KOKURA   29 Jun 2024
 
GOING: G

Allowance Race 1800m

Track: MUDDY      

Slick tempo with Dance Famous to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. KAZU MIKULASE (6) returns from a layoff of 12 weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1800m at Kyoto. Looks a winning chance. ECORO MARS (12) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1600m at Kyoto after being prominent from the outset. Should race just off the speed despite the wide draw. Anticipating another big run. KURINO ADVANCE (8) last appeared when he got the cash over 2000m at Chukyo on March 17. One to consider. PACIFIC ROUTE (1) resumes after a break of three-and-a-half months. Won on debut to launch the last campaign over 2000m at Kyoto. Worth plenty of thought.
