FUNABASHI   11 Dec 2025
 
GOING:

Race 8 1700m

Track:      

O Shin Scat has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. HOSHINO SUNA (7) went forward last start over 2000m at Ohi and held on well for third, beaten half a length. Enjoys a drop in grade so he is a major player. O SHIN SCAT (3) was well found in the betting last time out but could only manage to finish fifth over 2000m at Urawa in a disappointing performance. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. TECHNO DIAMOND (11) could only manage tenth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1700m at this track, beaten only a neck after being in contention on the turn. Likely improver with strong prospects. GREAT FURIOSO (2) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 2000m at Kawasaki. Should be figuring again.
