FUNABASHI   11 Mar 2025
 
GOING: G

Race 2 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Good early pressure with King Slayer or Nekoni Kotatsu likely to take up the running. MIYABI MORTAR (5) proved too strong last start and scored by 2.5 lengths over 1200m at this track. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Look the one to beat. KING SLAYER (9) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fourth, beaten 2.5 lengths, over 1200m at this track. Expected to be in this for a long way. HORSEMANSHIP (3) turned in a fine effort to score by 2 lengths at today's track and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Likely to be there at the finish again. FULL HEART BEAT (6) is back from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Scored a good win at his final run last preparation at this track over 1200m. Makes plenty of appeal.
