Chukyo Race 1 - Maiden Race
CORVUS (13) ran well on debut last start to finish second over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt in a tougher race. Has a wide gate to overcome but he should be in the finish again. HIGH ROAD (5) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt, beaten 3.5 lengths into fourth after being prominent at the turn. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. NOW OR NEVER (9) finished 6 lengths from the winner in fifth last start over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt, an improvement on his eighth at Kyoto Dirt the run before. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SUNRISE JUDGE (10) faced the starter for the first time and finished seventh last start at Hanshin Dirt over 1800m, beaten 5 lengths. Will take a lot from that last run and is worth following up.

Raced twice to date. At very long odds at debut, 16th of 18 at Nakayama on December 28 over 2000m, 14 len behind Congestus with 54.0kg at $247.50. Last start raced on the pace before fading 12th of 16 at Kokura on February 28 over 2000m, 13 len behind Nihonpiro Roger carrying 54.0kg at $283.40. Doesn't look good enough to threaten.
