GOING: G

Allowance Race 2000m

Track:      

A few sit handy but there won't be a great deal of early pressure. BEST ME EVER (5) is back from a spell of four months. Raced once last campaign and finished second over 2000m at Tokyo. Sure to make her presence felt. RONDE BOSSE (6) is a talented filly who tackled a tougher race at her last run on April 27 and finished ninth behind Kamunyak over 2000m in the G2 Sankei Sports Sho Flora Stakes (Japanese Oaks Trial) at Tokyo. Backmarker who gets home hard. Will prove tough to beat. GERBEROY (1) scored last time out over 1800m at Kokura. Ryusei Sakai sticks. Down in the weights this time. One of the main contenders. MAKANA (7) turned in a fine effort to win by a neck at this track and distance last time out to build on a solid first-up result. Taking on a better field but she is up to the task.
