Tokyo   31 May 2025
 
GOING: G

Allowance Race 1400m

Track:      

Plenty of speed engaged with Pod Loire, Daishin Ra and Power Snatch going forward ahead of Fortem and Asakusa Grace. KAZANLAK (1) gets a change of rider and has been freshened up since finishing sixth over 1600m at this track last start when a short-priced favourite. Expected to bounce back. POWER SNATCH (5) ran below expectations last time after being in the firing line on the turn at Nakayama, finishing fifth and beaten 4 lengths starting at $2.80. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time with Lemaire taking over. CHIMUGUKURU (11) closed last prep nine weeks ago when he finished fifth over 1400m at Hanshin. Capable of a bright return. DAISHIN RA (3) lines up for the first time since March 22. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1800m at Kyoto. One to consider.
