Funabashi

KINGSBURY (9) Close up last start here and proven performer at this trip. Has the speed to overcome the wide gate. Very competitive this campaign. Has the ability to take this out. MOIRA (5) Got the upper hand late when winning last time around here and strong performer at this distance in the past. Can't knock the form winning 2 in succession. No shock to see a win. K'S BLANC (8) Did well when 3rd last time here. Has the necessary speed to mitigate the wide draw. Has been a model of consistency this preparation. Aoi Shinoya has been successful previously. Must respect in this event. STONES (6) First up and caught the eye when 3rd beaten by 1 3/4L first up last preparation at Tokyo. Likely to be well placed early. Change in trainer. Can fill a place in this field.
