GOING:

Race 5 820m

Track:      

Expecting a strong gallop with God Amavel and Allenatore taking up the running over Meisho Koran. GOD AMAVEL (4) showed early speed from an outside draw last time to lead throughout and score by 1.3 lengths over 820m at this track. Has a fine record here with five wins from eight starts. Expected to be in the finish. ALLENATORE (7) turned in a fine effort to win by 5 lengths at today's track and distance last time out to build on a solid first-up result. Key runner. MEISHO KORAN (5) was quickly into stride over 820m at this track last time and defied all challengers to score by one length. Finds a tougher race but another big run will not surprise. HOKUZAN CHOUCHOU (2) was comfortably accounted for when fifth last time out over 820m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. One of the main hopes.
