FUNABASHI   31 Jul 2025
 
GOING: G

Race 4 1800m

Track: GOOD     True  

A solid tempo is anticipated with Overmaster and Las Jun kicking up to hold out the next wave. LAS JUN (8) has been racing well this preparation, scoring last start over 1600m at this track to make it four wins from eight runs this time in. Should camp just off the leaders. Leading contender. DAITA JUSTICE (1) progressed nicely last time out to finish just half a length from the winner in second over 1800m at this track after being prominent at the turn. Likely improver with strong prospects. MADNESS KAZU (3) turned in a sound effort last time but found a couple better at this track over 1800m, beaten one length. Sure to go well. PRESTO MULAN (7) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing fifth and beaten 1.75 lengths. Nicely placed to bounce back.
