Chukyo Race 2 - Maiden Race
TAGANO ARTEMIS (9) Narrowly denied victory last start at Kasamatsu and stepping back up in distance. Always seems to find the line well. Respect against this field. TWINKLE PIKA (4) Showed strength on the speed initially before fading at the end 3rd beaten by over 6L last time at this track. Has early speed and positions nicely. Looks to be value. TINANVALANTA (7) Back from a break. Didn't threaten when 10th last run at Nakayama. Giving another chance here. Should get going late. Worth consideration. VAI VAI (3) Backing up quickly. Finished 4th last run here. Has plenty of early speed. Has scope so do not ignore.

At $201.00 lacklustre showing when 15th last start at Nakayama but will try to take advantage of the draw. Prefers to settle towards the rear. Hard to see it being good enough.

Racing fresh today after a break. Jumped at $201.00 and came in 7th last run at Kyoto. Likely to settle back in the field. Tough ask.

Narrowly denied victory last start at Kasamatsu and back over more ground. Might take a while to wind up but should be hitting top gear in the straight. Genuine claims.

Back from a break. Odds of $31.00 and underperformed when 11th last time at Kyoto but fitter for debut run. Likely to get back in the run. Will need to find a few more lengths.
