Chukyo Race 11 - The Chukyo Nisai Stakes(G3)
STAR ANISE (7) broke through for her maiden win over 1200m at Kokura last time, scoring comfortably. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Shaping up nicely and a bold showing is expected. STEFFI (10) impressed when successful on debut over 1200m at Hanshin Dirt ten weeks ago and has not been produced since. Has plenty of upside and can win again. AYRTON (3) finished a nose from the winner in second on debut last start over 1400m at this track. Nicely drawn so he is a strong chance. PURPLE GARNET (8) is back from a spell of 12 weeks. Won on debut at the only appearance last prep, scoring in a 1400m contest at Tokyo by half a length. One of the key contenders.

Form hard to fault. Returns from a 29-day let-up. Last start favourite; won by 3.5 len at this track August 2 over 1400m defeating Gold Venus carrying 54.0kg at $1.30. The run before that 2nd of 10 at Kokura on July 12 over 1200m, 7 len behind Star Anise with 54.0kg at $2.20. Last-start winner who can measure up again.

Having third race start. At debut, rolled along in front before being edged out 3rd of 7 at Fukushima on June 29 over 1200m, 4 len behind Happy Angel carrying 55.0kg at $7.90. Last start favourite; won by 1.5 len at Niigata Dirt July 26 over 1200m defeating Live Red Eye carrying 53.0kg at $2. Hard to make much of a case.
