FUNABASHI   03 Oct 2025
 
GOING: G

Race 11 1600m

Track: GOOD      

Alain Barows to take charge ahead of Johnson Tesoro at a good tempo. PARALLEL VISION (9) returns from a spell of 12 weeks and is having his first run for a new yard. Finished 11th in the G3 Niigata Daishoten over 2000m when first-up last time in work. Can make an immediate impact for the new mentor. ALAIN BAROWS (8) pushed forward when resuming last time and boxed on to finish 4 lengths away in third over 1600m at Kawasaki. Has the class to take care of this field. HENNY TYPHOON (4) finished off last campaign with a seventh over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt on July 6 and has since switched trainers. Generally runs well when fresh with two wins and one minor placings from five runs. Among the leading chances. JOHNSON TESORO (7) booted up from the inside draw to lead when returning from a spell last start and was there on straightening before being claimed and finishing 1.1 lengths away in third over 1700m at this track. Should give backers a sight again.
