FUKUSHIMA DIRT   28 Jun 2026
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 1150m

Track:      

Iikuni Passion and Satono Wagner possess good early speed. SATONO WAGNER (6) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third last start over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt. Will take advantage of the good draw. Ready to win after a solid performance last time out. IIKUNI PASSION (7) resumes from a spell of five-and-a-half months after closing off last preparation with three consecutive minor placings. Has a high cruising speed. Leading contender. MIRABILLION (11) is a seven-start maiden who finished fifth, beaten 5.5 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt. Will derive great benefit from that outing and deserves consideration. LIA ARTESIAN (2) finished 3.5 lengths away in sixth at her last appearance over 1000m at Niigata on May 10. Likely to be thereabouts.
