FUNABASHI   03 Nov 2025
 
GOING: G

Race 6 1500m

Track: GOOD      

Tempo strong with Bouquet De Grace, Come Back and Cheval Noir pushing forward. YODONO TAIYO (6) last appeared seven-and-a-half weeks ago over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt when he finished third. This is his first run for the Takashi Harita stable. May take beating in this suitable assignment. ERYTHEIA (10) is still a maiden after nine starts but managed to find the placings at Niigata Dirt two starts back. Was sixth over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt last start. Can measure up at this level. BOUQUET DE GRACE (9) scored at her most recent appearance, getting home by a neck over 1400m at Sonoda. That continued the good form this campaign, with two wins and three minor placings from six runs. Can feature again. ENZO (12) is hard to knock having recorded three wins and a second in four starts at Kasamatsu since a spell.
