GOING: G

Allowance Race 1400m

Track: FIRM      

Pace a scorcher, headed by Yukimaru, Ambivalent and Flyer True, closely followed by Mahoroba and B I Oracle. YUKIMARU (10) saluted last start at Fukushima Dirt over 1700m after he was in contention on the corner. . Has the pace to settle in the leading division and is sure to be in the finish. ROSE BALSAM (3) opened this campaign last start with a third, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Has a good record at this journey with two wins from seven starts. Key runner. DRIVE A LOCUS (8) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when sixth, beaten 3 lengths, over 1400m at Chukyo Dirt. Should be peaking now and can find his best form this time. FLYER TRUE (1) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1900m at Chukyo Dirt, beaten 7 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Fitter now so expect a better run this time.
