Morioka Race 5 - Race 5 - 1600
FOR ELISE (10) Ran 4th last run at Mizusawa. Should bounce back. Displays good finishing speed. Jockey Masatoshi Yamamoto has been successful before. Showing great form this campaign. Underrated. AYU TSURI (4) Just average when 12th last time at Mizusawa. Looks a great place bet. SILVER SPADE (8) Placed 2nd last start around here. Has the necessary speed to overcome the wide draw. Needs some luck and is an each way suggestion. CAPITAL PLANE (3) Finished 7th last time at Mizusawa. Likely to be well placed early. Knockout chance in this.

Worked home from a long way back when fifth at Mizusawa last start, although the margin was still nine and a half lengths behind Hecto Princess. The run prior was much sharper when third at this track in 3yo+ B2 grade, beaten half a length by El Professor at long odds. She has a 1600m win on the board, but For Elise had her measure recently, so the place line appeals more than the win.

Backing up after a plain ninth at Mizusawa where he was near the top of an open market but was beaten over 10 lengths by Pensee. He had made ground for fifth at Morioka Dirt the start before at big odds, yet this season remains winless and unplaced from five runs. His overall record is sound, but current form leaves him with too much to find.

Has been beaten just over eight lengths and just over nine lengths in two recent Mizusawa runs, so the finishing positions read better than the substance. The class drop and winning rider returning give her some scope to lift, and her past 12 months show two wins and four placings from 17 starts. She is a minor chance if she recaptures that steadier level of form.

Finished well held at Mizusawa last start after fading late behind Grand Croix, a sharp drop from her earlier third at Morioka Dirt when she had every chance and battled home. She has placed at this distance and gets a winning rider back, but the maiden record after 21 starts is hard to overlook. Others bring stronger winning evidence.

Returns from a six-week freshening after a solid third at this track, beaten just over two lengths by Precious Asset after she kept finding late. That was a clear return to competitive form following a heavy defeat at Mombetsu when unwanted in the market. She has placed in 10 of 25 starts and reunites with a leading track rider, making her a genuine winning threat despite the maiden record.

Comes back on a one-week turnaround after finishing sixth at Mizusawa, beaten over 13 lengths by Hollyanne and never getting into the race. His previous fifth was also well held, and the longer-term profile is a major concern with no placings from 19 starts in the past 12 months. The class drop is not enough to offset that pattern.

Settled rearward and made little impact when sixth at Mizusawa last start, beaten over 13 lengths by Sirius despite being near the top of an open market. She had run second the start before, but even that was a six-length defeat in 3yo+ C2 grade. One previous 1600m try produced no placing, so she must improve sharply to trouble the main hopes.

Returns from a six-week freshening after a strong second at this track, beaten just under a length by Precious Asset when the well-supported favourite. That followed a win at this venue where he beat Precious Asset by a length and a half, and his track-and-trip credentials are a clear edge. With two wins and four placings at the distance, he sets the standard and looks the one they have to beat.

Drops to 50kg and backs up quickly after an eighth at Mizusawa over 850m, where she was beaten only two and a half lengths after closing from the rear. The sharp rise to 1600m is a legitimate issue, with two previous attempts around the trip for no placing, and her previous 1200m run was plain. The weight relief gives her a place hope only.

Finished off from well back for fourth at Mizusawa last start, beaten just over three lengths by Shimasan Black, and that effort held merit. Two back she was heavily backed and pipped at this track in 3yo+ B2 grade, which remains a strong reference. Her overall record, track form and excellent strike with Masatoshi Yamamoto make her a serious player again.
