Funabashi Race 6

Funabashi C3

Stake: $26,085

KING'S WAY (6) wound up strongly last time at the end of 1500m at this track to finish second, half a length from the winner. Should camp just off the leaders. Will play a major role. MACCHINETTA (4) has registered three minor placings from four runs this campaign. Was always up in the leading division and finished 2.5 lengths from the winner in second last start over 2000m at Urawa. In a suitable race and can figure in the finish. KERAUNOS KAZU (2) turned in a fine effort to win by half a length at this track and distance last start in a much improved run. Taking on a better line-up this time but he can get the job done. SPELL GASSAN (1) doesn't win very often but ran a nice race last time out over 1500m at this track, finishing fourth and beaten 1.5 lengths. Well placed and should be about the mark.

Second run back. First-up after three months couldn't go on with it; second last of 9 at this track on July 6 over 1500m, 18 len behind Sovereign Ruler with 54kg at $2.60. Previously second-up favourite; won by 3 len at this track November 29 over 1200m defeating Taisei Forte with 54kg at $5.80. Unlikely to threaten.

Form hard to fault. Last start made ground from midfield; 2nd of 9 at this track on July 5 over 1500m, 0.5 len behind Keraunos Kazu with 56kg at $3. The race before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 10 at this track on June 5 over 1500m, head behind Sovereign Ruler carrying 56kg at $1.40. Strong effort last time and looks a leading hope.
