Races ORM Funabashi - JAP

Back after five weeks and the Ohi fade-out reads poorly. Earlier Kawasaki run was better, but recent form leaves him with plenty to find.

Resumes after three months. Last seen making ground in ALLOW grade and has 1000m form to back her up. Strong winning chance.

Back after two months but recent runs have been poor, including a last at Kawasaki. Past 1000m form is not enough on its own.

Returns from two months off chasing three straight. Proven around 1000m and unbeaten with Masashige Honda; genuine top-four player.

Resumes after a plain track run, but his prior Kawasaki win was dominant and his 1000m record is strong. Place claims if he rebounds.

Back after five weeks and was fair as favourite first-up. First go around 1000m is the query, so he shapes more as a place hope.

Back after five weeks following a sound second at this track. Excellent venue record offsets the 1000m query and keeps him right in this.

Resumes after three months with better form than the figures show. Proven at 1000m and suited fresh; strong chance to bounce back.

Back from eight months off with solid Kawasaki credentials and a good Kenji Okamura record. Readiness is the obvious hurdle.

Freshened since a fair fifth, but his previous track win keeps him in the mix. First go around 1000m makes him a place hope.

Returns after two months off a close Kawasaki second, but Joyful Rock had her measure. Minor claims look more realistic.

Back from eight months off after a disappointing track run as a fancied runner. Career record is good, but recent form is thin.

Freshened after a sound third behind Joyful Rock. Strong 1000m record and Mikamoto link help, but others have sharper claims.

Back after five weeks with a win and a neck second at this track. New around 1000m, but his venue record and Yano link make him the one to beat.
