FUKUSHIMA   26 Apr 2026
 
GOING:

MORGANITE STAKES 1200m

Track:      

Carro Veloce should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. SOUND MORYANA (6) fought on to score a narrow win at Nakayama over today's trip at her last appearance on March 29. Down in the weights this time. Speedy filly who is a strong winning chance again. so another big run is on the cards. CARRO VELOCE (5) returns from a layoff of ten weeks. Won only try course and distance and goes best when fresh. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. ITSUMO NIKONIKO (8) lines up for the first time since December 28. Looking to emulate her win at this track when returning from a spell last prep. Comes here with definite top-three claims. NAMURA ROSEMARY (14) defied a lack of market support last start, scoring by 1.3 lengths over 1200m at Hanshin. Hard to fault winning form. Can go on with it.
