FUNABASHI   31 Aug 2025
 
GOING: G

Race 7 1200m

Track: GOOD     True  

Pace genuine with Brightia Buena and Masano Hero pressing hard closely followed by Bitcoin and Harmony Roi. KINGSBURY (4) lines up for the hat-trick after a strong win last time over 1200m at this track, scoring by 3 lengths. Likely to measure up again. MASANO HERO (6) returns from a spell of nine weeks. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when seventh over 1150m at Fukushima Dirt. Lining up today for the first time for trainer Satoshi Saito. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Expected to be in the finish. SYNERGY EFFECT (1) wound up strongly last time out to finish a neck adrift in second over 1200m at this track. Backmarker who gets home hard. Will be picking them up late. HARMONY ROI (8) comes here off a break of nine months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1200m at this track. Has to be respected.
