GOING: G

Allowance Race 1600m

Track:      

Solid tempo with Quatre Epice going forward from the good gate. REBELS RULE (8) has been in the money at his last couple of runs but struggling to break through, the latest effort a third over 1800m at Kyoto. Terrific chance to break through. GOLD BREATH (7) found the line nicely last start to get up for second over 1600m at this track. Kyosuke Kokubun has been in the money at the last three rides. Sure to play a big role. QUATRE EPICE (3) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt, beaten 7 lengths into ninth. Likely improver with strong prospects. SATONO RAPPORT (6) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fifth at Tokyo over 1800m. Likely improver who should be about the mark.
