Chukyo Race 4 - Maiden Race
WHISKER PAD (10) ran a much better race at her second outing last start to finish second over 2000m at Kokura after being in the firing line on the bend. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. BRIGHT AIRY (3) is a five-start maiden who finished eighth, beaten 6 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1800m at Kokura. Among the leading chances with the run under her belt. LOSANGE (11) is fitter for two runs back from a spell, progressing nicely last time to finish third, beaten 2.25 lengths, at Kokura over 2000m. Among the leading chances. MEISHO HUNTER (14) is a three-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Kodai Hasegawa. By Indy Champ from Meisho Minazuki. Pay to watch for any positive betting moves.

Returns from a 36-day let-up. At the latest run faded in the straight 9th of 11 at Kyoto Dirt on February 14 over 1900m, 15 len behind Meisho Akari with 57.0kg at $45.10. The run before that couldn't go on with it; 6th of 10 at Kyoto Dirt on February 1 over 1900m, 13 len behind Ask Chance Man carrying 57.0kg at $26.10. Better than that recent lacklustre performance suggests.
