Chukyo Race 4 - Chukyo 3Yo Maiden
ELINA STORM (8) looks close to a win after four minor placings in a row, most recently finishing a very close second over 2000m at this track. Well placed this line-up and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. ART VIVANT (10) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing a neck from the winner in second over 1800m at Tokyo. Can open winning account this time. EXCITE BIO (13) returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was in contention on the turn before being beaten 2.5 lengths into fourth over 2000m at this track. Strips fitter and can feature. ROUGE STEEZ (5) returned from a spell three weeks ago when she was beaten 2.25 lengths into fourth over 2000m at Hanshin. Fitter this time will prove harder to beat.

Jumped as a despised roughie at debut, 10th of 16 at Tokyo on February 1 over 1600m, 10 len behind Matenro Barows carrying 55.0kg at $55. Needs to do a lot more than she did on debut.

Returns from a 57-day let-up. At the latest run 8th of 16 at Tokyo on February 1 over 1800m, 4 len behind Taisei Princesse carrying 57.0kg at $8.60. The race before that 5th of 18 at Nakayama on January 6 over 2000m, 1.75 len behind Meiner Zeus with 57.0kg at $29. Rates highly and is among the main hopes.

Third-up today. First-up sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 18 at Tokyo on February 22 over 2400m, neck behind Danon Picture with 55.0kg at $4.50. Second-up 2nd of 18 at this track on March 15 over 2000m, neck behind Premier Ship with 55.0kg at $2.60. Capable of a better showing. Respect.
