Funabashi

WORLD CRISIS (1) First up and placed 2nd first up last preparation at the track. Jockey Masashige Honda and trainer Kiyoshige Arai are a strong combination. Won't be far away. DUNGAREE (6) Competitive effort when 2nd last time here. Has run into the money at every start this preparation. Should be swooping on the field late. Fights on bravely so consider. WINDHOSE (10) Came in 5th last time at Urawa. Has the potential to improve sharply and hard to fault at the distance. Sure to be thereabouts. DERMA KATASUKASHI (7) Was agonizingly close last time here and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Can go through the gears. Been in the money 2 from 2 attempts this preparation. Worth strong consideration.
