Fukushima Race 5 - Fukushima 5r
Wide-open maiden of first starters where barrier draws and weights are the clearest guides. Narrow lean to MAVRI SKIA (1), who maps to use the inside gate over 1200m and carry 55kg. TOKAI ROSATO (2) appeals with 52kg and a soft draw to stalk the speed. BLUE LEGEND (13) looks a likely on-pace type at 56kg and has a straightforward alley to blend in. BOLD THUNDER (8) also profiles as a handy colt at 56kg and can hold a spot from mid-gates. Slight preference to MAVRI SKIA (1) from the fence in a cautious verdict.
