Fukushima Race 3 - Mdn Race
AUALII (13) Finished well when 3rd last start at Tokyo and promising career start. Should be going forward early. Tracking very well this preparation. Has to be strongly considered. NOBLE WINNER (9) Faded in the late stages of the race when 2nd beaten by 1 1/2L last start at Tokyo and having second race start. Goes very close. BACK TO THE STAR (10) Showed a good turn of foot when 2nd last run at Niigata and was a debutant last start. Will be there at the finish. IMPERIAL LIGHTS (12) Faded at the finish when 3rd beaten by 3 3/4L last start at Kyoto and fitter for debut run. Has shown early pace in races to date. Definite claims.

Improved first-up at Niigata when fourth behind Jasper Reve, beaten three and a half lengths after settling rearward as an outside chance in the betting. That was a cleaner effort than her Sapporo sixth, where she led but weakened and was unwanted in the market. Carries just 51kg and draws inside, but an overall record of no placings from three starts keeps her in the improvement category.

Returns from a three-month break after two plain Nakayama runs over 1600m. She was second last behind Eifer Marine, beaten over 19 lengths at long odds, after a debut 13th in NEWCOMER grade when finished well held behind I'M On A Roll. She is untried around 1200m and the exposed form leaves her with a sizeable task fresh.

Makes her debut with no race form to assess, so the market may be an important guide. The Yoshinori Muto stable has no wins or placings from 24 debut starters in the supplied figures, but the trainer-sire combination has placed seven times from 16 starts. That mixed profile warrants respect for a minor role without making a strong winning case before race day evidence appears.

Returns from a three-month break after finishing last at Hanshin Dirt, where she faded and was beaten out of sight behind Undine at generous odds. Her Kokura run prior was also well held in Open grade, though she had been near the top of an open market. One placing from three tries around 1200m gives a small anchor, but her recent form has to turn around sharply.

Has placed in both starts and went close at Niigata last time, finishing third behind Bel Me Gusta and beaten just under a length after finishing strongly at long odds. Her debut third at Tokyo in NEWCOMER grade was sound enough and she now has a 100% place record to lean on. Third-up and race fit, she profiles as a genuine place hope with enough upside to trouble the better chances.

Returns from a three-month break after being tailed off at Nakayama Dirt, where he conceded a huge start and was never in the race behind Alex K. His previous run at this track was also plain, finishing seventh and beaten eight and a half lengths at long odds after making no impression late. With no placings from three starts, he has to find a much stronger finish.

Worked home from an impossible position when fifth at Niigata, beaten four and a half lengths behind Jasper Reve at big odds. Her debut fourth at Nakayama had a similar closing shape, but she remains unplaced from two starts and has also missed a place in both runs at this distance. Third-up fitness helps, yet she still requires a sharper overall performance to be a factor.

Worked home well for fourth at Tokyo last start, finishing just behind the placegetters but still beaten five lengths behind Inside Edge at big odds. The run prior was only fair behind Sydney Harbour, and she also lost to Aualii at Tokyo about three weeks ago. Her two placings from two starts around 1200m are important, so she looks a realistic place hope rather than a dominant winning play.

Debuted with a strong on-speed performance at Tokyo, leading for a long way before finishing second to Mist Vale and beaten a length and a half in NEWCOMER company. She has not raced around 1200m, which is a small query, but that first run showed race sense and enough quality to be highly competitive in Mdn grade. With natural improvement second-up, she is one of the better winning chances.

Made a very encouraging debut at Niigata, running second to Wild Shacho and beaten a length and a half in an 18-runner NEWCOMER after being near the top of betting. He worked home well, so the performance had substance even though he now comes back to an untried 1200m. The class drop and natural improvement give him a strong winning case in this company.

Returns from a three-month break after a subdued debut at Chukyo, finishing tenth behind Bhinchari and beaten eight and a half lengths after settling rearward and making no impression. She was unwanted in the market that day, and while the class drop into Mdn company is some help, she is also new to 1200m. A clear step forward is required fresh.

Placed on debut at Kyoto in NEWCOMER grade, finishing third behind Sehzade and beaten just under four lengths in an 18-runner field after being safely held but still sticking on for a minor placing. He is new to 1200m, yet the race experience, Mdn class drop and 100% place record from one start give him the right profile. With normal improvement, he sets a strong standard here.

Has been consistently around the mark, finishing third at Tokyo last start behind Sydney Harbour when near the top of betting and beaten just over three lengths. Two back at Niigata he was fourth, beaten just under two lengths after being pipped at the post, so the form has depth despite the maiden status. The new 1200m trip is the question, but his race fitness and record keep him firmly in contention.

Finished fifth on debut at Niigata behind Wild Shacho, but the margin was over 12 lengths and he never looked likely after having many lengths to make up. He also meets Back To The Star again from that race, and that rival held a much stronger finishing position. The Mdn drop is a positive, but he is unplaced from one start and has to improve sharply to convert place claims.

Caught the eye late on debut at Niigata after having to make up plenty of ground, but he still finished fourth behind Wild Shacho and was beaten six and a half lengths at big odds. Back To The Star had him covered from the same race, so the form reference is only moderate. The class drop gives him scope to run better, though he will have to settle closer or finish much harder.

Worked home evenly for third at Tokyo last start behind Inside Edge, beaten just over four lengths at long odds, which was a better result than her seventh behind Sydney Harbour at the same venue. She remains winless from five starts, has no placings from two tries around 1200m and was beaten by Aualii at Tokyo about three weeks ago. A minor cheque is possible, but winning looks harder.
