Morioka Race 8 - Race 8 - 1200
SMART HUNTER (8) was sixth last time but solid enough when beaten 4.5 lengths at Mizusawa over 1600m. Had recorded a string of wins and placings prior. Best figures measure up nicely. Likely to run well. BULLDOG KING (5) got well back over 1400m at Mizusawa last time and never threatened but was going well with a string of top-two finishes. Toshiya Yamamoto gets the best out of this four-year-old entire. Ideally placed and may take plenty of stopping. STORM SURGE (7) finished fourth two runs back at Mizusawa then improved last time out to score by a head over 850m at Mizusawa. Likely to be there at the finish again. TENGU CLUB (1) was unwanted in betting last time but scored by 5 lengths over 1400m at Mizusawa. Goes well at this trip, recording seven minor placings and should be in the finish.

Racing well recently. Last start won by 5 len at Mizusawa June 15 over 1400m defeating Amazing Star carrying 55kg at $17. The race before that 2nd of 10 at Mizusawa on June 2 over 850m, neck behind Goreijo with 55kg at $6.30. Draws the fence and looks a genuine chance.

Form hard to fault. Most recently ran on from midfield and won by a head at Mizusawa June 16 over 850m defeating Luar with 56kg at $12.40. The start before that 4th of 10 at Mizusawa on June 2 over 850m, 3 len behind Goreijo with 56kg at $37.50. Big chance to make it back-to-back successes.
