Morioka Race 1 - Race 1 - 1400
GLACE A LA VANILLE (3) Finished 4th last start at Mizusawa. Likely to bounce back. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Worth a ticket. GILLE CHALUIM (11) Resumes from a break. Finished 7th last time at Fukushima. Looking past the last run but back in trip. Toshiya Yamamoto is an advantage. Can win. MALLEOLUS (7) Finished 6th last run at Mizusawa. Should improve from the last run. Underrated. GRACE RULER (8) Ran 3rd last start at Mizusawa. Possesses good finishing speed. Key player.

Has been safely held in two Sonoda runs, finishing last behind Patrol Run in 3yo+ C3 company after fading late and being unwanted in the market. The start prior was no better, beaten over 15 lengths when second last behind Jericoacoara. He has placed once at around 1400m, but the overall maiden record leaves him with a fair amount to find.

Worked home fairly from well back when sixth behind Schnee Dream at Mizusawa, though the margin was still over 12 lengths and the market gave her little chance. Her prior sixth behind Taisei Gosh followed a similar pattern, but she has won at around 1400m and reunites with a rider who has been aboard for that success. This looks a genuine chance to improve into winning contention.

Comes through two market-respected Mizusawa runs, most recently fourth behind Gold Jumper after failing to finish it off. Two back he battled on fairly when sixth behind Heroic Tale, and his broader 1400m record gives this profile more substance than the recent margins alone. The class drop and experienced rider booking make him the runner to beat in this line-up.

Was never a factor when seventh behind Evidentia at Mizusawa last week, beaten over 19 lengths after settling too far away. That followed a second-last placing behind Taisei Adamas when beaten a long way, so recent form is hard to recommend. The quick back-up and returning winning rider help the setup, but a major form turnaround is required.

Dropped out badly when last behind Evidentia at Mizusawa, well beaten by 26 lengths, and had been beaten 28 lengths by Gold Jumper the run before. The lighter weight and quick back-up are small positives, yet she remains a 66-start maiden and was behind Glace A La Vanille recently. Hard to build a case until she shows far more late strength.

Has not been threatening lately, finishing eighth behind Taisei Adamas after settling well back and making no impression. The previous Mizusawa run was also safely held behind Chateau Bobby, but his record at this track and distance is more encouraging, with five placings from 14 attempts. That keeps him in the minor-money mix rather than as a strong win play.

Stayed on honestly without ever looking likely when sixth behind Nike Felice in 3yo B1 company last start, beaten over 12 lengths. He was ninth to the same winner in 3yo B2 grade two back, so the winning spark is missing, but five placings from 10 at this track and distance is useful. He shapes as a realistic place chance with the right run.

Finished off strongly from a difficult position to run third behind Hapina Star at Mizusawa last week, a much better result than her seventh behind Gabby's D'Etoile the start before. She is still a maiden, but two placings from seven starts show some progression and Ryo Takamatsu has already placed on her. The quick back-up is the query, yet she looks a key winning chance.

Made no impact when tenth behind Yakujo at Mizusawa last week, finishing well beaten after settling well back. The run prior behind Satono Trinity was similar, with a huge start conceded and no serious involvement. She has been unplaced in five attempts at this distance, so even with a kinder grade she will have to find a sharper response.

Returns from a five-week freshening after fading out when second last behind Sakura Stream at Mombetsu, having gone forward and then dropped out of contention. Her previous seventh behind Raven Knight was more respectable, making some ground from well back after being near the top of an open market. The profile is mixed, but this is not beyond her for a placing.

Returns from a three-month break after finishing seventh behind Vulcan Tesoro at Fukushima, where he settled rearward and made no late impression. His Tokyo Dirt run before that was better on margin, beaten just over six lengths behind Turf Crystal after racing handy enough. Still unplaced from three starts, but the leading track jockey booking adds interest fresh.

Was never competitive and was beaten out of sight behind Ryugo Pure at Mizusawa last week, despite working home fairly once the race was gone. Her previous sixth behind Taisei Gigas was also a safely held effort, and she remains unplaced from four starts. Fourth-up fitness is a small positive, but the recent margins make her difficult to support.
