Funabashi Race 1 - Race 1 - 1200
Lean to EMMY'S DESIRE (4), who was well found on debut and wasn’t disgraced in 5th, and the rise to 1200m with 52kg can help her improve. GUNSMITH (10) appeals as the danger dropping back from 1500m after finishing 5th; that run rates slightly better than much of this field. CORELES SPIRIT (2) has race fitness fourth up and two prior 1200m runs at the track, which gives him a base to hold a spot. AMERICAN MELODY (1) draws the rail and can strip fitter second up, and the drop from 1500m may suit; narrow edge to EMMY'S DESIRE (4).

Second up after a 1000m Funabashi run on 2 Oct when 5th of 6, beaten 31L at $51.00 on soft. Steps to 1200m, which offers a different set-up from that sharp dash. With Yuuki Yamanaka aboard again, can look to improve with the run under the belt.

Second up with a 2kg drop to 52kg and a kinder draw, moving from barrier 7 to 4. Last start at Funabashi over 1000m on 1 Oct she finished 5th of 7, beaten 11.5L on soft as a $1.55 chance. The step to 1200m and a better alley give Emmy's Desire a more favourable set-up to progress.

Only prior start was here at Funabashi over 1000m on 4 Jun, finishing 5th of 5 at $4.33 and beaten 34L on soft ground.

Third up for Reste Pres De after finishing 10th of 10 over 1500m at Funabashi on 28 Sep, beaten 24.05L at $251.00 on soft ground. Back to 1200m which may be a more suitable assignment at this stage. Kousei Akimoto sticks and the stable keeps her ticking over. Needs to lift but the shorter trip gives her a chance to settle into the prep.

Steps to 1200m at Funabashi after an 11th of 12 over 900m at Kawasaki on 13 Oct, beaten 24.01L at $301.00. The longer trip could allow her more time to find a rhythm. Daisuke Shouji rides for Masao Ai. Needs to lift, with the distance rise offering a different set-up.
