GOING: G

Allowance Race 1400m

Track: STANDARD      

No place for the faint-hearted with Haleakala Hula and Porte D'or getting along early. CALLING YOU (8) was last at the races when she finished second over 1200m at Kokura on March 2. Now under the care of new trainer Taiki Chaki. Goes well fresh and will be tough to hold out. SOUND LAYLA (12) turned in a good performance last time over 1200m at Fukushima, finishing 1.75 lengths from the winner in third after she was always up in the leading division. Won't be bothered by this longer journey. Among the leading chances. SATONO WILLE (14) last appeared when he finished fifth over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt on November 5. Has found the right race and is worth including. HECTOPASCAL (3) returned from a spell eight weeks ago when she was beaten 1.3 lengths into sixth over 1400m at Chukyo. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
