From the wide gate Lady Pegasus can cross and lead a race without a great deal of pace on paper. WAKAMIYA ILIOS (5) returns from a spell of four months and did win first-up last time in work over 1400m at Himeji. Expected to go very well. MAIDENHEAD (3) started at $8.80 last time and ran below expectations, finishing sixth at this track over 1400m. In a suitable race and can play a major role. AKKESHI (4) missed the frame last start when he was always well out of his ground over 1400m at this track, finishing ninth. Finds a nice race and can feature in the finish. TAURUS KING (8) finished second last time over 1400m at this track when resuming from a spell. Will trim down second-up. Sure to be thereabouts.
