Nakayama Race 12 - Allowance Race
B B EFFORT (9) made a nice return last time out to finish third and beaten only 1.1 lengths over this course and distance. Second-up record is strong. Expected to be hard to stop. BUMBLEBEE (2) is fresh from a spell of nine weeks and did hit the frame when last resuming at Tokyo over 1400m. In a different yard now. One of the better hopes despite the layoff. MARINO TONITRUS (7) did little and finished 4 lengths from the winner in seventh over 1200m at Kyoto last start, a less impressive effort than her fourth at this track the run before. Likely improver with strong prospects. KHALEESI (5) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 2 lengths into ninth. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
