Funabashi Race 5

Funabashi 3Yo

Stake: $67,294

THOR HAMMER (6) got home by 1.5 lengths last time out over 1500m at this track. Yet to miss the placings from three starts at this track. Tatsuya Hamada sticks. Major player. EPOCA DEL SOLE (1) missed the placings last time out over this distance at Urawa. Has a very good record here including two wins from four starts. Rates a winning chance. PALENQUE (4) returned last time with a solid second at this track over 1500m. Finds a tougher race but a big run is on the cards. ANOTHER MATE (5) ran fourth at her latest appearance over 1600m at this track. Has sound form here including a win and two minor placings from six starts. Definite chance.

Useful type. Comes here off a 38-day let-up. Most recently 3rd of 11 at this track on April 1 over 1600m, 3 len behind Jun Harvest carrying 57kg at $25.30. The run before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 3 len at this track March 12 over 1500m defeating Another Mate carrying 56kg at $3.70. Has the ability to take this out.

At the latest run eased back early on 5th of 8 at Urawa on April 22 over 1400m, 6 len behind Esca Tiae with 52kg at $9.50. The start before that 5th of 11 at this track on April 1 over 1600m, 5 len behind Jun Harvest carrying 53kg at $10.80. Better off avoiding.

Second run back. Comes off a 39-day let-up. First-up after three months rolled along in front before being edged out 2nd of 11 at this track on March 31 over 1500m, 1.5 len behind Thor Hammer with 56kg at $6.70. Previously second-up 2nd in a small field at this track on July 18 over 1200m, neck behind Kimon Route carrying 53kg at $2. Solid top-three hope.

Useful filly. Comes here off a 38-day let-up. Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 11 at this track on April 1 over 1600m, 4.5 len behind Jun Harvest carrying 55kg at $10.90. The race before that led but faded 2nd of 9 at this track on March 12 over 1500m, 3 len behind Seven One Bio with 54kg at $3.10. Deserves another chance.
