FUNABASHI   30 Jun 2024
 
GOING: G

Race 9 1600m

Track: GOOD     True  

Plenty of early pace with Fuku Richard and Hoshino Suna to vie for the lead, pressured by Green Dial and Resolute Sky. GREEN DIAL (4) was well supported when resuming last time out over 1500m at this track and proved too strong, scoring by half a length. Has a strong second-up record and looms as the one to beat again. THRIAMVOS (9) returns today and is on a run of four straight wins, the latest over 1800m at this track on March 5. Yet to be beaten here from four starts. Will be hard to stop. HOSHINO SUNA (8) was well in the market last time and made it two minor placings from as many runs this prep when second over 1600m at this track. Fitter and a solid top-three hope again. FUKU RICHARD (7) sat on the pace last start until tiring to finish fourth over 1600m at this circuit. Yuki Yamanaka who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Solid claims on best form.
