Fukushima Race 6 - Maiden Race
BELTRACCHI (2) was beaten 1.3 lengths into third at Tokyo two starts ago then finished 5 lengths from the winner in fifth last time at Nakayama. Blinkers go on today which might be significant. Terrific chance to return to form. JACKET POCKET (9) is a four-start maiden who resumed from a spell last start and was beaten 5 lengths when fourth over 2000m at Nakayama. Can come on from that run and looks a serious contender. GOLDEN DAGGER (10) resumes from a spell of ten weeks. Could only manage to finish fifth at the latest run over 2000m at Kokura. Among the chances while fresh. FORTINBRAS (1) is back after a break of ten weeks. At the last run before the lay-off he finished fifth over 1900m at Kyoto Dirt. Has ability so don't underestimate.
