Funabashi Race 3 - Race 3 - 1000
Wide-open juvenile dash of first starters. Slight lean to PEPTIDE ERIC (5) at 55kg with a sharp sprint pedigree that suits 1000m. ISHIMATSU (1) draws the rail and carries 55kg, which can be an advantage at Funabashi over this trip. WILL MAKE IT (7) profiles as a speedy type by Mr Melody and maps to be prominent from barrier 7. NOBLE COUGAR (3) gets in light at 52kg and is by Danon Smash, so a bold debut is possible; marginal pick in a race lacking exposed form.
