GOING:

Race 4 1500m

Track:      

A solid tempo is anticipated with Long Tone and Taiki Vier Liebe kicking up to hold out the next wave. TAIKI VIER LIEBE (3) raced on the speed last start and battled on well but found one better here. Katsuto Maruno stays aboard. Among the leading chances. LAZHWARD LAPIS (12) finished fourth at her last appearance over 1500m at this track on November 26. Rates highly in this field and can turn things around. SWEEP REGINA (10) is yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a spell be should be nearing a peak effort now and is capable of sharp improvement. KASUMIZUKI (1) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third here. Is another who is in the mix.
