FUNABASHI   03 Nov 2025
 
GOING: G

Race 11 1800m

Track: GOOD      

Solid tempo anticipated with Shamal leading the way. MIKKI FIGHT (13) is a strong first-up performer who is fresh from a spell of four months. Has won the last two outings, the latest when fresh over 2000m at Ohi. Should park just off the speed despite the draw. Leading contender. WILSON TESORO (9) scored an impressive win by 4 lengths when resuming from a spell last time out over 1600m at Morioka Dirt. Second-up record is strong and is among the winning hopes again. MEISHO HARIO (2) last appeared when he finished seventh over 1900m in the G3 Heian Stakes at Kyoto Dirt on May 24. One to consider. SAINT HONORE (5) was in great form before the break with two consecutive wins, the latest over 1800m at this track. Goes well fresh so respect.
