Morioka Race 4 - Race 4 - 1400
SHALA (5) was in control from the outset to score on debut over 1200m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Sure to be further improved and can make it back-to-back wins. OPTICS (7) has accrued four minor placings from five runs this campaign. Continued the trend at the most recent appearance when runner-up over 1400m at this track after he was always up in the leading division. In a suitable race and can build on solid recent form. ASCOT LEI (4) was solidly backed last time out but could only manage seventh over 1200m at this track. Drawn to stalk the leaders. One of the main contenders. YAMANIN RIVALRY (3) has not won for a long while. Last raced on November 2 when beaten 5 lengths into fifth at this track over 1000m. Well placed and can fill a top-three spot.
