Chukyo Race 10 - Kumano Tokubetsu
MOZU MAVERICK (3) is yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest when fifth over 2000m at this track. Untried at this journey but strips fitter and looks set to find best form. STOP THE TIME (1) comes here off a break of seven months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1800m at Kyoto, adding to a decent record when fresh. Has ability and should be right in the finish. VENCEDORES (7) returns from a spell of eight months. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when sixth over 2000m at Sapporo. Winning claims on best figures. LIFE SAVING (4) finished third at Kyoto two runs back but was less effective last time over 2000m at this track, finishing 4.5 lengths back in ninth. Is a winner at this trip so expect a better run.

Is first-up after a break of seven months and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last campaign fifth of 14 at Sapporo August 25 over 1800m, 0.9 len behind Ezo Daimon carrying 58.0kg at $7.90. When resuming last campaign third of 7 at Kyoto June 1 over 1800m, 0.8 len behind Dotto Kuru with 58.0kg at $6.80. Look for a bold run.
