Chukyo Race 5 - Maiden Race
BIG HERO (6) Came on strongly when 3rd beaten by just over 3 1/2L last start at Hanshin and solid career start. Strong chance. AGAINST ODDS (7) Had a break from racing and returns to competition. Lost ground in the run home when 16th last run at Kyoto. Racing for a new trainer. Looks promising in this race. ENVELOPE (3) Came on strongly to finish 3rd last start at Kokura. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. CALL LOVE (5) First up from a break of 10 weeks and narrowly beaten first up last preparation at Hanshin. In the mix.

First up today. Odds of $41.00 and didn't find the line when 10th last time at Nakayama but was on debut last time. Likely to get back in the field. Would not recommend.

First up from a break. Was $71.00 and struggled with the pace when 10th last start at Nakayama but gets a favourable alley. Will be dropping in distance. Highly unlikely to feature here.

Improved to place when 3rd beaten by 1 1/2L last start at Kokura. Should race on the speed. Serious contender.

Fresh after a spell. Started at $34.00 and tailed off to finish 16th last run at the track but fitter for debut run. Prefers to settle towards the rear. Entitled to be a big price.
