GOING:

Allowance Race 1200m

Track:      

Slick pace with Zampona finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. WINSTON (13) started at $1.80 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 0.9 lengths at Chukyo over 1200m after being in contention on the bend. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. DANON LYRA (10) is back from a spell of four months. Raced once last campaign and finished third over 1400m at Tokyo. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Among the leading chances. O K DYNA (6) turned in a sound effort last time but found a couple better at Hakodate over 1200m, beaten a long neck. Cherry-ripe now. Is going well this campaign, recording a win and two minor placings from four starts. One of the main contenders. MIXED BERRIES (11) knuckled down strongly to get within 1.4 lengths of the winner in third last start over 1200m at this track. Worth including.
