FUNABASHI   10 Dec 2025
 
GOING: G

Race 6 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Good pace from Stern, Ortus Glow and Make Sense. MAKE SENSE (11) was always forward and boxed on to finish second over 1200m at this track last time. Masashige Honda stays on. Fitter and is expected to feature. AMOUR PISCES (5) resumes after a break of four months. Looking to emulate his debut win over 1000m at this track to kick off last prep. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. OISHI FUJINO HANA (10) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 1200m at this track, scoring by a head. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Shaping up nicely and he is right in the mix again. GEOPARK LOVE (8) will strip fitter for this after running below expectations first-up at this track, finishing fifth and beaten 12 lengths over 1500m. Well placed to atone.
