FUNABASHI   13 Mar 2025
 
GOING: S

Race 4 1500m

Track: SOFT      

Genuine tempo with Brightia Vera leading the way. BRIGHTIA VERA (7) is a two-start maiden who looks close to a win after placing at both runs, the latest when second over 1500m at this track. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Will prove tough to beat. PROUD PARK (3) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 8 lengths when fourth over 1500m at this track four weeks ago. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. MIHONO HAYATE (8) finished 5 lengths away in eighth last time out over 1200m at this track four weeks ago. Steps up in distance today. Can play a big role. HAKUAI RAGAZZA (9) is a six-start maiden who finished 11th, beaten 11 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at this track. Will derive great benefit from that outing and deserves consideration.
