Morioka Race 12 - Race 12 - 1600
HAKUSHIN MALPENSA (3) Won by a huge margin of 4L last start at Mizusawa. Unbeaten last 2 attempts. Should jump out and bowl along. Can get the job done. RIKO HAWK (2) First up and finished on top by 2L first up last preparation at Mizusawa. Should come to hand quickly. Has a positive draw. Must respect in this event. LASER SPECKLE (7) Won by 3/4L last start at Mizusawa. Should muster plenty of early toe. Been in the money 5 from 5 attempts this preparation. Worth strong consideration. YAMANIN LIRIO (5) Good win by 3/4L last time at Mizusawa on a heavy rated track. Toshiya Yamamoto is a suitable booking. Consider an each way bet.

Back after four weeks following a narrow Mizusawa win, when sent out favourite and fighting on strongly to beat Tovarisch by a nose. That followed a sound second at this track behind Good Day Silence, beaten a length and a half, so his recent form reads consistently. With 13 wins at around 1600m across a long career, he has the right mile grounding to hold a prominent place chance.

Returns from a three-month break after finishing seventh at this track, beaten six and a half lengths by Itazura Vega when never a winning hope. His earlier third here behind Metal Laver was sound enough, but he was still beaten just over five lengths despite market respect. A career record of four wins and five places from 15 starts helps, yet he must come back sharper to trouble these.

Comes off two dominant Mizusawa wins in 3yo+ B2 grade, most recently leading clearly and beating Marukei Forte by four lengths over 1900m as a short odds-on favourite. She had won by five lengths the run prior, so the current form is strong. She has placed at this track and distance without winning, which keeps her more in the place mix than as the clear top pick.

Has been safely held in two Mizusawa runs this campaign, finishing second last to Shimasan Black last start after being unwanted in the market and beaten just over nine lengths. The run prior was only fifth at long odds, beaten eight and a half lengths by Mishiro Way. His track-and-distance record is a positive, but recent performance leaves him with plenty to turn around.

Finished over the top of them at Mizusawa last start, scoring by just under a length over 1400m after being near the top of betting. The prior 850m run gave her little chance to build momentum, but she made some ground from the rear. Her record at this track is excellent and she has won at the mile, so the profile stacks up strongly for another serious winning bid.

Brings the strongest winning form, having made it three straight when beating Wreath And Ribbon by a head at Mizusawa after sitting near the top of betting. His start prior was a five-length win at this track over 1400m, and that sharp closing strength underlined how well he is racing. With five wins from 13 starts in the past 12 months and Toshiki Yamamoto successful on him before, he is the one they have to beat.

Kept his fine campaign going at Mizusawa last start, leading into the straight and holding Sol De Verano by just under a length in 3yo+ B1B2 company. Two back he was second to Kurinatchi, albeit beaten nine lengths, but his broader profile is hard to knock. Three wins from three starts at this track and an excellent record with Ryoto Tsukamoto make him a strong winning chance again.

Improved first-up when fifth in 3yo+ A2 grade at Mizusawa, beaten five and a half lengths by Sanei Condor after settling rearward. That was a better effort than his Sonoda seventh before a break, where he was beaten over 16 lengths as an outsider. The quick back-up and class drop are helpful, though his 1600m record leaves him looking more a place hope than a winning stand-out.

Ran third to Out The Law at Mizusawa last start, beaten three and a half lengths after being right there and sticking on without quite matching the first two. That was a clear return from a tailed-off effort at this track over 2000m when big odds and never a factor. His place strike rate is respectable, but the single career win from 24 starts makes him hard to promote as a winning hope.

Was well beaten by 21 lengths at Mizusawa last start in 3yo COND grade after settling too far back and never threatening as one of the outsiders. She had also been beaten just under ten lengths the run prior at big odds, so the current form is hard to recommend. A past win at this track and distance is some encouragement, but she will have to lift sharply to feature.
