GOING:

Allowance Race 1800m

Track:      

A solid tempo on the cards with Two M Khronos heading them off. HEART METEOR (7) returned to winning form as favourite last start, scoring by 4 lengths over today's journey at Hakodate. Has a good record at this trip with a win and two placings. In form and should go well again. CON FORZA (2) is a promising type who hasn't raced since finishing 7 lengths away in seventh over 2000m at Listed level at Hanshin on March 22. Has a strong fresh record including a win and one minor placing. Leading contender on best figures. SPIN THE BLOOD (4) wound up strongly only to just miss last start over 1800m at Hakodate. Has race fitness on his side now. Placed to advantage and can take this out. SHINZEN KAGA (10) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1800m at Hakodate, beaten 5.5 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out.
