FUNABASHI   23 Jan 2026
 
GOING: G

Race 8 1200m

Track: GOOD     True  

Fast pace with Adarmalik showing out and Surreal crossing to apply some pressure. TOKUSHI ODIN (7) gave a bold display over this course and distance last start, racing on the speed and boxing on well to finish second. Placed to advantage and can take this out. SURREAL (12) boxed on to finish second last start over 1200m at this track, beaten one length. Expect another forward display. ADARMALIK (4) was second up last start and went close, beaten 0.6 lengths into third at this track over 1200m. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Sure to be competitive. HO O HANABI (3) missed the frame last start over 1200m at this track, finishing fifth. No surprise to see her in the mix here.
