GOING:

Allowance Race 1600m

Track:      

Plenty of pace with Bourbon Queen and Elsa To Anna up front, pressured by Isola Felice and Sakura Aura. JAZZALDIA (2) found the line nicely last start to get up for third over 1600m at Tokyo when returning from a break. Commendable record at this trip with a win and three minor placings and will be ready to run a big race today. RONDE BOSSE (10) finished out of the money but was not too far away when resuming last start over 1400m at Chukyo. Has never missed the frame when second-up. Solid top-three chance. SAKURA AURA (6) has not won for a long while. Last raced on March 28 when beaten 3 lengths into seventh at Chukyo over 1400m. Tackling a more suitable race this time so she is a major player. BOURBON QUEEN (8) made some progress last start to finish sixth over 1400m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Stepping up in distance this time and is capable of further improvement.
