GOING:

Allowance Race 1400m

Track:      

Off the inside draw Leo Premiere should bounce straight to the lead and set a solid tempo. DAISY (10) was unwanted in betting when resuming last start but performed beyond expectations when beaten a nose into second over 1600m at Nakayama. Should feature again. DISTANT SKY (3) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt, beaten 5 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time. BEST OF YOU (5) comes here off a break of three-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1400m at Chukyo. Makes plenty of appeal. SUNRISE PLUTO (11) was last at the races when he finished 13th over 1600m at Kyoto on February 16. Has switched to the Akishi Higashida stable. Has found a suitable race and is worth including.
