FUNABASHI   30 Mar 2026
 
GOING:

Race 12 1800m

Track:      

Moderate pace only with Meisho Fuso leading Another Moon. BULKHEAD (10) returned from a spell two-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth over 1500m at this track. This looks a sterner test than last time but with added fitness he is one of the key runners. TAISEI LE CIEL (8) comes here off a last-start seventh, beaten 11 lengths, over 2000m at Kawasaki. Leading player. ANOTHER MOON (7) was in the firing line on the corner and finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1500m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Going up a level this time but he is up to the challenge. MEISHO FUSO (12) was expected to do more last start when out of the placings over 1500m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Goes up a rung or two but he is capable of running a bold race.
