Morioka Race 7 - Race 7 - 1700
MOZU MAVERICK (1) has the strongest recent profile, with a half-length second to Howzit at this track following a narrow third behind Shimbo. He has already won around this distance, handles this venue and keeps Ryo Takamatsu, so the beaten-favourite tag last start is outweighed by consistent form. MAY TESORO (4) is the logical danger after closing to within just under a length in the same Howzit race, though he still has to turn the tables on MOZU MAVERICK and has placed rather than won in recent starts. OLOPATADINE (6) brings a reliable line from stronger recent races, placed in 3yo+ A2 at Mizusawa and second in 3yo+ B2 at this track, with Toshiya Yamamoto a positive booking. NAMURA TROM (2) is harder to trust after two heavy Nagoya defeats, but the class drop gives him some minor hope if he can revive sharply.

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing second at this track, beaten half a length by Howzit when leading and only being run down late as a short odds-on favourite. He had been third at this venue the start prior, beaten a long neck by Shimbo, and his record at this track reads one win and two places from three starts. The odds-on defeat is the query, but his 1700m record and Ryo Takamatsu staying aboard give him the strongest winning case.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing last at Nagoya in a 3yo+ A4 over 1500m, well beaten by 25 lengths at big odds behind Sabu Ryu Shin. His previous run was also a heavy last in 3yo+ A5 company behind Bol, so the recent evidence is plainly poor. The class drop is the main positive, but he is untried around 1700m and has been unplaced in seven starts in the past 12 months, leaving him as a place hope only if sharply revived.

Finished seventh at Mizusawa last start in 3yo+ C2 company, beaten over 16 lengths after coming under pressure late, and that followed a distant third when well-supported favourite at the same venue. She has won around this distance before, yet her record at this track and on turf is poor. The class drop and Makoto Otsubo returning are positives, but the latest two efforts leave her with plenty to find.

Returns from a five-week let-up after a solid third at this track, beaten just under a length by Howzit when pipped late. He was only fair through the line when eighth to Shimbo the start prior, but that margin was just over three lengths and he has placed three times from four runs at this venue. Mozu Maverick has the recent edge over him and the 1700m record is placings rather than wins, yet his consistency keeps him right in the winning mix.

Returns from a three-month break after ending last campaign with a two-and-a-half-length win at this track, beating Moon Warrior after taking over and extending strongly at long odds. Before that she was well held at Nagoya behind Curren Show, so the profile has some contrast. She is already a track-and-trip winner with two wins around 1700m, and Shinobu Murakami is a strong booking, but first-up she profiles more as a genuine place hope.

Placed in 3yo+ A2 grade at Mizusawa last start, beaten just over three lengths by Prince Minoru after being run down late, and that followed a second at this track in 3yo+ B2 company behind For Elise. He has a solid 1700m base with two wins and five placings around the trip, while Toshiya Yamamoto has a strong record on him. With recent form from better grades, he has a clear winning platform.

Was never a factor at Mizusawa last start, finishing ninth in 3yo B1 grade and beaten over 17 lengths after giving away a big start. Two back he worked home evenly for sixth on Morioka Dirt, beaten just over seven lengths at big odds. The class drop offers some help and he has placed around this distance, but the latest run makes him hard to promote beyond minor-money calculations.

Finished last at Mizusawa last start, well held behind Online Boss after giving away a big start and never coming into the race. He had also been beaten over 12 lengths at this track behind Howzit, with Mozu Maverick and May Tesoro well ahead of him there. His long-term 1700m record is respectable and Hidetoshi Abe has won on him, but his current form is a clear concern.

Third-up now after finishing last in 3yo+ A2 company at Mizusawa, where he was well beaten by Prince Minoru after fading late at big odds. His return run on Morioka Dirt was also plain, beaten over 10 lengths by Kurinatchi. The class drop gives him a softer assignment and he has placed often on good tracks, but he remains winless from 17 starts and has no placing from five tries around 1700m.

Was sixth at Mizusawa last start in 3yo B2 grade, beaten just over nine lengths by Kitano Ayaka after being unwanted in the market and only fair through the line. Her fourth at this track two back was better, though still beaten six and a half lengths after failing to go on with it. Weight relief is a plus, but two unplaced tries around 1700m and a poor turf record make this a difficult task.
