GOING: S

Race 4 1400m

Track: SOFT      

Lavender Macaron to take charge ahead of Sei Parel at a good tempo. FIREBALL (7) finished ninth over 1500m at this track at his most recent appearance on February 5. Expect him to play a major role. LAVENDER MACARON (3) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 6 lengths when ninth in a 1500m contest at this track five weeks ago. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. CHESTNUT DRESS (8) showed little early speed and was always well back last start when tenth, beaten 19 lengths, over this journey at Urawa. Can improve. CHIARA BONHEUR (5) could only manage to finish 13th, beaten 10 lengths, at her latest appearance over 1500m at this track. Appeals as a top-four contender.
