FUNABASHI   12 Mar 2025
 
GOING: G

Race 2 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Solid tempo anticipated with Rickey Deesse taking charge. RICKEY DEESSE (4) was in contention on the bend and progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1200m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Likely improver with strong prospects. HYOI ZABURO (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was never in contention over 1200m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths into fifth. Finds a nice race and can feature in the finish. DANCING TIARA (10) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing ninth and beaten 8 lengths starting at $5.90. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. AINO SANKA (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 2 lengths into fourth. Well placed to bounce back.
