run. Takaichi Elon gets Kousei Akimoto again for a more economical set-up from gate 1.

Draws much better here, moving from barrier 9 to 2. Last start at Urawa over 1400m on 21 Oct she finished 9th of 12, beaten 10.57L at $81.00. Back to 1200m at Funabashi with Mai Fukuhara aboard, the inside draw can help her find a more economical run.

Second up after a 1400m run at Urawa on 21 Oct when 7th of 12, beaten 10.26L at $34.00. Draws better from barrier 3 after jumping from 6 last time. The drop to 1200m and a handier gate give Daiba Maaya a cleaner set-up to improve.

Third up and stays at 1200m after two runs at this track. Ran 3rd of 5 at Funabashi over 1200m on 28 Aug (FIRM), beaten 8.5L at $2.90, then 9th of 12 here on 28 Sep (SOFT), beaten 17L at $51.00. Sticking to the same trip with Tatsuya Yamaguchi aboard again, Tsukuba Vivant looks for improvement back at Funabashi.

Second up after a Funabashi 1000m run on 2 Oct when 3rd of 6, beaten 21.5L at $9.00 on soft ground. Steps to 1200m, which may suit better than that sharp trip. Retains Jouji Wada and stays at the same track. Grand Lucius can improve with the run under his belt.

Second up after a 1000m run at Funabashi on 2 Oct when 3rd of 4, beaten 8L on soft at $16.00. Steps to 1200m and stays at Funabashi, which could suit with natural improvement. Aoi Shinoya sticks, and the rise in trip and added experience offer scope to progress. Precious Jack has a platform to build on here.

Draws kinder in 7 after jumping from 12 last time and drops to 51kg from 54kg, which should help. Was 5th of 12 at Urawa over 1400m on 22 Oct, beaten 8.2L at $29.00. Earlier ran 5th of 9 here over 1200m on 3 Aug, beaten 11L at $8.50. Set-up is more favourable now back to this trip and with the lighter weight.

Draws better with barrier 8 after jumping from 12 last time. Was $5.50 when 6th of 12 over 1200m at Funabashi on 28 Sep on soft, beaten 11L, having also finished 6th of 9 here over 1200m on 2 Aug on firm at $4.75. Stays to a familiar trip and keeps Akira Harita for Takashi Harita. Needs to lift but the gate change offers a chance to settle into a more economical rhythm.

Placed in 4 of last 5 and brings a solid this season record (4:1-0-3). Last start at Kanazawa over 1400m on 21 Sep she was 3rd of 10, beaten 3L at $16.00. Back to 1200m at Funabashi with Ryouma Kimatsuka up, her consistent profile gives her a sound chance to be competitive again.
