Morioka Race 9 - Race 9 - 1600

TAIKI COURAGE (5) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race last time out, finishing second and beaten only one length over 1600m at this track after being in contention on the bend. Masatoshi Yamamoto gets the best out of this five-year-old entire. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. YAMANIN BALTORO (2) was prominent at the corner and ran a better race last start to finish a close third over 1600m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Must raise the bar but another big run will not surprise. MONTSAINT IL VENTO (6) was in the money two starts back at Mizusawa but couldn't back it up last time when seventh, beaten 11 lengths, at this track over 1600m. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. DIOPHANTUS (1) was last at the races when he finished seventh over 1400m at Sonoda on March 12. Now under the care of new trainer Kazumune Ito. Can make his presence felt.

When resuming last campaign seventh of 10 at Sonoda November 5 over 1400m, 17 len behind Belfast carrying 56kg at $19.20. Sure to be thereabouts.

Racing well recently. Last start made ground from midfield; 2nd of 9 at this track on July 13 over 1600m, 1.0 len behind Kenja carrying 56kg at $1.90. The run before that ran on from midfield; 2nd of 11 at Mizusawa on June 29 over 1600m, 0.8 len behind Yamanin Billow carrying 56kg at $4.20. Hard to beat if he brings his A-game.
