More Reason

9:31 p.m. I didn't make any mistakes with the documents this time and overall, work went well. Hopefully my betting result would, too.

The barriers have been drawn. From the lineup of the horses, Cosmo Fliegen might be the fastest to take the lead. Due to the layout of the course, which has a long straight before entering the corner, the pace could vary from average to slow depending on Cosmo Fliegen. Generally, riders on runaways try to keep the pace at average to make the horses in the back use more stamina than they should. Whether Daichi chooses that plan or not, though is uncertain.

Energico has apparently drawn an outer post where he could run the undamaged part of the turf course. It gives him all the more reason to be favored.
