Fukushima Race 1 - Mdn Race
DONA BIG BEN (5) Good run when finishing 2nd beaten by 1/2L last run at Niigata and promising career start. Has not missed the placings this preparation in 2 attempts. Will give a big sight. SANONO SOLDIER (4) In the money when 2nd last run at Tokyo and having second career run. Shows very good closing speed. Must respect in this event. IRIS ROSSO (3) Resuming after a spell. Right up there last start at Niigata and solid career start. Expected to be flashing home. Key player. EARTH GRIPPER (7) Couldn't stay in touch when 11th last time at Hanshin. Possesses good closing speed. Good prospects.

Returns from a lengthy spell after being well beaten on debut at Kokura, finishing last in a NEWCOMER and beaten over 17 lengths behind Maru Mori Muso. He settled rearward, was at long odds and offered no clear excuse, so the class drop and 52kg help only around the edges. From barrier one he can get a kinder run, but he has a sizeable form gap to close.

Made a fair debut when fifth in a NEWCOMER at Niigata Dirt, beaten just under six lengths by Seilalu Lemon after settling rearward. She was only an outside chance in betting, so the effort had some merit without screaming winner next time. Second-up in a Mdn, she has a base to improve from and profiles as a realistic placing hope rather than a dominant chance.

Resumes after three months off following a narrow second at Niigata Dirt, where she tracked the speed and fought hard to miss by a neck behind La Chiave. That backed up a second at Sapporo Dirt two back, beaten three and a half lengths after being sent out at long odds. With two placings from three starts and a placing at this trip, she has the consistency to make a strong winning case fresh.

Worked home well on debut when second in a Tokyo Dirt NEWCOMER over 1300m, beaten two lengths by Grass Rally as a short odds-on favourite. He now comes back to 1150m for the first time, which is the one query, but the debut rating and market confidence give him a firm platform. With that experience under the belt, he sits high among the winning hopes.

Went within half a length of breaking through at Niigata Dirt last start, sent out favourite and pipped at the post by Yotsuba. She had also led and was only run down late at Nakayama Dirt, beaten just over half a length, so the recent pattern is strong. Third-up, race fit and placed three times from four tries around this distance, she has the most reliable winning profile in the race.

Makes her debut with limited exposed race evidence, so the market will be important. The 52kg is a small positive and half-sibling Chinon has won, but the trainer debut figures supplied are modest and there is no race form to measure against several placed runners. She may have scope, yet this looks a demanding first assignment on paper.

Back after two months off following a poor Hanshin Dirt run, finishing 11th and beaten over 15 lengths behind Squamish after weakening late despite being near the top of betting. Her Chukyo Dirt third two starts back, beaten five lengths by Red Nebula, is the better reference. Weight relief and a placing from two tries at this distance keep her in the minor mix, but she must rebound sharply.

Back from two months away after a plain debut at Nakayama, finishing 11th in a NEWCOMER and beaten eight and a half lengths by Silver Norida. She was in the right spot but offered little when asked, and the market had her at long odds. The class drop provides a softer setting, but she has to show much more second-up to trouble the better exposed runners.

Resumes after two months away off a fourth at Nakayama Dirt, where she was beaten just over four lengths by Momi Suke after travelling in touch and only working home fairly. She had earlier finished fourth in a small field at Fukushima, well held behind O Seikei. The stable has strong credentials, but she is unplaced from three starts and again looks more a place chance than a win play.

Makes her first race start for Yoshinori Arakawa, whose supplied debut record is one win from 21 starters. The family has produced winners, including Sagano Oumasan, Beat Umazammai and Luath Gloir, but there is no race-day evidence for this filly yet. Against rivals with narrow maiden placings already banked, she has to prove herself at the first attempt.

Resumes after two months away following a debut fifth in a Nakayama NEWCOMER, beaten two and a half lengths by Satono Hakumai at generous odds. She was only fair to the line, but the margin was sound enough and this Mdn looks a more suitable target. The drop back to around 1150m is new territory, yet her debut figure gives her a genuine chance to improve quickly.

Resumes after three months off following two plain Sapporo runs, finishing tenth last start when unwanted in the market and beaten seven lengths by Gal's Mind. Her debut was heavier again, 11th and beaten over 16 lengths behind Oeillet D'Inde after failing to finish off. The 52kg helps, but her race form so far leaves her with a major improvement task.

Returns from a lengthy spell after finishing 11th on debut at Niigata, beaten over 12 lengths by Beau Decor in a NEWCOMER at big odds. She settled rearward and made no impression late, so there was no obvious hidden merit in the run. A Mdn assignment is easier than debut grade, but she is untried around 1150m and has plenty to prove first-up.

Returns from a lengthy spell after finishing ninth at Niigata, beaten six and a half lengths by Lyrical Flair when she sat handy but could not quicken. Her debut fourth at Fukushima was far better, beaten a length and a half by Picnic March after battling on well. She has one unplaced try around this trip, so a return to debut form is required to land a minor cheque.

Improved second-up when third at Niigata Dirt, beaten just over two lengths by Yotsuba after being unwanted in the market. That was a clear better effort than his Chukyo Dirt 14th two back, where he faded and was beaten over 17 lengths behind Smart Potion. The latest run puts him in the place discussion, but he still has to confirm it was genuine progression rather than a one-off spike.

Debuts from the K Kayano yard with 52kg, and the family offers some substance through half-siblings such as Champ Tiger, Amaryllis Rosso and Adamas Nero. The supplied trainer debut record is still light, with no wins from 25 starters, and she begins from a wide barrier. With no race form to assess, she looks one to monitor rather than support with confidence.
