GOING: G

Race 4 1400m

Track: GOOD      

Strong pace from Tomisan Pegasus and Palermo Flavor matching motors with Pole Pole close at hand. DEKOPIN (4) showed good early dash at the first run after a spell last time out and led for most of the way before being claimed and finishing 1.5 lengths away in second over 1400m at this track. Will take catching. PALERMO FLAVOR (9) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by a head over 1400m at this track. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. TOMISAN PEGASUS (7) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 3 lengths back in fourth over 1400m at Kawasaki. Must be included among the main hopes. M T LILAS (6) has struggled to recapture her best form in two runs, the latest when 11th over 1500m at this track. Well placed in this line up and could challenge for a minor placing this time.
