Morioka Race 4 - Race 4 - 1200
CHRONO REGALIS (4) has the right profile to take control of a modest maiden, with her recent Mizusawa form reading better than most of these despite finishing fourth last start. She had been a well-supported favourite two runs back when beaten just over five lengths, has placed at this track, and brings the strongest recent ratings at the distance. SCARLET GENE (8) is the main danger third-up, with a last-start placing at Mizusawa and a class-drop profile, although being beaten out of sight as favourite means she must be treated with some caution. HO O SKY HIGH (10) has been improving through the campaign and comes back from 3yo COND grade, with the first attempt around 1200m the obvious question. SAMURAI TIME (3) has the light weight and was fourth at this venue a week ago, but her long maiden record keeps her more in the place mix than as a winning threat.

Finished sixth at Mizusawa last start, beaten over 15 lengths by Texas Barows at long odds, so there was no obvious hidden merit in the result. She had been closer in the market the run prior but still finished seventh behind Luath Gloir after never looking likely. A class drop and light weight help the setup, yet her overall form leaves her with plenty to find.

Resumed with a third at Mizusawa, but the margin tells the story as he was tailed off behind Panorama Stage despite closing through the line. His previous run in a 3yo Maiden at Niigata Dirt was also poor, finishing last at big odds behind Top Duo. Second-up fitness and a class drop are positives, but a 14-start maiden record makes him hard to trust as a winning hope.

Backs up after finishing fourth at this track a week ago, where she loomed before failing to go on and was beaten over 12 lengths by Miss Melissa. That was still a better showing than her ninth at Mizusawa six days earlier, when well beaten by 23 lengths at big odds. The 50kg helps, but 20 starts without a placing keeps the win case limited.

Worked home evenly for fourth at Mizusawa last start behind Taisei Domani, and although the margin was over 12 lengths, this is a race where her overall profile still reads strongly. She was well-supported favourite when sixth two back, beaten just over five lengths, and has placed both at this track and around the distance. With the class drop and key ratings in her favour, she is the one they have to beat.

Dropped out to finish second last at Mizusawa most recently, beaten 23 lengths after sitting close enough and offering little when it mattered. The run prior was more respectable when fifth behind Kamino Teio, though she still faded late and was beaten just over eight lengths. Fourth-up with a class drop gives her some chance to rebound, but she profiles more as a place hope than a win bet.

Finished last at this track a week ago, beaten eight and a half lengths by Nishino Tomaranai after having her chance and producing a plain final effort. That followed a ninth at Mizusawa where she settled rearward and was finished well held at long odds. The class drop is noted, but her 17-start unplaced career record points to others holding stronger claims.

Was never in the race at this track last week, conceding a big start before finishing seventh behind Nishino Tomaranai at big odds. His previous fifth at Mizusawa was also safely held, beaten over 12 lengths after giving himself too much to do. With no placing from nine attempts at this track and distance, he looks up against it again.

Third at Mizusawa last start and now reaches the third run of the campaign, which gives her a better platform than many of these. The concern is that she was favourite yet never competitive and was beaten out of sight behind Ryugo Pure. Her 3yo Maiden run at Niigata over 2000m two back can be set aside in this easier setup, and she still rates as one of the main chances.

Resumed with a seventh at Mizusawa, finishing well held behind Taisei Domani at long odds after conceding a big start. She had shown little more before the break, finishing ninth behind Noble Geyser when unable to make headway. Beaten by Chrono Regalis recently and still unplaced from eight starts, she will have to improve sharply.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing fifth in a 3yo COND at Kasamatsu, where he was beaten over 14 lengths by Kuriko Falcon and was unwanted in the market. His previous 3yo Maiden run at Chukyo was also safely held, but he is lightly raced, fourth-up and comes through a class-drop setup. The first try around 1200m is the query, though this looks a suitable race for improvement.

Produced a better effort at this track last week, finishing sixth behind Nishino Tomaranai and beaten just under four lengths after keeping on without ever looking the winner. He had been well held at Mizusawa six days earlier, so consistency remains a concern. His record is still winless and unplaced from 15 starts, but last week's run gives him minor-place claims.
