Allowance Race 1600m

Track:      

A solid tempo is anticipated with Malibu Orange and Matenro Son kicking up to hold out the next wave. BAILEYCHLORE (7) returned from a spell eight weeks ago when he was beaten 7 lengths into fifth over 1800m at Kyoto. Strips fitter and can take care of this field. MATENRO SON (6) resumes after a break of five-and-a-half months. Won on debut to launch the last campaign over 1800m at Sapporo. Makes plenty of appeal. CELLS POWER (2) is a talented colt who tackled tougher grade last time, finishing 7 lengths behind Fandom over 1800m in the G3 Mainichi Hai at this track. Nicely placed and can feature on his best form. GO GO TAKASHI (11) ran a better race last start, finishing 2.25 lengths away in fourth over 1800m at Nakayama. Finds a nice race and can atone.
