GOING:

Allowance Race 2400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo anticipated with good speed engaged. EDEL KRONE (8) is a promising type who finished hard to get up for second over 2200m at Nakayama at his last appearance on March 1. Has been in the placings first up from two tries. Christophe Lemaire sticks so he looks ready for a bright return. OSTRAVA (3) lifted strongly but just failed to pick up the winner when first-up last start over 2000m at Nakayama. Will strip a lot fitter this time around. Looms as a genuine threat. HO O ATMAN (6) is coming off a last-start sixth, beaten 1.5 lengths, over 2400m at this track. Going well and should play a major role. DANON GIAN (5) started this prep with a win then produced a fair effort last time out when fourth over 2200m at Nakayama, beaten 3 lengths. Solid top-three prospects.
