Chukyo Race 9 - AZUSA SHO
MATENRO SKY (2) is a progressive three-year-old colt who hasn't raced since finishing second over 2000m at this track on January 5. Has never missed the frame when fresh from a spell in two starts. Has a strong record at this distance with a win and two minors from three starts and should be hard to stop. GAIA FORCE (6) returns from a nine weeks break and did win first-up last time in work over 2000m at Hanshin. Should camp just off the leaders. Best form puts him right in this. SAINT CAMELLIA (5) strode forward early from her wide draw to settle just off the lead then lifted to score by 3 lengths at this track over 2000m. Has a decent record at this track with a win and a placing from three starts. Expected to run well. SUNRISE ACE (1) is fresh from a last-start ninth, beaten 9 lengths, over 2400m at Tokyo. Has solid credentials.
