GOING:

Allowance Race 1400m

Track: GOOD      

Slick tempo with Kitten In The Sky to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. TAGANO ENFANT (9) was doing his best work late last start to get up for second over 1200m at Hanshin. Sure to be putting in the big strides late again. VIRGIL (8) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1400m at Hanshin. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MONTALCINO (6) is a talented colt who was well held last time out in the tougher won by Lance Of Chaos over 1600m at Hanshin, beaten 10 lengths into tenth. Big chance in this class. WINSTON (4) produced a better run last start, beaten 2.5 lengths into fourth over 1400m at Hanshin. Better than recent efforts suggest.
