A Three-Way Showdown Between Primo Python, Freedom, and Master Plan
November 5, 2025 / Updated November 5, 2025
We bring you the forecast for the Kamui Yukara Sprint (A2) held at Funabashi Racecourse on November 6, 2025. The race sets the stage for a showdown: formidable contenders from Kawasaki and Ohi, Primo Python and Freedom, are challenged by Master Plan, who boasts a 100% in-the-money rate on the Funabashi course. We’ll thoroughly analyze three crucial factors—jockey weight differences, course suitability, and final workouts—based on data to predict the race’s outcome.
On Thursday, November 6, 2025, the 11th race at Funabashi Racecourse, the “Kamui Yukara Sprint,” will start at 20:15. This is a selective race for A2 class thoroughbreds, a lightning-fast 1000m dirt sprint (left-handed). Though a small field of 10, it’s packed with specialists.
The Funabashi 1000m dirt course has a short run to the first corner, often favoring inside-drawn front-runners. However, “course suitability” is a far more significant factor on this highly specialized track. The race narrative is clear: a clash of the titans featuring the “away team” of proven contenders from Kawasaki and Ohi, (4) Primo Python and (7) Freedom, against the “local specialist” who knows this track inside and out, (8) Master Plan.
To build a solid forecast for this race, the data points to three crucial factors that will determine the outcome. Let’s break them down.
The biggest challenge is accurately assessing the power balance between the top two contenders, (4) Primo Python and (7) Freedom. They faced off on September 12, 2025, in the “Meikyōshi” race over 900m at Kawasaki, where (4) Primo Python won by 0.2 seconds.
However, the weights carried were 57kg for Primo Python and 52kg for Freedom. Freedom lost despite a 5kg weight advantage. This time, the weight difference shrinks to just “2kg,” giving Primo Python a more favorable condition. Furthermore, Freedom’s weight increases by 4kg after her last open-class win. Overcoming these two challenges will be the key to turning the tables.
Standing in the way of the two powerful visitors is the local Funabashi horse, (8) Master Plan. His record on this course is an astonishing “13-6-6-0,” boasting a 100% in-the-money rate from 25 starts. He is truly a course specialist, the “Funabashi Demon.”
In contrast, Primo Python is winless in four starts at Funabashi, and Freedom has never raced here. While stepping up to the A2 class is a challenge, his absolute home-field advantage is a massive weapon that could easily compensate.
In a sprint where abilities are closely matched, recent condition can be the deciding factor. Let’s compare the readiness of each horse based on training data and stable comments.
Here is a summary of the three key factors—Weight, Course Suitability, and Condition—for the top three contenders. This table provides an at-a-glance view of each horse’s strengths and risks.
| Horse Name | No. | Weight | Funabashi Record | Stable Comment | Recent Workout |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Primo Python | 4 | 57.0kg | 0-0-1-3 (0 wins in 4 starts) | ◎ Peak Condition | Tuned up at training center (11/1) |
| Freedom | 7 | 55.0kg | 0-0-0-0 (First start) | ◎ Exceptional Speed | Maintaining good form (11/2) |
| Master Plan | 8 | 57.0kg | 13-6-6-0 (100% ITM in 25 starts) | ○ Competitive | Sharp movement (11/1) |
Here is a thorough analysis of all 10 runners, integrating all available research data.
Info: 7yo Mare / 52kg (App. K. Kamio)
Analysis: Stable comments are cautious, noting she “lacks her former burst of speed.” While the light weight of 52kg is appealing, a sudden turnaround in the A2 class seems unlikely based on recent performances.
Info: 7yo Gelding / 55kg (M. Michel)
Analysis: This is his second start after a long layoff. The stable expects improvement, and his condition should be on the rise. With a solid JRA record, he has the potential to be competitive if he shows his true ability.
Info: 7yo Mare / 55kg (K. Okamura)
Analysis: The stable is confident, stating “this distance suits her” and “she’s in great shape.” She has a winning record in the lower A2 class, and her good condition and distance suitability make her a contender.
Info: 7yo Horse / 57kg (S. Mikamoto)
Analysis: As the stable comment “◎ In peak condition” suggests, he is at his best. He has already beaten Freedom in a head-to-head matchup, and his 3rd place finish in an S1 race is impressive. He is the top candidate to win again.
Info: 9yo Horse / 57kg (R. Kimatsuka)
Analysis: Despite being 9 years old, he received high praise for his “effortless movement” in training. His late kick in his last race was sharp, and his return to his home Funabashi course is a reason for caution. He could be a surprise factor if the race unfolds in his favor.
Info: 6yo Horse / 53kg (T. Motohashi)
Analysis: Although stepping up from the B2 class, his condition is good. The 53kg weight, 4kg lighter than the top contenders, and the switch to his regular jockey, T. Motohashi, are significant advantages.
Info: 3yo Filly / 55kg (R. Tatsushiro)
Analysis: A 3-year-old filly praised by her stable for “◎ exceptional speed.” She has the most momentum, but the key will be whether she can overcome two hurdles: the “4kg weight increase” and her “first start at Funabashi.”
Info: 6yo Gelding / 57kg (S. Honda)
Analysis: The “Funabashi Demon” with a 100% in-the-money rate on this course. While this is his first attempt in the A2 class, his absolute course suitability makes him a must-consider for the top spots.
Info: 7yo Mare / 50kg (App. K. Sugiyama)
Analysis: Returning from a long layoff, and workout notes suggest she “needs one more gallop,” indicating she’s not fully fit. Her only appeal is the feather-light 50kg weight, making her a difficult horse to back.
Info: 5yo Mare / 53kg (H. Nakano)
Analysis: The stable’s cautious comment of “in a bit of a slump” and light training are concerning. With no strong points in her condition or comments, she faces a tough battle against this higher-class field.
In this report, we have conducted a detailed data-based analysis of the Kamui Yukara Sprint (A2), focusing on three key points: the weight changes for top contenders, the stark difference in course suitability, and the final condition of each horse.
Considering (4) Primo Python’s “peak condition,” (7) Freedom’s “exceptional speed” versus her “weight challenge,” and (8) Master Plan’s “absolute Funabashi advantage,” our final conclusion, top picks (◎○▲△), and recommended bets are available via the link below.▼ Click Here for the Final Predictions ▼
