FUKUSHIMA   12 Apr 2026
 
GOING:

FUKUSHIMA MIMPO HAI(L) 2000m

Track:      

Off the low draw Peace One Duc is likely to find the lead at a slick tempo. GAIAMENTE (8) finished 4.5 lengths away in seventh last time out over 1800m at Kokura seven weeks ago. Made good late ground in a tougher race last time. Steps up in journey today. The testing material. SCHILTHORN (14) ran fifth at his latest appearance over 1800m at Kokura, clocking in 4 lengths from the winner. Big run expected. BARNABAS (13) reunites with Arata Saito after scoring with ease over 2000m at Kokura last time. Is going well this campaign, recording three wins from four starts. Looks one of the prime contenders. PEACE ONE DUC (2) is having his first run since January 31. Has a very good fresh record, scoring two times including one over 1600m at Nakayama at the start of last prep. Solid top-three hope.
