Chukyo Race 9 - Tsuwabuki Sho
MARGA (11) was well in commission when resuming last start over 1600m in the G3 Artemis Stakes at Tokyo when fifth, beaten 4 lengths. Will find this much easier. Will take running down. BERET BASQUE (1) was close up in stakes class latest and this much easier. Drawn to get the gun run out of the inside barrier. Can atone. I NEED YOU (4) resumes after a break of ten weeks. Did win at her only other first-up run when on debut, scoring over 1400m at this track. Has found a suitable race to kick off the campaign. PRINCESS MOKO (5) scored on debut last start over 1200m at Kyoto Dirt on November 15, finishing 3 lengths ahead of the nearest rival. Cleared out for a big win on debut. Big chance to go two from two.

Most recently 7th of 11 at Kyoto on November 30 over 1600m, 7 len behind Margot Love Me with 55.0kg at $25.80. The start before that won by a nose at Kyoto October 5 over 1600m defeating Mikki La Vita with 55.0kg at $5.10. Will jump at pretty long odds and deservedly so.

Second-up. Strong on debut as favourite; won by 3 len at Hakodate July 12 over 1800m defeating Centre De Paris carrying 55.0kg at $1.10. Went for a spell before returning 5th of 10 at Tokyo in the G3 Artemis Stakes on October 25 over 1600m, 4 len behind Firostefani with 55.0kg at $2.20. Fitter and this much easier. Will take running down.
