Fukushima Race 1 - Fukushima 1R Eqplayerbuttonbyaccount('202502030701', 2);

SHIHONO SPERANZA (3) finished fourth when fresh from a spell last start in a steeplechase (3110m) at Hanshin with today's rider Takada steering. Leading contender with that run under the belt. FREEDOM REIGN (5) finished fifth two runs ago in a maiden steeplechase (2890m) at Niigata. Was far more impressive last time when he saluted in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura. Hard to fault on his recent run. SPEARHEAD (2) returns from a 231-day spell. Concluded the last campaign finishing seventh in a steeplechase (3570m) at Nakayama, beaten 10 lengths. Already a winner over the obstacles. Sure to be primed and expected to be prominent. WORLD SCALE (4) was unplaced two starts ago in a steeplechase (3170m) at Kyoto then produced a better result last start when he wound up in sixth, beaten 8 lengths, in a steeplechase (3290m) at Niigata. No surprise to see him back in form.
