Chukyo Race 5 - Maiden Race
ARAMUSHA PYRRHUS (6) is back from a break of three months. Raced twice in his maiden campaign and wasn't far away on either occasion including the last run when second over 2000m at Hanshin. Should take a lot from that first preparation and can go on with it this time in work. DARLING DARLING (2) will strip fitter for this after running below expectations first-up at Kyoto, finishing sixth and beaten 11 lengths over 2000m. Hard to beat in this suitable race. KURSAAL (16) is a three-year-old filly on debut from the stable of Hidenori Take. By Contrail from Opera Dame. Expected to feature. A SHIN WHISPER (9) has raced twice. Was third on debut then clocked-in 6 lengths from the winner in 11th last time out over 2000m at Kokura. Backmarker who keeps coming. Well placed and can feature in the finish.

Racing first-up today. Finished off last preparation second of 16 at Hanshin December 20 over 2000m, 1.75 len behind Basse Terre carrying 56.0kg at $10.80. On debut third of 10 at Hanshin December 6 over 2000m, 1.1 len behind Erhaben carrying 56.0kg at $13. Placed bot runs in first campaign and sure to be improved. This is an ideal race to kick off.
