FUNABASHI   03 Nov 2025
 
GOING: G

Race 3 1200m

Track: GOOD      

A race that lacks early pressure on paper. WANAKA (4) returns from a spell of 11 weeks and is having her first run for a new yard. Ended last campaign with back-to-back wins. Expected to feature on best form. MAHA GITA (11) has been around the mark lately, last start finishing third over 1400m at Kawasaki. At peak fitness now. Must be respected. FAIRY ON ICE (5) did well to score at Nagoya two runs ago. Decent effort last time out when second over 1200m at this track, beaten half a length. She is capable of testing her rivals. SEIUN YUZUKA (6) has switched yards since finishing 14th seven weeks ago over 1600m at Nakayama. Much better placed at this level and placed at Niigata three back.
