GOING:

Allowance Race 2000m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Tenter De Vivre and Jeronimos pressing for the lead. Moderate race and impossible to go past TENTER DE VIVRE (7). Recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 1800m at Fukushima, scoring by one length. Big win fresh and has upside. Expected to make it back to back wins. SARAKOSTH (4) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on February 28, finishing eighth and beaten 9 lengths over 2600m at Kokura. Has ability and should be right in the finish. JERONIMOS (6) finished third at Kokura two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 2000m at Fukushima, finishing 10 lengths back in 12th after being in the firing line on the turn. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. REY DE LA TIERRA (5) last appeared when he finished 11th over 2400m at this track on January 18. Has to be respected.
