GOING: G

Allowance Race 1800m

Track:      

Genuine tempo from Meiner Fuga leading Satono La Couronne. KING SQUALL (3) showed good early dash when resuming last start and held on well to finish a nose back in second over 2000m at this track. Nicely placed to take this out. MEINER FUGA (4) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing third when resuming last time out over 2000m at this track. Should be prominent again from the low draw. Anticipating another big run. WIN DAISY (8) hit the frame two starts ago at Hakodate but ran below par last time when seventh and beaten 4 lengths over 2000m at the same track after being prominent at the turn. Perfectly placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. SATONO LA COURONNE (2) is back from a spell of 15 months. Closed last prep as a winner, taking out a 1800m contest at Tokyo by 1.5 lengths. One of the genuine contenders.
