GOING:

Allowance Race 1400m

Track:      

Expecting Bandito to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. VIRGIL (16) finished 12th over 1600m at Kyoto at his most recent appearance on May 24. One of the genuine hopes in the race. CHIMUGUKURU (8) resumes. Wasn't far away at the only run last time in work, finishing fifth over 1400m at Tokyo nine weeks ago. Should park just off the speed. Expected to be in the finish. DISTANT SKY (5) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on 18/05/2025, finishing eighth and beaten 6 lengths over 1200m at Kyoto. Among the better hopes. EXTRA BUCK (6) was in contention on the turn and finished third last start over 1200m at Kokura, beaten a long neck. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race.
