GOING:

Allowance Race 1800m

Track:      

Strong tempo with Diamond Rain and Iris Lane leading from Combat Pesca and Izu Jo No Hikari. IRIS LANE (9) was unwanted in betting last start but performed beyond expectations when beaten a neck into second over 1800m at this track. Should be prominent from the outset. Will prove tough to beat. DIAMOND RAIN (6) is resuming from a spell of five months and having her first run for the Takatoshi Miyaji yard. Was in the placings when first-up from a spell last campaign at Kyoto over 2400m. Definite winning chance this line-up. ROUGE KAELA (2) finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1800m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths. This is an easier assignment and can take this out. EIGHT STARS (10) has not won for a long while. Last raced on July 13 when beaten 4.5 lengths into seventh at Hakodate over 1800m. Likely improver who should be about the money.
