Niigata Race 6 - Allowance Race

APPAREIL (7) Was found wanting late when 7th last run at Kyoto. Can go on with it. MELLIFLUOUS (12) Finished 7th last time at Kyoto. Overlooking the last run and will benefit with the weight drop. Worth strong consideration. VACANZA (3) Backing up quickly. Edged past some when finishing 4th last run at this track. Will be hitting the line strongly. No shock to see a win. LITSEA (4) Looked outclassed when 16th last start at Hanshin. Solid each way claims.

Comments

Returns from a two-month break off a COND win at Kasamatsu, where he led and beat Seiun Daifuku by a length and a half after being near the top of betting. The concern is the run prior at this track, when 12th in a Mdn and beaten over 16 lengths at big odds. Weight relief helps, but his 1200m record remains a clear hurdle against stronger winning claims.

Comments

Dropped out sharply after having her chance when second last at Kyoto Dirt first-up, beaten over 12 lengths at long odds. Her Sonoda win before that was dominant, beating Trainee Verite by five lengths in COND grade after being heavily backed, so the underlying ability is there. The first try around 1200m is the question, but she can lift into the placings if sharper second-up.

Comments

Turned in a much better effort at this track last start, picking up nicely for fourth and beaten just over a length behind Hinano Musashi. That came only 15 days after a plain tenth at Kyoto Dirt, where she was handy enough but did not finish off. The quick back-up is a positive and third-up fitness puts her in the each-way mix, despite a modest overall winning strike rate.

Comments

Returns from a five-week freshening after a plain first-up run at Hanshin Dirt, finishing last and beaten over 11 lengths when unwanted in the market. She had earlier won a Kokura Dirt Mdn over 1000m, leading and opening up to beat Meiwa Kirari by a length. The issue is her 1200m profile: five previous tries for no placings, so she has to rebound sharply to be in the finish.

Returns from a two-month break after finishing second last at Sapporo, where he was never in the picture and finished well held after being unwanted in the market. His previous fifth at Sapporo Dirt was only fair, beaten just over eight lengths behind Rin. He has placed once from two tries at this distance, but he remains a 15-start maiden and others bring stronger recent form.

Returns from a two-month break after a fair sixth at Nakayama Dirt, where she led and was run down late, beaten just under five lengths at long odds. The run prior at this track was weaker, with an eighth in a Mdn and beaten over 12 lengths after travelling in the right spot. She has three placings at 1200m, but the maiden record and recent flat form make this a tough task.

Led and gave a stronger sight at Kyoto Dirt last start, finishing seventh and beaten just under four lengths by T O Purcell after being near the top of an open market. That was a clear step back towards her better form after a heavy defeat as favourite at Chukyo Dirt. Back to 1200m is the small unknown, but third-up fitness and tactical speed make her the horse they have to get past.

Returns from a five-week freshening after a sound sixth at Nakayama Dirt, beaten just under six lengths by Gratiam when unwanted in the market but still holding her ground. She was also sixth in an ALLOW at this track before the break, beaten just under five lengths. Her record at this track and distance is solid without a win, so she profiles as a genuine place hope if she improves second-up.

Returns from a lengthy eight-month spell after being outclassed in the G2 New Zealand Trophy (NHK Mile Cup Trial) at Nakayama, finishing second last behind Reservation. His prior Mdn win at Nakayama Dirt was far more relevant, beating Kannon Mikki by four lengths with authority. Back to a winning 1200m setup and away from Group company, he has a strong platform to strike fresh.

Was second last at Tokyo Dirt first-up, beaten over 16 lengths by Abare Ryu after settling handy and offering little late. His previous run at Hakodate was no better, finishing last and beaten over 15 lengths. A past win keeps some historical credit, but seven unplaced runs around 1200m and a lean recent profile leave him needing a major form reversal.

Returns from a three-month break after finishing last at this track, where she was handy but finished well held at long odds behind Zephyr Tesoro. Her run prior is the key positive, winning a Mdn at this venue by a nose from Marilyn Barows, and the winning rider is back aboard. The latest run is hard to ignore, but proven track-and-trip form keeps her in the place conversation.

Worked home honestly without threatening when seventh first-up at Kyoto Dirt, beaten four and a half lengths by B B Synergy at generous odds. Her previous start produced a narrow Mdn win over Curlicue, and her broader 1200m record is the key: one win and four placings from seven attempts. With weight relief and reliable distance form, she is a solid winning chance despite the wide draw.
