KOKURA   13 Aug 2022
 
GOING: G

Allowance Race 1800m

Track: FIRM   Fine    

Keen early pace with T O Soros, June Rainbow and Accueillir locking horns. MATENRO YELL (2) returns from a spell of 11 weeks. Hasn't scored when fresh from a break but generally races well with two minor placings. Well placed here and from the nice gate should be in the finish. IN THE OVATION (4) was well held over 2000m at Hanshin at her last appearance four months ago. Reunites with Kouta Fujioka who has a win when partnering. Sound fresh performer who is expected to be in the finish. MIKKI FLOGA (8) is back from a spell of 12 weeks. Scored a determined win at his final run last preparation at Chukyo over 1600m. Should park just off the speed and is capable of testing this field. T O SOROS (15) raced below par at his last appearance three-and-a-half months ago when sixth over 2200m at Niigata. Will be handy in the run despite the tricky draw. Solid claims on best form. Last start maiden winner JUNE RAINBOW (14) has some work to do from a wide gate but is not to be discounted.
