GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

Pace genuine with Allure Reve and A Shin La Seine pressing hard closely followed by Riko Super and T K Sona Sapo. ALLURE REVE (5) is in sparkling form, scoring at his last five starts, the latest win coming over 1400m at this track. Same track and trip and looks tough to beat again. COPA KATSU (8) is in top form lately scoring two wins on end, including a determined 0.8 lengths win over 1400m at this track last time. Looks a genuine threat again here. IZA GREEN LIGHT (7) finished adrift in eighth last time at this track in a disappointing performance. Won't find this as tough so he can feature. RIKO SUPER (9) finished fourth over 1700m at this track at her most recent appearance on January 9. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
