Chukyo Race 8 - Chukyo Okanzakura Sho
MEISHO NARUKAMI (2) Rocketed home when winning last time at this track and will try to take advantage of the alley. Gains the services of jockey Yuga Kawada. Every chance today. DANON HUDSON (5) First up. Romped home to win last time at Hanshin and was on debut last time. Will be trying to topple them late. One of the top hopes. BOND MARTINI (1) Back from a break. Strong effort to the line to win last run at Kokura and having second race start. Should get going late. Has the ideal barrier. In the mix. STUNNING LADY (4) Tailed off to finish 8th last run at Nakayama. Capable of a strong comeback. Should be swooping on the field late. Solid place bet prospects.

First run back after spell. Charged home to win last run at Kokura and was a debutant last start. Always seems to find the line well. Drawn the rails. Can win this.

Was $7.50 and didn't threaten when 8th last run at Nakayama. Capable of a strong comeback. Some respect.

Fresh today after a break. Ran over the top of them when winning last time at Hanshin and fitter for debut run. Possesses good finishing speed. Gets a solid chance here.

Jumped at $18.00 and didn't attack the line when 14th last start at Nakayama. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Marginal contender.
