NAKAYAMA   05 Apr 2025
 
GOING: G

Allowance Race 1600m

Track:      

Pace genuine with Meisho Yozora and Metal Speed pressing hard closely followed by Anitra and Sublime. CON TENEREZZA (8) ran below expectations when fresh from a spell at Tokyo over 1800m last time, finishing 11th and beaten 6 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Won at both appearances last prep so she has the talent. Expect a big run this time. MEISHO YOZORA (4) resumes in a similar race to her only run last prep ten weeks ago when she scored by 2.5 lengths. Has the speed to be prominent. Sure to be in the finish. METAL SPEED (13) made progress last time out, finishing 2.5 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1600m at this track after being prominent at the corner. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. MANWOL (3) resumes. Only appeared once last prep back on January 11 when fourth, beaten 3 lengths. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
