FUNABASHI   10 Dec 2025
 
GOING: G

Race 11 1000m

Track: GOOD      

Lots of speed predominantly from Primo Python, Entelecheia and Dualist. PRIMO PYTHON (13) made it three wins in a row last start when he scored by a head over 1000m at this track. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is up to the task. COPANO PASADENA (6) settled well back before making steady ground in the straight last start to finish seventh, beaten 4 lengths, over this journey at this track. Nicely placed and expected to go well. MASTER PLAN (12) is a 13-time winner who has been at the top of his game of late, beaten a head into second last time out over 1000m at this track. Races well here and expected to figure in the finish. ARMS REIGN (1) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when 12th over 1200m at Ohi. Has the class to return to the winners' list.
