GOING:

Allowance Race 1800m

Track:      

Win Verano, Nettaiya Rai and Nice Play Ask can set the pace. COZZOLINO (2) returns from a layoff of ten weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1800m at Nakayama. Only unplaced run was in Grade 2 company. Anticipating a bright start to this prep. NETTAIYA RAI (10) returns after a spell of three months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 2000m at Hanshin. Looks a winning chance. TAIKI RUGGERO (1) resumes after a break of three-and-a-half months. Did win at his only other first-up run when on debut, scoring over 1800m at Kyoto. Winning chance while fresh. NICE PLAY ASK (9) is a promising type who hasn't raced since finishing 7 lengths away in 12th over 1600m at Listed level at Nakayama on March 14. Has the speed to overcome the draw. Deserves respect on best figures.
