GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

Strong tempo with Felsite and Right Fielder leading the way over Princess Knight. RIGHT FIELDER (4) broke through for a win last start when second up from a spell, scoring by half a length over 1600m at Mizusawa. Improvement in store so he looks the testing material. FELSITE (7) is a six-time winner who has been performing well, finishing third last time out over 1400m at Mizusawa. Races well here and expected to figure in the finish. PRINCESS KNIGHT (3) missed the placings last time out over this distance at Mizusawa, beaten 5.5 lengths. Excellent record here having never missed the placings in five starts, including three wins and two placings. One of the leading contenders. KATSUGEKI DAIO (1) knuckled down strongly to get within a nose of the winner in second last start over 1400m at Mizusawa. Will drift back but wind up late. Sure to be competitive.
