Chukyo Race 4 - Chukyo Maiden
HIGGS BOSON (6) Narrowly denied a win last time at Kokura. Displays good finishing speed. Been in the money each start this campaign. Yuga Kawada is a plus. No shock to see a win. MELONE (2) Rattled home nicely into 3rd beaten by 1/2L last time at Kokura and gets a favourable barrier. Has early speed and positions nicely. Promising career start. Can take this out. PIKO LAND (15) Yuki Uehara 2yo by Maurice having first race start. Keep your eye on the market. ANGE LA FILLE (10) First up and honest run on the speed before fading to finish 2nd first up last preparation at Kyoto. Should race on the speed. Will be there at the finish.

First run back from a break. Started $201.00 and struggled with the pace when 14th last start at Kokura but will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Hard to see this being competitive today.

Amongst the placegetters when 3rd beaten by 1/2L last time at Kokura and has a good draw. Should come to hand quickly. Honest performer putting a tidy record together. Should be in the finish.

Resuming after a break. At $101.00 faded away to finish 15th last time at Tokyo and will be dropping in distance. Does take a while to get into stride. Tough ask.
