GOING:

Allowance Race 2400m

Track:      

Either Iklil or Alma De Oro should find the front and dictate terms. LITTLE GIANTS (5) is back from a spell of three months. Raced once last campaign and finished second over 2000m at this track. N Yokoyama who has two wins when partnering stays on. Should be hard to stop. SATONO SOTIRAS (8) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 2600m at Hanshin, beaten a nose. Finds a suitable assignment and can run a big race. ALMA DE ORO (3) showed good early dash at the first run after a spell last time out and led for most of the way before being claimed and finishing 2.25 lengths away in third over 2400m at Hanshin. Among the main hopes. NORARI KURARI (6) turned in a much better effort last time out to score by half a length over 2400m at Hanshin. Finds a suitable race and can feature in the finish.
