GOING:

Allowance Race 1600m

Track:      

A solid tempo is anticipated with Blueberry Fizz and Rhein Artemis kicking up to hold out the next wave. LAKE CRESCENT (4) wound up strongly last time out to finish half a length adrift in second over 1600m at this track. Has a decent record at this track with three minor placings from four runs. Right in this. ALLMENDHUBEL (14) turned in a strong run two starts ago in stakes class at Nakayama then failed to back it up over 1800m in stakes class at this track last time, beaten 6 lengths into tenth. Freshened for this so should be in the finish. EMPEROR'S SWORD (3) improved last time out, finishing a neck from the winner in second at the end of 1600m at this track after being prominent at the corner. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. BUMBLEBEE (10) accounted for a maiden field over 1600m at this track last start, finishing 1.75 lengths ahead of the nearest rival. Re-unites with Hironobu Tanabe who was on board last start. Harder task ahead this time but can measure up.
