GOING:

Allowance Race 2000m

Track:      

Odette should lead and control the tempo. VALIDISSIMUS (10) returns after a spell of ten weeks. Looking to emulate his win at Hanshin to kick off the last campaign. Promising colt who should be in for his best campaign yet and makes plenty of appeal. KING SQUALL (6) was an impressive winner last time over 1800m at Sapporo, leading throughout and putting 5 lengths on his rivals. Stepping up a level now but should take some stopping again. DEL AVAR (7) returned with a tremendous effort to finish fourth over 2400m in the G2 Kobe Shimbun Hai at Hanshin last start. Scored convincingly when second-up last prep. Sure to measure up. WIN TREMENDOUS (2) resumed over 2000m at Sapporo last start and was too good for his rivals, scoring by 1.5 lengths. Has never been out of the placings second-up and must be included.
