GOING: G

Allowance Race 1400m

Track: STANDARD      

Plenty of early pace with Namura Eden and Cranford to vie for the lead, pressured by Last Christmas and World Series. CRANFORD (8) is a talented filly who tackled a tougher race at her last run on February 25 and finished seventh behind Nanao over 1200m in Listed grade at Hanshin. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Best figures should see her run well. POETRY (10) has been freshened up since finishing 11th on March 10 over 1400m in the G2 Hochi Hai Fillies Revue (1000 Guineas Trial) at Hanshin. Can bounce back. LILA BONITO (2) did well to score at Hanshin two runs ago. Fair effort last time out when fourth over 1600m at Hanshin, beaten 2.25 lengths. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. DEL CIELO (4) resumes after a break of four months. Won on debut to launch the last campaign over 1600m at Hanshin. Sound prospects.
