Fukushima Race 5 - Maiden Race
YAMAME HOPE (1) was doing his best work late last start to get up for third over 1800m at Nakayama. Expected to be in the finish again. KUSHI MA TRUE (8) raced on the speed when resuming last start over this course and distance and stuck on well to finish second, beaten 0.8 lengths. Nicely placed to go one better. ECORO LOVER (14) resumes from a spell of nine weeks and looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1800m at Kokura. Tricky draw to overcome. Among the chances while fresh. BELLE RENCONTRE (9) finished 5.5 lengths away in fourth at her last appearance over 1800m at Nakayama on March 29. Worth including in this suitable contest.
