KYOTO   12 Oct 2025
 
GOING: G

Allowance Race 1600m

Track: FIRM      

Strong tempo with La Trace driving forward, while Mikki Stardom and Large Gallery pressure. ONE MORE SMILE (17) is back from a spell. Raced once last campaign and finished second over 1800m at Kokura. This is the easiest race he's contested for a long while and looks the one to beat. LA TRACE (15) is a promising type who scored at his last run before a break over 1800m at Kokura. Has never been out of the placings from five starts. Yuga Kawada stays on. Drawn out but likely to feature. SHAYKH (13) has not appeared since he scored over 1600m at Hanshin on March 30. Promising colt and can go on to better things this campaign. G T MAN (14) has not appeared since he finished seventh over 1600m at Hanshin on April 5. Won on debut then subsequent three starts have been in stakes grades. Gets chance to find form.
