GOING: G

Allowance Race 1600m

Track: FIRM      

Mozu Antares to take up the running with Lalibela and Success Ai close at hand. SUCCESS AI (4) is back at the races for the first time since January 27. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1600m at Hanshin. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. DAMIER (7) doesn't win very often but ran a strong race last time out over 1600m at Hanshin, finishing second and beaten a nose when he worked home well. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. PRINCE KNOT (2) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at Hanshin, finishing fourth and only 1.4 lengths from the winner at the end of 1600m. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. MOZU ANTARES (6) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 5.5 lengths away in tenth over 1200m at Hanshin Dirt. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
