FUNABASHI   27 Nov 2024
 
GOING: G

Race 11 1000m

Track: GOOD      

Entelecheia and Lux Dion possess good early speed and will battle for early honours. JUSTIN (3) was a winner last time over 1000m at this track and re-unites with Ryuji Tatsushiro who steered on that occasion. Nice weight drop so he is right in contention. LUX DION (14) finished second two runs back at Ohi then improved last time out to score by 3 lengths as public elect over 1000m at this track. Meets some better types this time but another win is not out of the question. GIGAS (9) is a genuine three-year-old colt who resumed with a solid third last time out at Sonoda over 1400m. Bright prospects. SUAVE CHARLES (8) was prominent at the corner and finished third last time over 1000m at this track, beaten 2.25 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Suitably placed so anticipating another strong effort.
