Morioka Race 6 - Race 6 - 1700
CELESTIAL HOPE (8) Came in 5th last start at the track. Should improve. Toshiya Yamamoto is a bonus. Looks promising in this race. DEAN'S LISTER (7) Finished 7th last time at Niigata. Happy to forgive that run but down in distance. Change in trainer. Goes close. CURREN LECIEL BLEU (5) On a quick turnaround. Won narrowly last time at Mizusawa. Displays very good closing speed. Respect against this field. GOTTLIEB (6) Came in 7th last run at Mizusawa. Could run into the money.

Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing last in a 3yo+ B1 at this track, where she faded late and was finished well held at long odds. The start prior was also poor, beaten over 19 lengths after settling just off the lead. She has placed three times around 1700m and gets a class drop, but her recent form leaves a sizeable task.

Has placed at both recent Mizusawa runs, most recently third over 1900m when beaten just over four lengths, though she lacked the turn of foot to seriously challenge. The earlier third was more of a battling effort and she again started at a price. Proven around this distance, but her turf record is a clear concern and others bring sharper winning claims.

Returns from a two-month freshening as a proven track-and-trip winner, and the class drop from a 3yo+ B1 gives her a strong platform. She was fifth to Precious Asset at this venue last start after not finishing off, but still beat several home, and her rider has a solid record on her. With the winning rider back and suitable conditions, she looks the runner to beat.

Returns from a six-week freshening after giving away a big start at this track and finishing eighth, beaten six and a half lengths, behind El Professor. Her previous fifth behind For Elise was sounder, despite being unwanted in the market. She has not placed in five tries around 1700m, but the class drop and rider booking keep her in the place mix.

Scored first-up at Mizusawa over 1400m, beating M T Lilas by a head after finishing strongly and being near the top of betting. That was a sharp turnaround from his last run before the break, and he has the turf record to support another positive showing. The one-week back-up is the small query, but his track and distance credentials keep him right in the race.

Finished seventh at Mizusawa last start, beaten just over six lengths after settling rearward, so there was no obvious excuse. His previous fourth in a 3yo+ C1 on Morioka Dirt was similar, tracking the speed before failing to finish it off. The rider has won on him before and his ratings keep him in the place discussion, but he must find a stronger finish.

Returns from a five-week freshening after a first-up seventh in a 3yo+ ALLOW at Niigata, beaten over 11 lengths by Play The Lead after settling rearward. His earlier Niigata eighth was much closer, beaten four and a half lengths behind Bene Spira. The class drop, weight relief and leading rider engagement give him the tools to improve sharply.

Returns from a five-week freshening after disappointing as favourite at Morioka Dirt, finishing fifth and beaten just over nine lengths behind Meiner Recuerdo. She had also been well found in betting two back but was beaten over 16 lengths. Her overall record and rider combination are positives, yet she has to restore market confidence to land a placing.

Was beaten a long way at Mizusawa last start over 1900m, weakening from the rear in a run that is hard to excuse. The start prior was better when second to Fierte over 850m, albeit beaten six lengths at long odds. Her record at this track is strong and she is proven around 1700m, so a rebound is possible, but the latest run makes her risky.

Ran third at Mizusawa last start, beaten just over six lengths behind Z Thunder after settling rearward, but she was a long-odds chance and still had a margin to close. The prior fourth in a 3yo+ C1 was fair enough, with a nice late pick-up. Her season record is respectable, but she will have to raise that level to trouble the main chances.
