FUNABASHI   01 Aug 2025
 
GOING: G

Race 6 1200m

Track: GOOD     True  

In the absence of noted leaders, Corn Tops and Heroic Bio may be the ones to set a moderate tempo. CORN TOPS (8) turned in a fine effort to win by 3 lengths at today's track and distance last start in a much improved run. Finds another suitable race and can maintain winning form. STAR GUTS MAN (6) ran a nice race last time out over 1200m at this track, finishing second. Racing well recently and can go on with it. WINDHOSE (4) found one better last start at this track over this distance. Has a very good record over today's journey with 11 wins from 19 starts. Masashige Honda who has scored on him 10 times retains the mount. Certainly one to consider. MANDALAY (5) improved last start but found a couple better over 1200m at this track. Solid top-three chance.
