FUNABASHI   31 Aug 2025
 
GOING: G

Race 12 1800m

Track: GOOD     True  

There should be a bit of pressure with Cha Pri and Techno Diamond pressing forward in advance of Great Furioso and Presto Mulan. GREAT FURIOSO (3) did a great job to score by 1.5 lengths over this course and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is up to the challenge. CHA PRI (4) is a talented galloper who is unbeaten in three runs this time in, the latest at this track over 1600m. Looks suited at the longer journey and can continue the winning run. TECHNO DIAMOND (2) could only manage sixth last start over 1600m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Has a very good record here including eight wins from 15 starts. Should be involved in the finish. BELGARATH (1) settled well back last time out then found the line strongly to finish 4 lengths away in fourth over 2000m at Urawa. Worth including.
