Chukyo Race 2 - Maiden Race
LIGHTNING ROD (2) pushed forward from a wide gate fresh and was game in defeat. Ideal draw now and fitter. Likely improver with strong prospects. SHINE FOR ME (16) returns after 12 weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fourth over 1200m at Nakayama. Launched last prep with a minor placing at Tokyo over 1400m. Ready to find winning form. SNOW LANCE (4) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1200m at this track, beaten only 0.8 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. KUROKAMI JO (1) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at Hanshin Dirt over 1200m. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race.

Form hard to fault. Last start 2nd of 16 at Hanshin Dirt on February 28 over 1200m, 5 len behind Blue Mckinzie with 52.0kg at $8.20. The run before that 2nd of 16 at Kyoto Dirt on January 18 over 1200m, 2.5 len behind On The Noir carrying 52.0kg at $3.10. Will not spend a cent from the inside barrier. Overdue and gets chance.

Lining up for just third start. At debut, 6th of 15 at this track on December 21 over 1400m, 8 len behind Persephone carrying 55.0kg at $18.60. Second-up 8th of 16 at Kyoto Dirt on January 18 over 1200m, 8 len behind On The Noir carrying 55.0kg at $15.90. Will jump at pretty long odds and deservedly so.

Finished off last preparation fourth of 16 at Nakayama December 28 over 1200m, 2.75 len behind Nishino Seido carrying 55.0kg at $3.10.
