NAKAYAMA DIRT   12 Apr 2025
 
GOING: G

Allowance Race 1200m

Track:      

Strong tempo expected with Model Hunt, Moira and Sharpthorne prominent. AUBE LE COEUR (4) was handy on straightening and went on to finish second last start over 1200m at this track, beaten half a length when fresh from a spell. Looks well placed so expect another forward display. VOLKSLIED (12) returns from a spell. Finished eighth at this track and distance at her only appearance last prep three-and-a-half months ago. Goes very well at this journey, boasting two wins from four starts and is sure to run well. BARONE (11) couldn't have been more impressive first up last start when she scored by 3.5 lengths over 1200m at this track. Will be better for that latest run and is among the leading chances. MAIDEN TOWER (5) returned from a spell six weeks ago when she was in contention on the corner before being beaten 3.5 lengths into seventh over 1200m at this track. Strips fitter and should be thereabouts.
