FUKUSHIMA   24 Nov 2025
 
GOING:

BANDAISAN TOKUBETSU 2600m

Track: STANDARD      

Plenty of pressure with Delicieux, Win Liberation and My Family leading the charge. RED VARIATO (13) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 2400m at Tokyo, beaten 3.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. This looks a sterner test than last time but with added fitness he is good enough to take this out. CALMING LIGHTS (4) is back at the races for the first time since August 3. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 2600m at Hakodate. Capable of playing a major role. MY FAMILY (9) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 2600m at this track, beaten 4 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Has a fair record when second up, including two top-three finishes. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is fitter and worth serious consideration. DOVER BRIGHT (11) was just fair when resuming from a spell last start over 2000m at Tokyo, beaten 4.5 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Strips fitter and should be thereabouts.
