Fukushima Race 11 - Michinoku Stakes

MARBLE PALACE (14) First up and ran home strongly to win first up last preparation at Hakodate. Will be well suited at the distance. Expect to go close. IMBROGLIO (2) Flew home to win last start at Hanshin and suited at this distance historically. Will try to take advantage of the alley. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. BABY KISS (7) Assumed control from the start to win by a margin of a head last run at Niigata. Appears well in this. ASTI SPUMANTE (5) Fresh after a break. Finished strongly when 3rd beaten by 1L last run at Sapporo. Daito Ozawa is a bonus. Has the ability to figure.

Comments

Returns from a three-month break after fading to 14th at Sapporo, beaten just under six lengths by Namura Clara after holding a narrow lead. The prior Nakayama ninth in Listed company was more respectable, beaten two and a half lengths, and the 1200m record is strong. Even so, recent form has been below his old level and he will have to lift sharply.

Comments

Returns from a two-month let-up after a determined Hanshin win, picking up strongly to beat Marino Tonitrus by half a length as favourite in an open market. That followed a Kokura win over Mikino Baccarat, so the recent form is both current and reliable. Four wins from nine starts at this trip underline her suitability, and she has the right profile to take beating again.

Comments

Returns from a four-month break after finishing second last at this track, beaten just over six lengths by Masano Canaria when never a winning threat. The earlier fifth here in Open grade was better, especially from long odds, and his two wins and one place from seven starts at this track and distance are a solid platform. More a place hope than a win anchor.

Placed third in the Listed LUMIERE AUTUMN DASH at Niigata, beaten a length and a half on soft ground despite being unwanted in the market. That was a clear rebound from his 13th in the G3 Ibis Summer Dash. He has won and placed at this track and distance, but the broader 1200m record is only fair, keeping him in the minor-money mix.

Returns from a three-month freshening after finishing third at Sapporo, beaten a length by Namura Clara after working into the race well. She had won an ALLOW at Hakodate two runs back, beating Pax Romana, and Daito Ozawa has a good record on her. Three placings from three attempts at this track and distance add to a genuine winning case fresh.

Returns from a three-month break after a sixth at Sapporo, beaten two and a half lengths by Namura Clara when unwanted in the market. That was at least better than the heavy defeat on Tokyo Dirt two runs back, but she is unplaced in all four starts this season. Her overall record is sound, yet recent race form leaves her with plenty to prove.

Won at Niigata last start, holding off Chicago Sting by a neck after being near the top of an open market. The run prior over 1000m was plain, but she is race fit now and returns to a trip where she has three wins and six placings from 15 starts. Kazuki Kikuzawa knows her well, and the current form gives her a strong chance to go on with it.

Returns from a lengthy eight-month spell after finishing 11th in the G1 NHK Mile Cup, beaten just over five lengths by Rodeo Drive. Her win two starts back in the G2 Hochi Hai Fillies Revue was high-class, coming over the top of Saint Antoine, but she has not raced at around 1200m before. Quality keeps her in play, though the trip is the key test.

Resumes after an eight-month spell following a close Nakayama third in Listed company, beaten just under a length by Craspedia at long odds. His previous Hanshin fourth was also competitive, and three wins plus one place from seven starts at this track and distance is a strong statistic. The long break keeps the assessment measured, but he is not without place interest.

Returns from a five-month break after finishing second last at Hakodate, beaten just over five lengths by Black Chalice at long odds. His Kyoto fourth two runs back was better, though he failed to finish it off there as well. Four wins and eleven places overall show past merit, but being unplaced in all six starts in the past 12 months is the main concern.

Returns from a six-month spell after finishing 13th in the Listed AZUCHIJO STAKES, beaten just over seven lengths by Ecoro Bloom after settling a long way back. The prior Kyoto ninth followed a similar pattern. He does have two wins at around 1200m, but his record at this track and distance is bare, so a minor placing looks the more realistic target.

Returns from a lengthy eight-month spell after a sixth in Listed grade at Niigata, beaten just under three lengths by Run For Vow after making ground from well back. Her previous Nakayama run was less effective, beaten six and a half lengths. A solid overall record gives her some appeal, but one unplaced try around 1200m leaves her with a trip question.

Returns from a four-month break after an 11th on Fukushima Dirt, beaten five and a half lengths by Jo Roligt at long odds. The Niigata Dirt tenth before that was also below the level required despite market respect. His career place rate is good and he has one win plus five placings at the distance, but recent efforts point to an improvement task.

Returns from a three-month freshening after a ninth at Sapporo, beaten just under three lengths by Namura Clara when settling rearward. That followed a tough Hakodate ALLOW win over Melt Your Heart, and her four wins from six starts at around 1200m are hard to ignore. Still lightly raced with four wins from eight overall, she has a genuine rebound profile.

Returns from a five-month break after finishing fourth at Ohi, beaten six and a half lengths by Zelos at long odds after working home from well back. He was favourite when second at Funabashi the run prior, but this is a different assignment. His distance record is excellent, yet he has to transfer that profile into stronger turf company before being trusted.

Returns from a four-month break after finishing tenth in the G3 Ibis Summer Dash, beaten just over six lengths by Puro Magic at big odds. He was also well held in the Listed LUMIERE AUTUMN DASH two runs back. Two wins and three places from seven starts at this track and distance are positives, but his current form line remains a significant hurdle.
