Fukushima Race 9 - Fukushima Nisai Stakes
DAISHIN DRAGON (12) Ran well when 3rd last start at Nakayama and putting a tidy record together. Worth strong consideration. JASPER TRUENO (1) Tired in the final stages of the race when 4th last run at Nakayama and gets the perfect draw. Well placed and has solid claims. SHONAN HAAVE (8) Unimpressive effort when 8th last start at Nakayama but good career start. Won't be far away. LA CHIAVE (2) Resuming after a spell. Led and controlled the pace when winning by a margin of a head last start at Niigata and can find a nice position from the draw. One of the major players.

Returns from a two-month let-up after finishing fourth at Nakayama, beaten three and a half lengths, when sent out favourite and leading. He had also run fourth in the G3 CHUKYO NISAI STAKES, beaten just over four lengths after being swamped late, so the form has substance. One win from two starts at this distance and barrier 1 keep him firmly in the winning mix.

Resumes from a three-month break after leading throughout in a Niigata Dirt Mdn, scoring by a neck over Iris Rosso when near the top of betting. Her debut at Tokyo Dirt was poor, dropping out to be beaten 25 lengths, so the profile is mixed. Proven at 1200m and lightly raced, she has enough upside to be a realistic placing chance in this stronger assignment.

Battled on fairly for fourth in an ALLOW at Tokyo last start, beaten just under six lengths after being unwanted in the market. The start prior was another fourth at Niigata, beaten six lengths at long odds, and she did not quicken. Her one previous 1200m run was a win at this venue, but recent figures say she has to find sharper acceleration.

Worked home well for fourth at Kyoto last start, beaten two and a half lengths over 1400m, and that followed a dominant Hanshin Mdn win where she kicked clear to beat Katsu Daruma by five lengths. She is one from one at around 1200m and rates highly on the available time measures. That blend of recent form and trip suitability makes her a serious winning player.

Was safely held in an ALLOW at Tokyo Dirt last start, finishing ninth and beaten over 11 lengths after giving away a big start and never getting into the race. The counterpoint is his prior Tokyo Dirt Mdn win, where he picked up strongly to score by two and a half lengths over Amber Bullet. A placing at around 1200m helps, but he must rebound sharply.

Returns from a six-week freshening after finishing fifth at Kyoto, beaten two lengths in an ALLOW when working home evenly from an outside-chance market position. Her previous run was sixth in the G3 Hakodate Nisai Stakes, beaten just under four lengths after picking up nicely. With one win from three at around 1200m, she profiles as a genuine place prospect.

Finished fifth in an ALLOW at Tokyo last start, beaten just over six lengths at big odds after being run down late. Two back she was second last at Sapporo, again at big odds, and the final effort was only moderate. The return to a trip where she has won and the winning rider coming back are positives, but recent form leaves her with plenty to lift.

Returns from a two-month let-up after finishing second last at Nakayama, beaten over 16 lengths with no real excuse. His previous run was far better, winning a Mdn at this track by just over a length from A I Kuai, and his venue record is sound with a win and a placing from two starts. If he can recapture that local form, a minor cheque is within reach.

Led in a Mdn at this track last week but faded to finish seventh, beaten just over eight lengths, and was unwanted in the market. The run prior was a ninth at Sapporo, beaten five lengths after failing to muster in the straight. She has placed once from three starts at around 1200m, but the quick back-up and winless record make this a difficult task.

Finished seventh in an ALLOW at Tokyo last start, beaten just over nine lengths at big odds, and was only fair through the line. His previous Sapporo eighth was no stronger, beaten just under five lengths after travelling in touch without threatening. He has one career win, but is unplaced from his only try around 1200m and others have stronger current claims.

Returns from a two-month let-up after finishing sixth at Nakayama, beaten just under seven lengths when lacking a change of gears late. He had been tenth in the G3 Hakodate Nisai Stakes the start prior, beaten just over six lengths, and has since been through form lines involving stronger chances here. A 1200m win is noted, but he has to raise his level.

Returns from a two-month let-up with the strongest recent body of work, having finished third at Nakayama last start, beaten just under two lengths, after tracking the speed and working home evenly. Before that he was third in the G3 Hakodate Nisai Stakes, beaten two lengths. One win and two places from four at around 1200m underline a very solid winning case.
