Chukyo Race 4 - Maiden Race
VALENTINE VISTA (16) returned last time with a solid second at Kokura over 1200m after being prominent at the turn. Suitably placed to crack the maiden win. WADI AL RIYAH (2) returns after three months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fourth over 1200m at Nakayama. Nicely placed and expected to go well. SUSSAN AIR (15) has started twice, running a good second on debut then finishing fourth, beaten 1.75 lengths, last time over 1200m at Kokura. Debut run was good and she looks a great chance to open the account. GENTEN (9) returned from a spell four weeks ago when he was in contention on the bend before being beaten 6 lengths into fifth over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt. Fitter and sure to run well.
