KYOTO   20 Apr 2024
 
GOING: G

Allowance Race 1800m

Track: FIRM      

Genuine tempo from Ton Jin Chi leading Yumewa Hateshinaku. NAVONA (3) last appeared when fifth over 1600m at Tokyo six-and-a-half months ago. Finished just four lengths from the winner in a Grade 1 last May. Makes plenty of appeal. TON JIN CHI (7) was last at the races when she finished 11th over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt on September 30. Now under the care of new trainer Yuichi Fukunaga. Looks a winning chance. ALENTEJO (6) missed the placings first up recently but was not too far from the winner when sixth over 1800m at Hanshin. Usually performs well with that run under his belt. Reunites with Atsuya Nishimura. One of the contenders. YUMEWA HATESHINAKU (9) finished tenth over 2000m at this track at his most recent appearance on February 3. Among the better hopes on his best form.
