GOING: G

Allowance Race 1400m

Track: FIRM      

Solid tempo from And I Love Her, Siegrune and Aphelion battling for the lead in a high-pressure contest. AND I LOVE HER (5) is a progressive three-year-old filly who resumes from a break of four months, her last appearance being a win over 1600m at Nakayama. Strong fresh performer who will prove tough to beat. NICHOLAUS (1) is a promising type who hasn't raced since finishing 4 lengths away in fourth over 1600m at Nakayama on March 2. Comes to hand quickly and is likely to feature. MORINO RED STAR (4) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when 4 lengths away in sixth over 1600m at Nakayama after being prominent at the turn. Nicely placed to turn things around. KAITO GUT (11) was in the firing line on the corner and finished third last time over 1600m at Nakayama when resuming from a spell, beaten 1.3 lengths. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish.
