Chukyo Race 4 - Maiden Race
EASY RIDER (6) wound up strongly last time out to finish 1.1 lengths adrift in third over 1600m at Kyoto. Should park just off the speed. Expected to be in the finish. MUSKULEST (5) resumed from a spell last start with a sound third over 1600m at Kyoto. Suitably placed to crack the maiden win. CHUWA MELODY (11) finished third last start over 1300m at Tokyo Dirt, beaten 6 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. ROGER TO ALLIE (10) stepped out for his debut over 1400m at this track back on August 9 and finished fifth, beaten 3 lengths. Improver who can feature in the finish.

Second-up. First-up after three months led to the turn then faded 7th of 16 at Fukushima on November 22 over 1800m, 4.5 len behind Alonsoa with 55.0kg at $78.40.

Recent form sound. Comes here off a 35-day let-up. Last start 3rd of 15 at Tokyo Dirt on November 8 over 1300m, 6 len behind Plumeria Lino with 56.0kg at $4.90. The run before that 3rd of 13 at Tokyo on October 19 over 1400m, 4.5 len behind Zabargad carrying 56.0kg at $4.90. Overdue and gets chance.
