FUNABASHI   10 Mar 2026
 
GOING: G

Race 6 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Symboli Light, Shingun Armet and Pod Beau all possess good speed. SYMBOLI LIGHT (11) has won four from seven and is unbeaten in two runs this preparation, including a track and distance victory last start. Hard to go past on recent form. S K CAT (7) did well to score at this track two runs ago. Decent effort last time out when second over 1200m at this track, beaten 2 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot make amends. RHEIN ARTEMIS (4) returned last time with a solid third at Urawa over 800m. Nicely placed to go a couple better. TOKUSHI ODIN (2) was well fancied on the back of a couple of minor placings but could only manage sixth last start over 1200m at this track. Worth noting Yuki Yamanaka is the change of rider. Yet to win this track and distance but has recorded three minor placings from four attempts. Solid claims on best form.
