GOING:

Allowance Race 1200m

Track: FIRM      

Strong tempo from Amber Needle, Gatto Nero and Iris Azul. Amber Needle, Gatto Nero and Iris Azul can set a strong tempo. MEINER RUSH (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at Nakayama, beaten 4.5 lengths into fifth. Finds an easier assignment and looks the testing material. AMBER NEEDLE (11) is back from a break of three-and-a-half months. Raced below par at his only appearance last prep when eighth over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Expecting a bold showing. PEACEFUL NIGHT (4) finished second last time over 1200m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Racing well and in this ordinary contest has bright prospects. GATTO NERO (9) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when eighth over 1200m at Chukyo. Placed to advantage so expect a better effort.
