GOING: G

Allowance Race 1400m

Track: FIRM      

Expecting Asakusa Venus to take up the running with Hakusan Eagle and Inception close at hand. ASAKUSA VENUS (12) was prominent from the outset when fourth over 1600m at this track last time out. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Expected to be in the finish. SCENT MEMORIES (8) resumes after a break of seven months. Did win at her only other first-up run when on debut, scoring over 1200m at Fukushima. One of the genuine hopes in the race. EFFORTLESS (5) was a narrow winner last time over 1400m here with today's rider Yutaro Nonaka aboard. Nice weight drop so he is one of the main contenders. HAKUSAN EAGLE (3) finished a 9 length 11th when resuming last start over 1400m at this venue. Has never missed the frame second up and can do better this time.
