Morioka Race 4 - Race 4 - 1200
FRANCES GULLIVER (5) Finished 8th last run at Niigata. Can make a comeback. Racing for a new trainer. Has plenty of early speed. One of the better chances. SHIAWASENO LAMP (3) First up after a break. Was ordinary when 9th last start at the track. Can make a comeback. First race for a new trainer. Right in this. LIVE GIMLET (7) Finished 7th last start at Mizusawa. Might take a while to wind up but should be hitting top gear in the straight. Don't disregard. JUNREI (2) Backing up quickly for this race. Mediocre display when 8th last time at Mizusawa but drawn nicely. Possesses very good finishing speed. Among the chances.

Has been a long way from competitive at his past two runs, most recently finishing second last at Mizusawa when beaten a long way after conceding a huge start. The run prior was another ninth at Mizusawa, well beaten at long odds. A class drop and race fitness are in his favour, but the 1200m record remains poor and a sharp lift is required.

Third-up now after two plain runs this campaign, finishing eighth at Mizusawa last start when well beaten by 26 lengths. He was also ninth there the run prior after settling rearward and weakening late, while the market has shown little interest. The class drop is a small positive, but his form to date makes him difficult to recommend with confidence.

Returns from a five-month break after ending last campaign with two well-held runs at this track, each time finishing second last and beaten over 16 lengths. That is the clear concern, though she does bring a past win at this track and distance and is now with Naoki Nishino. Her overall record is modest, but proven venue form keeps her in the minor-money conversation.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing last in a 3yo Maiden at Niigata Dirt, beaten over 18 lengths after conceding a huge start. Her only other run ended in a failure to finish at Fukushima, and she has also been beaten by Jubel Sieg earlier this campaign. The class drop and Ryo Takamatsu booking help, but she must show far more.

Returns from a six-week freshening after an eighth in a 3yo Maiden at Niigata Dirt, beaten six and a half lengths after settling well back and working home fairly. Two back she tracked the speed over 1700m at Morioka but could not finish it off. Dropping into C2 grade looks a far better set-up, and her recent ratings profile makes her a major winning threat.

Returns from a six-week freshening with the strongest exposed form in the race. She was ninth in a 3yo Maiden at Sapporo last start, beaten just over five lengths, after a fair run to the line, and the Hakodate effort prior was better again when beaten just under four lengths after making good ground. Still seeking a first placing at 1200m, but the class drop and leading stable-rider combination make her the one to beat.

Has been safely held in both recent runs, finishing seventh at Mizusawa last start when beaten over 17 lengths and unable to make headway. The previous run at this track was similar, conceding a huge start and finishing seventh, beaten over 12 lengths. Class relief offers some help, but six unplaced career runs tell the story.

Comes back quickly after finishing sixth at Mizusawa five days ago, beaten over 17 lengths after giving away too much start. The prior run was another sixth there, beaten over 11 lengths, though he was at least fair through the line from an impossible position. He is race fit and back in suitable grade, so he profiles as a place hope rather than a clear winning option.
