Morioka Race 4 - Race 4 - 1200
ANIMAL KIRISHIMA (2) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 2 lengths away in third over 1200m at this track. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. LENIS (4) lined up for start 30 last time and after sitting on the pace she dropped away to finish fifth over 1200m at this track, beaten 8 lengths. Should camp just off the leaders. Leading contender. RAMESSES (9) finished out of the money when sixth over 1200m at this track a week ago. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. ARDE MURATA (7) finished fourth in a 1200m contest at this track at her latest appearance. Well placed to turn things around.

At the latest run second last of 9 at this track on May 18 over 1200m, 8 len behind A Shin Nucimasnu carrying 56kg at $31. Before that got back early 7th of 11 at this track on May 5 over 1000m, 10 len behind Itemae Dasen carrying 56kg at $75.80. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.

Racing well recently. At the latest run 4th of 10 at this track on May 10 over 1200m, 8 len behind Shala with 54kg at $10.30. The run before that 4th of 11 at this track on May 4 over 1200m, 2.5 len behind Sparkle Gem with 54kg at $12. Better than that recent lacklustre performance suggests.
