Chukyo Race 5 - Maiden Race
MEISHO NARUKAMI (1) was fourth on debut then runner-up all four since. Fitter and expected to get off the mark this time. HEY JUDE (7) placed on debut then missed the frame but not far away this trip latest. Genuine contender in this suitable contest. LA VILLETTE (14) is a well-related three-year-old colt lining up for the first time. By Satono Diamond from Guillem who has produced some fine gallopers, including winners at black type level. Sure to be well-educated, being from the Y Ikee yard. MEISHO HERBS (10) was beaten 2.5 lengths into fifth in a 2000m contest at Hanshin last time out. Suitably placed so can turn things around.

Comes off a 33 day let-up. Most recently couldn't go on with it; 8th of 15 at Kyoto on February 10 over 2400m, 6 len behind Pound For One with 55.0kg at $24.10. The race before that didn't do much in the run home; 8th of 11 at Hanshin Dirt on December 14 over 1800m, 17 len behind Sunrise Kevin carrying 56.0kg at $22.30. Shouldn't trouble the top few.
