GOING:

Allowance Race 1400m

Track: FIRM      

Expect a genuine pace with plenty of speed engaged. SKY HIGH (7) put the writing on the wall last start and was beaten just half a length into second over 1400m at Hanshin. Will enjoy the drop in grade so he is likely to play a big role. KHALEESI (5) has been thereabouts without winning, the latest offering a fourth over 1200m at Nakayama. Lemaire taking the reins is significant. Should be prominent again. SYSTEM REBOOT (10) hit the frame when resuming two runs back at Hanshin but couldn't back it up last start when 11th, beaten 12 lengths, over 1400m at Chukyo after being in contention on the bend. Finds a more suitable contest and can get the job done. PIKO ARGYLE (9) battled away fairly last time when second over 1200m at Nakayama. Won his only start at this longer journey and is one of the chances.
