FUNABASHI   10 Mar 2026
 
GOING: G

Race 5 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Good pace from Sun Snow White, Grand Milton and Nishino Cocktail going forward. ARABIAN PALACE (5) returns from a spell of 14 months and did win first-up last time in work over 1200m at this track. Comes to hand quickly so a bold showing is expected. GRAND MILTON (6) found one marginally better last start over 1200m at this track after being prominent throughout. Likely improver with strong prospects. L'ETOILE D'AMOUR (10) finished fourth last time out over 1200m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Sure to measure up. DYNAMITE BULL (12) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at Kawasaki, finishing fourth and only 2 lengths from the winner at the end of 900m. Sure to be thereabouts.
