Morioka Race 9 - Race 9 - 1400
PALPITATION (9) Below standard effort when 10th last time at Mizusawa. Been in the money multiple times this preparation. Will be competitive. GROSSER BAR (6) Was ordinary when 11th last time at Mizusawa. Shinobu Murakami is a plus. Up to these. SHINY MAIN (8) Moderate showing when 9th last run at Mizusawa. Must respect. LIVE KETCHUP (1) Mediocre display when 12th last start at Mizusawa but will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Should jump out and bowl along. Should be around the mark.

Has been last at both recent runs at Mizusawa, most recently beaten a long way by Sun Calypso after settling rearward and weakening further in the run home. The earlier effort was no better when well beaten by Kurinatchi after fading late. Her track-and-distance record reads well and Ryo Kobayashi has won on her, but current form leaves her with plenty to turn around.

Comes off a worrying last-start miss at Mizusawa, leading before being claimed and dropping out to finish last, well beaten by 23 lengths after being near the top of betting. The start prior was far more encouraging, a fourth in 3yo+ B1 at this venue over 1200m at long odds. Back to 1400m, where she has two wins and six placings, she is capable of sharp improvement.

Made some late ground from a long way back when eighth at Mizusawa, beaten six and a half lengths by Sun Calypso, so the finish had more merit than the position suggests. The run prior at this track was plain when second last in 3yo+ C2 grade. A win and a placing from four starts at this track and distance keep him in the place mix if he settles closer.

Was last at Mizusawa three weeks ago, beaten over 15 lengths by Spiritual after settling well back and making no impression. His previous fourth at this venue was much better, beaten just under a length at big odds in 3yo+ C2 grade. That peak would make him competitive for a minor spot, but the latest run was too plain to ignore.

Worked home for fifth in 3yo+ B1 at Mizusawa last start, beaten just over four lengths by Sol De Verano after settling rearward. That was a cleaner effort than his eighth at this venue the start prior, when he made no late impression at long odds. The class drop and return of a rider who has placed on him often both help, and this looks a winnable assignment.

Finished well held at Mizusawa last start, giving nothing in the straight after being unwanted in the market. Two back he settled prominently but faded to be beaten over 14 lengths by Kurinatchi. His older form at this track and distance is strong and Shinobu Murakami knows him well, yet the past two performances make him hard to support with confidence.

Has been safely held in two Mizusawa runs, most recently second last and beaten over 19 lengths by Z Thunder after never getting into the race. She also offered little late over 1600m the start prior. The counter is her strong record at this track and the booking of Toshiya Yamamoto, so a return to her better venue form would put her into the minor money picture.

Recent form is hard to recommend, with a ninth at Mizusawa last start when beaten over 12 lengths by Sun Calypso after settling rearward and making no impression. She was also well beaten over 1600m the run prior at long odds. Her broader career record has substance, but this campaign has levelled out and others bring stronger recent figures.

Had been holding form well before a poor tenth at Mizusawa last start, beaten over 16 lengths by Sun Calypso after getting too far back and failing to improve. The start prior was the run to mark, a second at this venue in 3yo+ C2 grade when beaten a length and a half and well found in betting. With Toshiki Yamamoto back aboard, she can recover into the placings.

Closed off with purpose when fourth at Mizusawa last start, beaten four and a half lengths by Sun Calypso after having many lengths to make up. The previous run was plain, but her record at this track and distance is the standout profile in the race with two wins and five placings from nine attempts. Carrying 50kg again and reunited with a winning rider, she sets the standard.
