GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Decent sized field but it lacks any obvious pace. LA LA VANILLE (12) stuck on well when resuming last start to finish third over 800m at Himeji after showing good early speed. Likely improver with bright prospects. FUTURE LIGHT (7) resumes from a spell of four-and-a-half months. Could only manage to finish fourth at the latest run over 1400m at this track. Rates highly and is a strong chance to break through. FULL LIMIT (4) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 6 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1400m at Himeji. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. COMPLEX (9) is yet to break through after six starts but not far off a win. Placed two back then missed the frame but was thereabouts last time over 1400m at Himeji. Will drift back but wind up late. Can feature with the right run.
