Allowance Race 2000m

Track: YIELDING      

Solid tempo anticipated with Pastorale heading them off. BEST ME EVER (6) resumes today after filling a minor placing at her only appearance last prep at this track over 1800m on February 23. Has found the frame at all five visits to this track, including a win. Will prove tough to beat. DUAL WIELDER (1) closed last prep a year ago when he finished third over 2400m at this track. Profiles nicely. TRUST BOSS (5) knuckled down strongly to get within half a length of the winner in second last start over 2500m at Nakayama. Backmarker who gets home hard. One of the contenders. PASTORALE (3) ran below expectations when fresh from a spell at Fukushima over 2000m last time, finishing fifth and beaten 5.5 lengths. Nicely placed to bounce back.
