Allowance Race 1800m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Expecting a strong pace headed by Bel Soteira, Riposino and Tierra Reina. BEL SOTEIRA (4) is back from a spell of three-and-a-half months and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt. Course and distance placed and off the low draw will take catching. CLEMATIS (14) resumes. Wasn't far away at the only run last time in work, finishing sixth over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt ten weeks ago. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Best form puts her right in this. TIERRA REINA (8) impressed when successful as favourite on debut over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt six-and-a-half months ago and has not raced since. Has upside and looks a key runner. ACORN DREAM (11) returned from a spell five weeks ago when she was beaten 4.5 lengths into fifth over 1700m at Kokura Dirt. Strips fitter and can turn things around.
