FUNABASHI   01 Oct 2025
 
GOING: G

Race 7 1600m

Track: GOOD     True  

The pace should be on from the outset with Digest, Don't Let Go and Grand Picnic pushing on from their low draws. DON'T LET GO (4) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when eighth and beaten 7 lengths over 1600m at this track after being in the firing line on the corner. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. DIAMO MINORU (3) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at this track. Not as effective last time out when third over 1600m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. SERVE THE MISSION (11) progressed nicely last time out to finish just a neck from the winner in second over 1500m at Kawasaki. Heading the right way and can win. KRENE (10) had been performing well prior to finishing 5.5 lengths from the winner in sixth last start over 1600m at Kawasaki. Better than last start and can bounce back.
