FUNABASHI   27 Sep 2024
 
GOING: G

Race 10 1600m

Track: GOOD      

Genuine tempo with Lovely View to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. LOVELY VIEW (2) built on a nice third when fresh from a spell two starts back at this track with a win over 1600m at Kawasaki seven weeks ago, getting home by 2.5 lengths. Going up a level this time but he is good enough to play a major role. ROSE PERIOD (6) built on a nice third two starts back at this track with success over 1600m at this track four weeks ago, getting home by 3 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can build on that last-start success. KITASAN ELPIS (7) dug deep to score two back then finished third over 1600m at this track last time four weeks ago. Tsubasa Sasagawa who has four wins when partnering stays on. Expected to measure up. META SPECTER (4) showed good early speed and raced on the pace when first-up after a spell last start before fading to finish fourth over 1600m at this track. Among the chances.

Second-up. First-up after five months sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 7 at this track on August 30 over 1600m, 4.5 len behind Rose Period carrying 55kg at $16.50.

Useful entire. Most recently raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 3 len at this track August 30 over 1600m defeating Ruchbah with 55kg at $3. Before that 3rd of 8 at this track on July 20 over 1600m, 4.5 len behind Mille Nuits with 55kg at $3.30. Everything points towards a big run.

Racing well. At the latest run sat on the pace when 3rd of 7 at this track on August 30 over 1600m, 3.5 len behind Rose Period carrying 53kg at $2.80. The race before that favourite; came from midfield and won by 0.5 len at this track July 21 over 1600m defeating Triple Million carrying 55kg at $2.30. Ideally placed to play a significant role.

Comes here off a 52-day let-up. Most recently crossed from a wide gate to settle just off the pace but gave ground when 3rd of 14 at Kawasaki on August 6 over 1500m, 2.25 len behind Kieler Woche carrying 55kg at $66.10. The race before that ran last of 9 at this track on June 30 over 1600m, 20 len behind Moueix carrying 54kg at $39.80. Can't make much of a case.
