GOING: G

Allowance Race 1800m Track: STANDARD
Plenty of pace with Elf Struck and Cosmo Buddleja leading from Maruka Opera. ELF STRUCK (13) raced on the speed when resuming last start and battled on well but found one better over 2000m at this track. Top chance in a nice race for her. Grade 3 placegetter COSMO BUDDLEJA (4) is a talented colt who tackled a tougher race at his last run on April 27 and finished seventh behind Sugar Kun over 2400m in the G2 TV Tokyo Hai Aoba Sho (Japanese Derby Trial). Drawn to enjoy a good run on the speed. Likely to feature. HO O PUROSANGUE (1) finished 11th over 2000m in the G1 Satsuki Sho (Japanese 2000 Guineas) at Nakayama at his most recent appearance on April 14. Looks one of the genuine hopes in this company. MARUKA OPERA (2) scored two back at Hakodate but was below her best last time when seventh over 1800m at the same venue. Well placed to turn things around.

First up last campaign seventh of 10 at Hanshin in the LR February 24 over 2200m, 6 len behind Sunrise Earth with 57.0kg at $7.20. Should be right in the finish.	1 YUJI HISHIDA
