Morioka Race 8 - Race 8 - 1200
PITTAM NUNMUL (8) finished third as favourite last time out over 1400m at Mizusawa, making it two minor placings from three starts this time in work. Gets her chance to break through. VENUS KIC (2) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 6 lengths away in third over 1300m at Mizusawa when she was in the firing line all the way. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SPUNKY WAVE (9) is back after a break of four-and-a-half months. At the last run before the layoff she finished sixth over 1400m at Urawa. One of the leading chances. AURA BEAST (4) is back after a break of eight months. At the last run before the layoff he finished seventh over 1400m at Mizusawa. Solid top-three hope.
