GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track: HEAVY      

Moderate tempo with Knight Star Lily leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. EXMEDI DIA (2) was thereabouts last time out when second at this track over 1400m, beaten 1.5 lengths. Should be at his peak now. Sure to go well. COBALT SKY (5) lifted strongly to score two back then was prominent in the run last time before finishing fifth over 1500m at this track. Kohei Katsurayama sticks. Sure to run well. RED FELICE (7) was on speed for much of the way over this course and distance last time but weakened late to finish sixth, beaten 6 lengths. Bold showing expected. SOUTH SEA PEARL (3) is yet to break through after 32 starts but not far off a win. Placed two back then missed the frame but was thereabouts last time over 1400m at this track. Will drift back but wind up late. Can feature with the right run.
