Races ORM Funabashi - JAP

Recent B3 efforts have lacked punch and he is unplaced from six starts at this track. The 1600m record helps only a little.

Back from five weeks after a solid second here. Proven around 1600m and can land in the placings if she finishes off again.

Back after five weeks and gets 50kg, but recent margins are sizeable and she is unplaced from eight at this track and trip.

Freshened five weeks and holding form well. Nose second then third here, with Akira Harita's record aboard a major positive.

Has been well held at her past two and was big odds last start. A prior win with this jockey is not enough to sway the case.

Recent form is plain, including a heavy Kawasaki defeat. The distance record is deep, but current figures make him hard to support.

Freshened since a flat run as a fancied runner. Earlier fourth here and strong career record keep him in the place mix.

Back after eight months. Has 1600m experience, but the last campaign ended with two plain Urawa efforts and he must lift.

Third-up after a much better Urawa fifth and gets the top-ranked track jockey. One poor run aside, he has the profile to win.

Freshened since a plain B3 sixth, but his C1 win here two back was strong late work. A realistic minor chance.

Second-up after a plain Kawasaki return. Distance record is sound, but recent efforts leave him looking more place than win.

Freshened since making it three straight at this track. Six from six here and two from two at the distance make him a major player.

Back from four months off a plain form line. Has past wins around 1600m, but recent efforts make this a tough assignment.

Freshened after a beaten-favourite fifth, but his prior third was solid and Shoya Hozono's record aboard keeps him a strong chance.
