Morioka Race 8 - Race 8 - 1200
LIGHT BLUE SKY (1) Backing up quickly for this race. Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last start at Mizusawa and will appreciate a good alley. Has plenty of early speed. Right in the thick of it and is a major player. M T TOP (3) Placed 3rd last start at Mizusawa. Should come to hand quickly. Has genuine claims in this race. MUMTY TIME (2) Ran 7th last run at Mizusawa but gets a favourable draw. Will be giving the leaders a big start. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. NEXT DOOR (4) Didn't find the line when 16th last run at Sapporo and dropping back to a shorter trip. Good each way value for punters.

Battled on soundly for second behind Kitano Sovereign at Mizusawa six days ago, beaten five lengths after leading and being claimed shortly after. That was a better effort than her previous eighth as favourite, where she settled back and made no impression. The quick return and 1200m record keep the win query alive, but she has enough recent form to hold minor claims.

Has been safely held in 3yo B2 company at Mizusawa, finishing seventh behind Schnee Dream last start after having too much to do and sixth behind Combat Camo two back. Both runs came at big odds and she has been unplaced in all 14 starts over the past 12 months. The class drop and past win at this venue help only marginally; she must find much more.

Worked home evenly for third behind S C Yamato at Mizusawa last start, beaten just over two lengths and respected near the top of an open market. That was a clear return to form after a plain sixth behind Combat Taurus. She carries only 50kg, has placed twice from five tries around 1200m, and her overall record gives this profile real substance.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing last behind Derma Fuji in a 3yo Maiden at Sapporo, beaten over 11 lengths after offering little late. His prior run at Niigata Dirt was also well held, so the recent form is plain. The positives are the class drop, third-up timing and lighter assignment, though 1200m is new and he profiles more as a place chance than a solid win play.

Finished last behind Schnee Dream at Mizusawa last start, beaten over 14 lengths after conceding a huge start and never entering the race. She had also been well held when eighth behind Combat Camo and was unwanted in the market. Her 1200m placing record offers a small counterpoint, but a 27-start maiden record leaves her with plenty to prove.

Finished a distant last behind Hyakugimaru at Mizusawa last week after never making headway, and the run prior was another heavy defeat behind Gabby's D'Etoile. She remains a maiden after 16 starts and is unplaced from seven starts at this track and distance. Even with a class drop, she will have to lift sharply to trouble these.

Was beaten out of sight behind Hyakugimaru last week after being in touch before dropping out, so she has to leave that run behind. Her previous second behind Kamino Teio was far better, leading and fighting on until late at long odds. With that form line still recent, she remains a minor hope if she can reproduce the effort from two starts back.

Never looked likely when sixth behind Taisei Domani at Mizusawa six days ago, beaten over 18 lengths at big odds. His previous Nagoya run was similar, finishing second last behind Gavarnie and beaten over 19 lengths. With no placing from 12 career starts and no 1200m result to lean on, he is difficult to make a case for.

Returns from a five-week freshening after an eighth behind My Complete in a Chukyo 3yo Maiden, where he was never a winning hope but kept working. Two back he picked up nicely for sixth behind Finger Lakes, beaten just over six lengths. The first try at 1200m is the one qualification, but the class drop and recent profile make this a suitable opening to break through.

Second-up after finishing 12th behind Meisho Tenjin at Sapporo, beaten just over nine lengths after settling miles back and failing to make ground. Her Hakodate run before that was also well held, but both came in 3yo Maiden grade and she now finds easier company. The 1200m record is winless, yet this level gives her a stronger winning platform.
