Chukyo Race 5 - Maiden Race
BIG HERO (6) finished third, beaten 3.5 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1800m at Hanshin after he was in contention on the bend. Likely improver with strong prospects. AGAINST ODDS (7) is returning from a spell of ten weeks. Finished 16th at Kyoto Dirt over 1400m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer M Saito. Capable of playing a major role. ENVELOPE (3) finished third last time over 1800m at Kokura when resuming from a spell, beaten 1.5 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. CALL LOVE (5) returns after ten weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fifth over 1600m at Kyoto. Has ability and is worth including.
