FUNABASHI   31 Mar 2025
 
GOING: FM

Race 10 1500m

Track: FIRM      

Strong tempo likely with several going forward, headed by Magic Moment and Meisho Kammuri. MAGIC MOMENT (5) is a four-time winner who has been at the top of his game of late, beaten one length into second last time out over 1500m at this track. Races well here and is likely to run another big race. MEISHO KAMMURI (9) is in top form, most recently recording a win by one length over 1500m at this track to make it two on the bounce. Reunites with Takayuki Yano who has been in the money three times when aboard. Should be hard to stop. CROWN COULOMB (3) is yet to break through in 17 runs. Finished sixth at his last appearance over 1500m at this track on March 10 after he gave away a big start. Among the chances in what looks a nice race for him. GREGG (14) returns from a spell of three-and-a-half months and did win first-up last time in work over 1500m at this track. Has found a suitable race and is worth including.
