GOING:

Allowance Race 2000m

Track:      

Her Excellency to roll forward and dictate terms. FAIRYLIKE (6) was well held in the Tulip Sho (1000 Guineas Trial) won by Kurino Mei over 1600m at Hanshin at her last appearance five months ago. Will appreciate this easier race. LULU LIMA (8) went to the paddock after scoring at her last appearance three-and-a-half months ago over 2000m at Fukushima. One of the genuine hopes in the race. ISOLE EOLIE (4) started at $3.30 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 4 lengths at Hakodate over 2600m after being in contention on the corner. Perfectly placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. SONIC DRIVE (7) returned from a spell three weeks ago when she was beaten 4 lengths into fifth over 1800m at Hakodate. Fitter this time will prove harder to beat.
