FUNABASHI   10 Dec 2025
 
GOING: G

Race 5 1000m

Track: GOOD      

Off the low draw Eternal Wind should lead at a genuine tempo. HYOI ZABURO (8) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish sixth, beaten 5.5 lengths, over 1000m at this track. Likely to measure up. ETERNAL WIND (3) finished ninth last start over 1000m at Monbetsu after racing on the pace for much of the way. Will be on the speed in transit and is expected to take some running down. VIORNA (10) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 4 lengths away in second over 1000m at this track. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. LOTO KAGURA (14) was responsible for a better run last start, beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth over 1400m at Urawa. Well placed to bounce back.
