Verdict

FORTITUDE (3) is a progressive type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Already a seven time winner including last start when scoring by half a length over 4f at this track. Races well here and rates a top chance again. SUN FLOWER MOON (10) improved sharply on her 12th two starts back at Funabashi with success over 5f at Funabashi five-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by a neck after being in the firing line on the corner. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is one of the key runners. IDOL (11) has not won for a long while. Last raced on August 2 when beaten 13 lengths into ninth at Funabashi over 6f. Must raise the bar but this looks well within her grasp. BODY CONSCIOUS (9) won at this track and distance at her last outing 11 weeks ago. One to consider.
