Fukushima Race 5 - Maiden Race
MIENO STRONG (8) is going well but is still a maiden after four runs. Was popular in betting last time out but didn't live up to market expectations, finishing fourth over 2000m at Kokura. Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through. HEROIC VERSE (13) is a five-start maiden who finished second over 2000m at Kokura last time out after being prominent at the bend. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. BRAND NEW HOME (11) finished third last time over 2000m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten 2 lengths. Finding form and poses a serious threat. TRECE DE ORO (15) is back after a break of 11 weeks. Started last campaign in encouraging fashion before the form tapered. Solid top-three hope.
