FUNABASHI   12 Mar 2025
 
GOING: G

Race 4 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Strong tempo with Seitentaisei and Letemps Allure leading from Lingus Rocher and Balalalalalala. LETEMPS ALLURE (4) was a dominant winner last time over 1200m at this track, getting home by 5 lengths. Has the speed to be prominent. Best form puts him right in this. LINGUS ROCHER (9) went fast early over 1200m at this track last time and dug deep to score by 1.5 lengths. Going up a level this time but he deserves plenty of thought. ZEPHYR AILE (7) was in commission last time out but disappointed in finishing fourth over 1400m at Urawa, beaten 6 lengths. Suited in this line up and is among the better hopes. DAISY CAPUCINE (11) produced a good run two starts back to finish second but disappointed last time when out of the placings at this track over the same trip after she had travelled in a rearwards position. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well.
