Chukyo Race 3 - Maiden Race
RED FREUDE (12) has not raced since his debut back on October 5 when he finished fourth over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt. Better for the run and can improve sharply. ABHILASHA (1) was close to a maiden win before an 11-week break, finishing off with a placing over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Nicely drawn on the fence. Has ability and is a solid chance. JUSTIN GOGH (9) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt, beaten 7 lengths into fifth after being prominent at the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. MR EMERALD (5) has started twice, running a good third on debut then finishing seventh, beaten 12 lengths, last time over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt. Sits handy in the run. Can bounce back.
