Races ORM Funabashi - JAP

Well beaten at both runs this campaign and has been at long odds. Her 1000m record is the one positive, but current form is plain.

Recent form is edging the right way, with a fifth at Urawa last start. Still has to convert that into a sharper placing threat.

Back after three months and his latest run before the break had some late merit. Track-and-distance place record gives him a minor hope.

Excellent record at this track, but his first-up seventh behind Masano Hero was only fair. Has to lift on recent evidence.

Second to Masano Hero fresh and already a track-and-trip winner. Reliable 1000m profile keeps him firmly in the mix.

Returns after five weeks following a strong three-length track-and-trip win. Proven at the 1000m here and looks the one to beat.

Closed off better at Urawa last start, but the prior run was a heavy defeat. Place claims look thin unless he improves sharply.

Back to the trip where she is one from one. Recent 1400m runs were plain, but the 1000m return makes her a strong danger.

Last-start Urawa winner who beat Excellen Arthur and is building nicely this campaign. First 1000m try, but the form is strong.

First-up run was below market expectations. Strong rider-horse record helps, but she must improve to threaten.

Recent runs have been well below the mark, with big-margin defeats at Urawa and this track. Hard to make a case.

Beaten a head last start and racing consistently this season. This track is the query, but she is a genuine place hope.
