GOING:

THE FUKUSHIMA HIMBA STAKES 1800m

Track:      

Keen tempo with Conduire and Lady Marion prominent. PARADIS REINE (3) ran very when resuming over 1800m in the G3 Nakayama Himba Stakes last start, finishing third and beaten 1.4 lengths. Has never been out of the placings at the second run back from a spell from three tries and should be better for that first-up run. Ready to find peak form this time. CANELA FINA (10) is a promising filly with a great record when fresh-up including three wins. Expected to play a major role. KOGANENO SORA (13) goes well fresh and all four career wins have been at this trip. Excellent chance. MIKKI GORGEOUS (6) is a strong fresh-up performer and won only attempt this journey. Anticipating a bright start to this prep.
