Fukushima Race 5 - Maiden Race
CONFIANZA (16) comes here off a break of nine weeks. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1200m at Kokura. Looks a winning chance. SAKATOKU FAITH (12) is a first-starter by Danon Smash out of Manabu Faith. Expected to have ability. Watch the market closely. LYRA VEGA (9) is back from a break and has placed fresh. Rates highly and expected to feature, ANGEL SON (8) is a three-year-old colt (Benbatl - Angel Kana) making his debut. Profiles strongly for this. Should be ready to fire.
