Morioka Race 5 - Race 5 - 1400
GOLD FREEDOM (9) was safely held in better company two runs back then appreciated the easier grade last time, scoring over 1200m at this track. Found winning form back at the right level last start and looks hard to beat. G T HIRARI (8) was an impressive winner last time over 1200m at this track, stalking the pace before lengthening nicely to score by 3 lengths. Sure to measure up again. NAMURA DEGAS (6) safely held two back on the JRA circuit then appreciated the easier company last time and led throughout to score over 1200m at this track. Well placed and among the leading players again. MATSURIDA SIRIUS (4) struggled in a far tougher race two back but last time did much better in more suitable company when 1.5 lengths away in second at this track. Rates highly on best form so do not underestimate.

The start before that got back early 12th of 15 at Fukushima Dirt on July 18 over 1700m, 11 len behind Squeeze Out carrying 57.0kg at $69.90. Can easily finish right over the top of these.

Recent form sound. At the latest run sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 10 at this track on August 16 over 1400m, 10 len behind Kitanolesclefsd'or with 53kg at $16.10. The start before that made ground from midfield; 2nd of 10 at this track on August 3 over 1200m, 4 len behind Mikino History carrying 53kg at $7.90. Better than that recent moderate performance suggests.
