GOING:

Allowance Race 1200m

Track:      

T Ramirez and Amber Needle can be prominent. B B EFFORT (10) has not been sighted since she scored over 1200m at Chukyo on March 30. Lightly raced filly who progressed nicely in the maiden prep. This race sets up well for her. AMBER NEEDLE (12) ran below expectations last time at Niigata, finishing ninth and beaten 4 lengths starting at $5.60. Has started twice at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Likely improver with strong prospects. KEEP SIGN ON (2) was last at the races when he finished 14th over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt on April 13. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. ATRIUM CHAPEL (7) has not won for a long while. Last raced on June 14 when beaten 8 lengths into fourth at Tokyo Dirt over 1400m. Suitably placed so anticipating a bold performance.
