Chukyo Race 5 - Maiden Race
MAJORELLE BLEU (8) Crept into 4th last run at this venue. Has the ability to take this out. LES AILES FORTES (14) Made some ground late when 2nd last start at Hanshin and was a debutant last start. Has very good finishing speed. Carrying more weight than last time. Definite claims. OPEN THE PANDORA (9) Kensuke Ogura 3yo by Epiphaneia having first race start. Watch betting. DANON OF IDEA (10) Resuming after a spell. Outmuscled in the late stages of the race when 6th last start at Kyoto. Shows good early pace. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race.

Racing on a quick back up. Was $6.50 and came in 10th last run at Hanshin but having second career run. Prefers to settle towards the rear. May find these too slick.

Odds of $126.00 and couldn't maintain the pace when 16th last run here but can find a nice position from the draw. Likely to get back in the field. Others are better.

Ran home into 2nd last start at Hanshin and having second career run. Always seems to find the line well. Has to cope with a weight increase. Definite claims for punters.
