Tokyo Race 7 - Allowance Race
BEST ME EVER (2) returns from a layoff of three-and-a-half months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 2000m at Niigata. Has good speed and expected to take running down. PRIMZAHL (5) was heavily backed and justified the support when resuming last start over 1600m at Nakayama, scoring by 2.5 lengths. Open to plenty of improvement and this looks well within her grasp. ITOKAWA SAKURA (3) was out of the money first-up but has since placed two on end and looks close to a win, the latest effort a third over 1800m at Hanshin. Looks tough to stop. MEISTERWERK (6) resumes. Wasn't far away at the only run last time in work, finishing sixth over 1800m at Fukushima 11 weeks ago. Looks a strong top-three prospect.

Mare returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last preparation won by 0.5 len this track November 1 over 1800m defeating Maglia Iridata carrying 56.0kg at $2.20. Previously first up; second of 9 at Niigata August 31 over 2000m, 5 len behind Makana with 56.0kg at $1.70. This is an ideal race to kick off. Top hope.

Comes off a 57 day let-up. Most recently ran on strongly from last on the turn; 3rd of 10 at Hanshin on December 13 over 1800m, 1.2 len behind Arabella with 56.0kg at $19.70. The start before that 2nd of 11 at this track on October 26 over 1800m, 0.5 len behind Clini Clown carrying 56.0kg at $8.80. Will be hard to hold out.

Second run back. First-up after three months favourite; won by 2.5 len at Nakayama January 24 over 1600m defeating Gold Sheen with 55.0kg at $1.80. Previously second-up 4th of 16 at Nakayama on September 28 over 1600m, 5 len behind Reverberate with 54.0kg at $7.40. Big chance to make it back-to-back wins. Improver with winning prospects.
