Kyoto Race 4 - Allowance Race

ROUGE BALLON (7) Had a break from racing and returns to competition. Finished 8th last run at Chukyo. Can make a comeback. Can go through the gears. Respect in this event. HAGURE JOE (12) Moved through the field into 4th last time at Hanshin. Worth strong consideration. LOVE IN ACTION (10) Resuming after a break. Gave a strong sight when 3rd beaten by 3/4L last time at Chukyo. Won't be far away during the run. No shock to see a win. ZION DANCER (3) Couldn't stay in touch when 16th last run at Hanshin and dropping back to a shorter trip. Has shown early pace in races to date. Winnable race.

Comments

Worked home fairly when seventh at Hanshin Dirt first-up, beaten just over four lengths by El Fenix after conceding plenty of ground and starting at long odds. That followed a C2 win at Urawa, where he beat Yorudemo Asa by two lengths as a dominant odds-on favourite. His 1400m record is strong, but he was behind Hagure Joe recently and must produce sharper ALLOW form.

Returns from a three-month break after finishing ninth at Chukyo, beaten just over nine lengths by Sardine Run after settling rearward and making no late impact. His run prior was another midfield-to-back effort over 1600m at Kyoto. He has a sound overall place record, but 1400m is new and a minor-money case appeals more than a winning one.

Was well beaten when last at Hanshin Dirt first-up, finishing more than 20 lengths from Mirande after offering little resistance. The previous Tokyo Dirt run was also plain, beaten over 12 lengths despite getting into a suitable spot. A return to 1400m is the positive, having won once from two tries, but recent form keeps her in the place-only bracket.

Finished sixth behind El Fenix at Hanshin Dirt last start, beaten three and a half lengths after giving away ground and working home fairly without threatening. That was a better run than his second-last there when beaten over 16 lengths, but he is yet to win from five starts around 1400m and was behind Hagure Joe and Rouge Ballon last time. Others look stronger.

Gave very little in the run home when tenth at Hanshin Dirt last start, beaten just over seven lengths by El Fenix at long odds. His previous run was also well below standard, finishing 12th and beaten over 11 lengths. A prior win at this track is a small offset, but he is unplaced in three goes at 1400m and current form is hard to recommend.

Was unwanted in the market and beaten over 17 lengths at this track last start, never making headway behind Air Alcina. Two weeks earlier at Hanshin he was again a long price and finished 15th after giving away too much start. Third-up fitness and a winning rider returning are positives, but his recent figures leave him with plenty to find.

Returns from a three-month break after finishing eighth as favourite at Chukyo, beaten just under three lengths by King Cape without ever looking a winning hope. Her previous neck second to Narkissos reads strongly, and she has already won at this track and distance. With solid 1400m credentials and Christophe Lemaire booked, she profiles as a key winning threat fresh.

Returns from a three-month break after a seventh at Chukyo Dirt, beaten six lengths by Mill Minerva when unable to quicken. His prior fifth behind Pod Ripple came when near the top of an open market but he was again safely held. He has won at 1400m, yet his broader record is modest and he lost to Love In Action in July, so a placing is the realistic aim.

Returns from a three-month break after finishing second last at Sapporo Dirt, beaten a long way by Taiki Indra after coming under pressure late. She had worked home evenly when sixth at the same venue before that, but the recent form line is still well short. Her track-and-distance record offers some encouragement, though a sizeable turnaround is required.

Returns from a three-month break with two strong placings behind her, most recently third at Chukyo Dirt when beaten just under a length by Pod Ripple after fighting hard late. Before that she was runner-up at Kokura Dirt as favourite, conceding late after holding a slender lead. That current-season profile is solid, and she resumes as a genuine winning chance.

Returns from a three-month break after finishing eighth at Chukyo Dirt, beaten six and a half lengths by Mill Minerva when lacking a change of gears. She had been fourth at the same venue at long odds the run before, beaten four and a half lengths from a rearward position. A minor track placing helps, but six 1400m runs without a win leaves her up against it.

Kept to the task when fourth at Hanshin Dirt last start, beaten two lengths by El Fenix after starting odds-on favourite. He had also placed there second-up behind Envelope, working home well and again well found in betting. Now third-up, with a strong 1400m place profile and a leading jockey aboard, he has the substance to be right in the winning fight.

Finished fifth behind El Fenix at Hanshin Dirt first-up, beaten just over three lengths at generous odds but unable to finish it off. Her previous run was a third at this track behind Pod Donner, beaten two lengths at big odds, and she has placed in both starts at this venue. The 1400m query remains, yet her consistency makes her a genuine place hope.

Let down well for second at this track last start, beaten a neck by Wise Gang after starting at generous odds, and that effort gives her the strongest recent form reference here. Her previous run over 1200m at Chukyo Dirt was plain, but she is fitter second-up and has already placed at this track and distance. With that latest effort to build on, she sets the standard.

Improved sharply when third at this track last start, beaten just under three lengths by Wise Gang at long odds after settling rearward. That was a clear lift on her Chukyo run, where she finished 15th and never made an impression. Her 1400m record is strong with three wins and one placing from six starts, so she has a credible place case if that latest run holds up.
