FUKUSHIMA   12 Apr 2025
 
GOING: G

Allowance Race 2600m

Track:      

Good pace expected with Legend Ship, Herz As and Silent Groove paving the way. CAELUM (7) turned in a good performance last time over 2400m at Hanshin, finishing 3.5 lengths from the winner in fifth. Yet to miss the placings at this trip. Capable of taking this out. WEISER BARCO (3) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing third last time when he was in the firing line all the way over 2500m at Nakayama. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. SILENT GROOVE (5) finished 6 lengths away in sixth last time out over 2000m at Kokura when first up from a spell. Steps up in distance today. Should park just off the speed. Will be in this for a long way. OR DU SOUVERAIN (4) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 2600m at Kokura, beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth. Finds a nice race and can atone.
