GOING:

Allowance Race 1200m

Track:      

A solid tempo is anticipated with Counter Seven and Spirit Rise kicking up to hold out the next wave. MIXED BERRIES (9) improved last start to finish third over 1200m at this track after being prominent at the turn. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. MAC AN LUIN (8) returned from a spell five weeks ago when he was beaten 6 lengths into fifth over 1200m at this track. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. HIRABOKU CARRERA (6) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1200m at Hanshin, clocking in 1.75 lengths from the winner. Capable of playing a big role. SPIRIT RISE (3) ran a better race last start, finishing 4 lengths away in sixth over 1200m at Kokura. Better than recent efforts suggest.
