FUNABASHI   10 Mar 2026
 
GOING: G

Race 4 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Cause A Spike and Mon Bijou to take up the running at a genuine tempo. MON BIJOU (8) finished seventh when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1200m at this track, beaten 2 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. CAUSE A SPIKE (6) is yet to break through in four runs. Finished sixth at his last appearance over 1200m at this track on February 10. This looks a nice race so expect him to be right in the finish. MY BELIEVE (7) was in a rearwards position on the turn last time out before finishing 9 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1200m at this track. Finds the right race and is worth consideration. MAONO HEIDI (4) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1200m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
