GOING: G

Allowance Race 1600m

Track:      

Genuine tempo from Red Stern leading Sexy Marge. GLORY LINK (2) is a progressive three-year-old filly who hasn't raced since finishing third over 1600m at Kyoto on May 24. Has scored first-up from a spell before. Can make a winning return. SEXY MARGE (10) finished third when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track. Credentials hard to knock. MY ELEMENT (12) closed last prep three-and-a-half months ago when she finished fifth over 1800m at Tokyo. Well placed and likely to feature. TSUNESAN (7) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fifth over 2000m at this track after he was well back on straightening. In the right race and should be thereabouts.
