FUNABASHI   02 Oct 2025
 
GOING: G

Race 1 1200m

Track: GOOD     True  

Solid pace with Token Shun finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. FAIRY ON ICE (2) could not have been more impressive last start, storming clear for a dominant seven-length maiden win over 1400m at Nagoya. Draws kindly again and looks the one they all have to beat. COSMO EN EN (10) showed good early speed last start over 1500m at Nagoya, sticking on well for second. Despite the wide alley he has the pace to cross and should give another bold sight. SALT MIRACLE (7) returned in good style at Urawa when finishing third over 1400m after racing on the pace. Easier assignment here makes him a genuine winning hope. GREIG UN (6) resumes off a 12-week break for a new yard. Much easier than Tokyo company last prep and could surprise fresh.
