Niigata Race 4 - Allowance Race

EIYU SAKURA (15) Threw down a serious challenge last start at Hanshin and putting a tidy record together. The wide gate shouldn't be a problem with plenty of early speed. Key player. SATONO ESCAPE (4) Right in the mix last time around here. Placed at every start this campaign. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value . TICKET TO HEAVEN (8) First up after a break of 76 weeks. Picked up late to win last run at the track and getting better in recent performances. Has early speed and positions nicely. Appears well in this. VERGINE (1) Finished 4th last run at Chukyo but will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Gets a chance to win.

Comments

Returns from a two-month let-up after finishing fourth at Chukyo Dirt, beaten just over two lengths by Curlicue when near the top of betting and unable to quicken late. Her previous second, albeit beaten seven lengths, still showed she can hold form this campaign. With one win and one place from four starts at 1200m and Kyosuke Kokubun back aboard, she has the right base to be a serious winning player.

Resumes after three months following a plain end to last campaign, finishing 11th at Chukyo Dirt when beaten over 10 lengths and unwanted in the market. He had also been 13th at this track at big odds, beaten over 14 lengths after giving away a big start. The lighter weight is noted, but his recent figures leave him with a sizeable task.

Comments

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing second last at Nakayama Dirt, beaten over 12 lengths by Curacion after settling rearward and making no impression. His fourth at this venue two back was better, though still beaten just over eight lengths when well found in betting. Unplaced in all three tries around 1200m, so he profiles more as a place hope if he rebounds.

Comments

Returns from a two-month freshening after going within a neck of Jack Nadal at this track, his second straight placing at the venue this campaign. He had earlier finished strongly when beaten half a length by Zephyr Tesoro, and his season record reads one win and three places from five starts. Proven at 1200m and holding form, he has the right profile to go close again.

Returns from a five-month break after ending last campaign with a seventh in an ALLOW at Kyoto Dirt, beaten just under four lengths at big odds. His prior fourth at the same venue was respectable, but he has not placed in nine starts across the past 12 months and owns only one placing from 14 runs around 1200m. Others bring sharper recent credentials.

Returns after four months since a sixth at Fukushima Dirt, beaten just under five lengths when unwanted in the market. His previous run in an ALLOW at Hanshin Dirt was weaker, fading out to be beaten just over nine lengths. He does have a 1200m win among four attempts, but recent form lacks the substance required to make him a strong case here.

Comments

Returns from a two-month let-up after two unplaced runs this campaign, most recently tenth at Chukyo Dirt when she led narrowly before being swamped and beaten just over nine lengths. The stronger angle is her 1200m record, with one win and two placings from four starts, and the weight relief helps. She can improve, but looks more a placing chance than a clear win threat.

Comments

Returns from a spell of over a year, which is the obvious reservation despite some appealing old form. He ended last campaign winning a Mdn at this track by just under two lengths from Z Yell, letting down well with something in reserve, after a Nakayama Dirt third. His track and distance record is sound, but the absence makes him hard to assess cleanly.

Resumes after three months following an eighth at Kokura Dirt, beaten seven and a half lengths after settling well back and never threatening. His previous seventh in an ALLOW at this track was also below market expectations as favourite in an open market. A track-and-distance placing offers a small counterpoint, but he must show more intent late.

Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing 14th at Niigata, beaten just over seven lengths when unwanted in the market and unable to quicken. She was also only seventh first-up on soft ground. The broader record is better than those runs, with three wins this season and weight relief now, but she is unplaced in four starts at 1200m, keeping her to the place mix.

Returns after four months following a dominant Mdn win at Fukushima Dirt, scoring by five lengths from Spinning Globe as favourite after quickening decisively. That came after a strong-finishing second at Tokyo Dirt, so the form pattern was heading the right way. With one win and one place from three starts at 1200m and a sound rider record, he has a live first-up winning profile.

Worked home past tiring rivals to finish third at Nakayama Dirt last start, beaten five lengths by J L Carrier when near the top of an open market. Two back he outran long odds for second at the same venue, which gives his current campaign a genuine place shape. Already a winner at this track and distance, he is one for exotics rather than a confident win call.

Returns from a six-week let-up after a first-up sixth at Sapporo Dirt, beaten just over three lengths at long odds when unable to finish the race off. She had been a well-supported favourite at Funabashi before that but managed only fifth. Her career record is strong and she has placed twice at 1200m, though she has to convert those positives into sharper race-day form.

Returns from a five-week freshening after a heavy first-up defeat at Hanshin Dirt, finishing tenth and beaten over 18 lengths after being out of the picture. His Kanazawa COND win before the break showed he can put a race away when in control, and he has placed at his only 1200m attempt. The latest run is hard to overlook, but a rebound keeps him in the minor-money discussion.

Placed first-up at Hanshin Dirt when beaten a long neck by Catch A Thief as favourite, only being pipped late in a strong return. She had ended the previous campaign with a comfortable Mdn win over Fireplace at the same venue, and her 1200m record is one win and one place from two starts. With the winning rider back and reliable recent figures, she is the runner to beat.
