GOING:

Race 6 820m

Track:      

Expecting Allenatore to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. SATONO MINERVA (3) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 820m at this track after being in the firing line all the way. Drawn for a nice run just off the speed. Likely improver with strong prospects. ALLENATORE (8) returned last time with a solid second at this track over 820m after being prominent at the bend. Ready to go one better. RYUNO HINAKO (6) finished tenth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 820m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. MOSHO (12) ran below expectations last start, finishing eighth and beaten 7 lengths at this track over 820m. Finds a nice race and can make amends.
