Niigata Race 7 - Allowance Race

CRIMSON LEAF (1) Controlled the speed to win by a margin of 3L last time at this venue and drawn well. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Performing impressively this preparation. Goes close. DANON VESTAL (3) Fresh today. Despite peaking on the run still grabbed 3rd last start at this venue. Should muster plenty of early speed. Appears well in this. SATONO CLASSICAL (14) First up from a break. Bolted in when winning by 5L last start at this venue. Has the necessary speed to mitigate the wide draw. Serious player. YAMAME IKKA (7) Fresh from a spell. Rounded them up to win last time at Sapporo and getting better in recent performances. Can give this a shake.

Comments

Returns from a two-month freshening after putting a Mdn field away at this track, winning by three lengths as a dominant odds-on favourite after quickening with plenty in hand. He had also been second to Monster Rush at this venue when favourite, so the form has been consistent. His track-and-trip record reads well and the weight relief helps him carry that form into this stronger test.

Returns after three months off following a sixth at Chukyo Dirt, beaten just under seven lengths by Star Ship despite making some late ground. His Kyoto Dirt Mdn win the start prior came at big odds and showed a turn of foot, but he is unplaced from two tries at this track and distance. The winning rider returns, though he has a fair bit to find fresh.

Returns from a lengthy spell with a very honest profile, having placed in eight of nine starts overall. He was an odds-on favourite when third at this venue in May, beaten five and a half lengths after failing to sustain his run, and had been much closer at Hanshin Dirt two back. The win strike-rate is modest, but his distance record keeps him in the place mix.

Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing fifth first-up at this track, beaten eight and a half lengths by Luna Di Sangue at big odds. His previous run at Tokyo Dirt was also plain, finishing 11th after settling with too much to do. He has won at the distance, but the recent margins say he must produce a much sharper finish.

Returns after three months off with recent figures that are hard to recommend, finishing 12th at Sapporo when beaten over 14 lengths after settling back and making no impression. He had also been beaten over 11 lengths at Hakodate Dirt two back. A prior track-and-trip record gives some context, but his current form has to turn around sharply.

Resumed with a sound fourth at Hanshin Dirt, beaten just over three lengths by Mirande after picking up well in the straight as favourite. His previous fourth at the same venue was wider in margin but still came in a market that respected him. Now second-up with weight relief and a prior win around 1800m, he brings the right recent profile to be the one to beat.

Returns after three months off as a lightly exposed runner who ended last campaign with a Mdn win at Sapporo Dirt, beating Blue Flare by a length and a half as a well-supported favourite. That followed a narrow second at Hakodate Dirt, so the trajectory was encouraging. This is a sterner assignment, but he has enough upside to be considered for the minors.

Placed first-up at Nakayama Dirt when third to Urizunbe, beaten just over two lengths at long odds after looming without quite threatening. His fourth at Tokyo Dirt over 2100m before the break was also competitive, so the recent body of work is solid. With two placings from three starts at this distance and a prior placing at this venue, he is a strong contender.

Worked home fairly when seventh at Nakayama Dirt first-up, beaten just over three lengths by Urizunbe at generous odds, but Blue Giant had his measure there. His earlier Tokyo Dirt run was a long-margin seventh after conceding a start. A previous 1800m win keeps him in the conversation, though this season's form makes him more of a place prospect.

Returns after three months off following a fifth at this track, beaten five and a half lengths by Breguet Un after leading at long odds. His previous Tokyo Dirt run was much weaker, finishing 11th and beaten over 14 lengths. The stable and jockey profile is sound enough, but he is yet to place in three starts around 1800m and looks a place hope at best.

Returns from a two-month freshening after a poor 12th at this track, beaten over 18 lengths by Luna Di Sangue after fading late. He had been sixth at Fukushima Dirt the start prior, beaten just over eight lengths when never a winning hope. His record here at the trip includes two placings, but he must rebound strongly to be a genuine winning factor.

Returns from a four-month break with his recent form trending the wrong way, finishing tenth at Hakodate Dirt when beaten over 16 lengths by Eifer Shadow. The run prior was an eighth at the same venue and he was unwanted in betting. He has plenty of 1800m experience, but six unplaced runs in the past 12 months make this look difficult.

Returns after three months off having finished ninth at Chukyo Dirt, beaten eight and a half lengths by Yoka O after settling rearward and making no impression. His prior fifth at the same venue had more merit, as he made late ground from well back. A distance win is a small positive, but he has to reproduce his better finish to threaten.

Returns after three months off following a dominant Mdn win at this track, beating Sangrant by five lengths as favourite after travelling handily and putting the race away quickly. He is one from one at both this venue and the distance, which gives that win extra relevance. The wide barrier is a genuine test, but his best form puts him right in this.

Returns after three months off after a plain 14th at Chukyo Dirt over 1200m, beaten over 10 lengths at long odds when never able to get into the race. He had won a Mdn at the same venue the start prior, holding off Taro by a neck as favourite. Back to a distance where he has a win and three placings, he still has to lift on the latest run.
