GOING:

Race 4 1500m

Track:      

Without an obvious leader it's likely Daiyu Graf could find herself in front. POLARSTERN (10) missed the placings when seventh over 2600m at Sapporo. Finds easier and has the talent to figure prominently. AMBASSADOR (12) has missed the frame at his last couple of outings, the latest when ninth over 1700m at Sapporo Dirt. Has struggled on the JRA circuit recently but is better placed here. GRAND FUTURE (9) finished out of the placings last time when 12th over 1800m at Sapporo. Should be in the finish in this weaker race. POLARISE (1) was never in contention last time over 1400m at Sonoda when he finished tenth. No surprise if he figured in the finish here.
