Fukushima Race 2 - Maiden Race
MRS LILY (5) showed good early dash when resuming last start and held on well to finish 1.75 lengths back in third over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. In the right race and is one of the big hopes. TAMAMO JASMINE (1) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 10 lengths away in third over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Should be prominent again from the low draw. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. PIKO PINK (9) is back after a break of five months. At the last run before the layoff she finished fourth over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Leading player on best figures - bold showing expected. QUEEN'S MERENGUE (8) has not raced since her debut back on January 25 when she finished fourth over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt. Expected to be right there at the business end.

Racing well. Most recently raced on speed throughout when 3rd of 12 at Hanshin Dirt on March 30 over 1800m, 10 len behind Shudun carrying 55.0kg at $4.90. The start before that crossed from a wide gate to lead but couldn't hold on when 3rd of 12 at Hanshin Dirt on March 15 over 1800m, 3 len behind Maximum Vista with 55.0kg at $8.50. One of the prime contenders in a most suitable contest.
