Comments

Finished sixth in B1 grade at Morioka Dirt last start, beaten seven lengths after working home evenly at big odds. The start prior was similar, finishing fifth over 1000m after settling rearward and keeping on without threatening. He is a proven track-and-distance winner and Kazen Nango knows him well, but at 11 years of age he has to find a sharper finish to worry the stronger chances.

Expected Settling Position: Off Midfield

Drops out of ALLOW company after two Niigata runs that read poorly on paper, the latest a second-last when beaten over 14 lengths at long odds. Her ninth two back had more merit, beaten only three lengths after leading until late. Third-up and with Shinobu Murakami taking the ride, she gets the class relief to rebound despite having her first go around 850m.

Comments

Closed off from well back when sixth behind Rikea Sable at Morioka Dirt last start, beaten just over four lengths, which was better than the finishing position suggests. He had earlier run fourth over 1200m after settling rearward. His two wins at this track and distance and strong record with Tatsunori Sugawara are positives, but he is still searching for the level required to beat these.

Comments

Comes through a strong Morioka Dirt win over 1000m, scoring by two and a half lengths from Forever Try after being sent out an odds-on favourite. That followed a sound third behind Confianza, beaten the same margin, so his recent form is solid and reliable. The 850m record is positive enough, and from a leading stable-rider combination he profiles as a genuine player again.

Comments

Ran fourth behind Rikea Sable at Morioka Dirt last start, beaten three lengths after settling rearward, and the margin leaves him with some ground to make up. The run prior was stronger when second to Al Shanti, beaten just over a length in an open market. Toshiki Yamamoto has a good association with him, but his unplaced record at 850m makes him more a place hope than a firm winning play.

Scored decisively at Morioka Dirt last start, beating Seeking The Birth by three lengths after being sent out a prohibitive odds-on favourite and putting the race away quickly. She had been just as genuine when beaten a neck in B1 company at this track start prior. The 850m record is still light, but her current form and track record make her the benchmark runner.

Resumed with a second to Rikea Sable at Morioka Dirt, beaten two and a half lengths after leading to the turn and being run down late. That was a clear improvement on her previous run at this venue, when eighth in COND grade and beaten over 12 lengths at long odds. She is fitter second-up, but the first try at 850m and past track record leave her with work to do.

Comments

Worked home from a rearward position when fifth in B1 grade at Morioka Dirt last start, beaten just under four lengths, and that was a fair improvement on his second-last over 1400m the run before. The return to 850m is important, with one win from three starts at this track and distance, and the class drop gives him a solid platform to turn recent efforts into a winning threat.

Expected Settling Position: Off Midfield

Comments

Returns from a four-month break after ending last campaign with two heavy defeats at Morioka Dirt, the latest last behind Juno Vert and beaten out of sight when unwanted in the market. She had been beaten over 18 lengths start prior, so recent race evidence is a concern. Her broader record of three wins from 13 starts and a leading trainer are positives, but she must return in far better order.

Comments

Finished last in B1 grade at Morioka Dirt last start, beaten just under nine lengths after settling midfield and failing to come on. The start prior was also plain, a tenth over 1200m when beaten over 13 lengths at long odds. She has placed three times from seven starts at this track and distance and has a fair jockey-horse record, but recent form leaves a sizeable gap to bridge.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace
