FUNABASHI   28 Nov 2024
 
GOING:

Race 3 1500m

Track:      

Moderate tempo anticipated without a noted leader to run them along. DRAW APPLAUSE (11) is on a eight-day back-up after finishing in the money over 1500m at Urawa. Must contend with a wide draw but is likely to be in the finish. TAISEI TALISMAN (6) is still a maiden after 16 runs. Was well in commission last time out but didn't live up to market expectations, finishing fourth over 1500m at this track. This looks a nice race so expect him to be right in the finish. SEIUN WITH ME (8) started at $3.30 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth. Finds a nice race and can atone. T S FAIRY (5) last appeared when she finished tenth over 1800m at Morioka Dirt on August 11. Has switched to the Takanori Yamanaka yard. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
