Fukushima Race 2 - Maiden Race
DANON LUMIERE (2) First up after 27 weeks and missed by a narrow margin first up last preparation at Nakayama. Likely to be well placed early. Racing for a new trainer. Respect against this field. DEMPSEY (6) Honest race when 3rd last run at Chukyo. Should come to hand quickly. Must be considered. GLORIOUS NIKE (14) Teruhiko Chida 3yo by Glorious Noah having first race start. Watch early betting. KAZENO OMOIDE (9) Career debut 3yo by Isla Bonita for Yoshikatsu Sato. Betting as a guide.

Fresh today. At $126.00 unsatisfactory performance when 13th last time at Nakayama but gets a favourable draw. First appearance for a new trainer. Prefers to settle towards the tail. Lines up against a competitive field.

First up after 27 weeks and right up there first up last preparation at Nakayama. Displays good tactical speed. First start for a new trainer. Serious contender.

Fresh after a break. Jumped at $26.00 and clearly outclassed when 13th last run at this track and will be dropping in distance. Should muster plenty of early speed. This looks a tough assignment.

First up after a break of 26 weeks. Odds of $34.00 and tailed off to finish 7th last time at Tokyo and coming back in distance. Very unlikely to shake these.

First run back from a break. Odds of $151.00 and disappointing outing when 13th last run at Nakayama and back in trip. Will be giving the leaders a big start. Hard to see this being competitive today.

First up today. Jumped at $23.00 and folded up in the straight when 14th last start at Nakayama but having second career run. Likely to get back in the run. Long shot.

Had a break from racing and returns to competition. Odds of $15.00 and didn't threaten when 16th last time at Nakayama and back to a shorter trip. Prefer in a much weaker race.

Back after a spell. At $29.00 couldn't maintain the pace when 16th last time at Chukyo. Should race on the speed. Not at all out of this race.

Resumes from a break. Jumped at $67.00 and didn't attack the line when 16th last start at Kyoto. Has to improve out of sight.
