GOING:

Allowance Race 1600m

Track: FIRM      

Daisy should have enough pace to lead a low-pressure contest. GIFTED (11) made a strong late bid but just failed to pick up the winner when fresh from a spell last start over 1600m at Tokyo. Sure to derive great benefit from that run. Ready to go one better. BLUEBERRY FIZZ (10) ran below expectations when fresh from a spell at Tokyo over 1600m last time, finishing 11th and beaten 5.5 lengths. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. REIGNING (7) is a talented colt who tackled a tougher race at his last run on May 4 and finished 13th behind Readiness over 2000m at Listed level at Tokyo. Finds the right race to make his mark. BRUSCAMENTE (5) looks to kick off this prep the way she ended the last five months ago when she scored over 1600m at Nakayama. Everything points to a big run.
