Chukyo Race 11 - Allowance Race

VIP WOLF (5) accounted for a maiden field over 2000m at Kokura last start, finishing 2 lengths ahead of the nearest rival. Re-unites with M Demuro who was on board last start. Big chance to go back-to-back. MEISHO NARUKAMI (6) lines up for the first time since March 29. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 2000m at Kokura. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. RED VARIATO (4) progressed nicely last time out to finish just one length from the winner in third over 2600m at Kokura after being in contention on the corner. Won't find this as tough so he is sure to prove hard to beat. BALIOS (1) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 2600m at Kokura, beaten 13 lengths. Fitter so can feature in the finish.

Recent form sound. Comes here off a 36-day let-up. At the latest run won by 2 len at Kokura June 27 over 2000m defeating Trakai Castle with 57.0kg at $4.20. The run before that 2nd of 16 at Hanshin on June 7 over 2000m, 5 len behind Ace Flight with 57.0kg at $5.40. No reason he cannot build on that success.
