GOING:

Allowance Race 1800m

Track: FIRM      

Looks to be plenty of pace with Teleos Sarah and Blueberry Fizz battling for the lead. BEST ME EVER (2) returns from a layoff of three-and-a-half months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 2000m at Niigata. Has good speed and expected to take running down. PRIMZAHL (5) was heavily backed and justified the support when resuming last start over 1600m at Nakayama, scoring by 2.5 lengths. Open to plenty of improvement and this looks well within her grasp. ITOKAWA SAKURA (3) was out of the money first-up but has since placed two on end and looks close to a win, the latest effort a third over 1800m at Hanshin. Looks tough to stop. MEISTERWERK (6) resumes. Wasn't far away at the only run last time in work, finishing sixth over 1800m at Fukushima 11 weeks ago. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
