Morioka Race 3 - Race 3 - 1200
MAY JOSHUA (7) brings the clearest winning profile after placing at Mizusawa last start, where she led and battled on behind Blue Crest as favourite. Her sixth two back in 3yo+ ALLOW company at Niigata reads well for this grade, and the return of Yuri Takahashi, who has already placed on her, strengthens the case. A SHIN WITH ALL (5) is the main danger if she can build on a first-up fourth at Mizusawa, with the market having kept her safe and her late work suggesting improvement second-up. FRANCES GULLIVER (2) is harder to read after finishing a distant last at this track when prominent in betting, but her earlier Niigata Dirt effort was sound enough and she stays under notice back quickly. ESAN (3) has a long maiden record and a poor distance profile, yet his fourth here last week was a step in the right direction and the light weight gives him a minor-place path.

Made some late ground in a distant fifth behind Blue Crest at Mizusawa last start, but he conceded a huge start and was never a winning factor. The start prior at Nagoya was also plain, finishing ninth in 3yo COND grade after being unwanted in the market. The class drop and race fitness help, but he remains an unplaced maiden who has to find far more authority.

Was disappointing when fifth and finished a distant last at this track a week ago, especially after being near the top of betting. Her previous Niigata Dirt run in a 3yo Maiden was more encouraging, working home fairly from well back when beaten six and a half lengths. Back in this grade with race fitness on side, she can rebound strongly if that last run is forgiven.

Improved to fourth at this track last week, though the margin was still over 14 lengths and he started at big odds. The run prior at Mizusawa was much weaker, finishing last after settling a long way back. His 1200m record is a genuine query, with no wins or placings from 18 tries around the trip, but the light weight gives him some place appeal.

Has been well beaten at her past two Mizusawa runs, most recently fifth behind Panorama Stage after settling rearward and never threatening. She was also beaten over 14 lengths two back, so the recent form requires caution. The class drop gives her a softer assignment and she meets A Shin With All again, but she profiles more as a minor-place chance than a likely winner.

Worked home well when fourth at Mizusawa first-up, and the market kept her safe despite the beaten margin being substantial. Her previous race start was an 11th in a 3yo F Maiden at Tokyo Dirt before a spell, so this campaign can still move forward sharply. Rated well at the distance and likely to be fitter second-up, she has enough upside to be a major winning chance.

Finished last at this track a week ago, beaten over 16 lengths behind Miss Melissa, and there was no clear excuse with only a fair finish. His previous start here was similar, again last and unable to make an impression at big odds. The class drop is some help, but 17 starts without a placing and a poor track-distance record make him hard to recommend.

Progressed again when third behind Blue Crest at Mizusawa last start, leading and battling on as favourite when beaten five and a half lengths. Her sixth in 3yo+ ALLOW grade at Niigata two back was also sound, beaten only two and a half lengths after being unwanted in the market. With Yuri Takahashi back aboard and a race-fit profile, she sets the strongest standard in this field.

Has struggled to make an impact lately, finishing second last at this track last week after settling rearward and being beaten over 13 lengths. She was well beaten at Mizusawa the run prior and the 1200m record remains unconvincing. The return of a rider who has placed on her is a small plus, but her best recent evidence points to a place-only hope.

Comes back quickly after finishing fifth at this track last week, beaten over 19 lengths after coming under pressure late. She was also safely held at Mizusawa seven days earlier, despite travelling just off the speed before fading from contention. A class drop and third-up fitness are positives, but her track and distance records leave a significant task.

Produced the eye-catching part of her Mizusawa fourth when coming from a hopeless position to finish off strongly behind Blue Crest. That was her first run of the campaign, so there is scope to be sharper second-up, but May Joshua had her measure in the same race and her overall record is still unplaced from eight starts. Improvement is required to threaten the better chances.

Picked up nicely in the straight when fifth at this track last week, but the margin was still over 12 lengths and she started at long odds. The previous Mizusawa run was weaker, finishing a distant last after getting too far back before making some late ground. A class drop gives her some relief, yet ten starts without a placing keeps the assessment cautious.
