Morioka Race 9 - Race 9 - 1400

COMBAT TAURUS (12) brings the most convincing winning form, having put together two Mizusawa victories by two lengths and four lengths. He was odds-on last time and has a strong 1400m profile, with seven wins from 20 starts at the distance, so he looks well placed to keep progressing. GOD VALLEY (7) is the main danger after going under by only a neck to Taisei Adamas at Mizusawa, and his previous win at this track keeps him firmly in the argument. DIBARYON (5) is also in winning form, scoring by just under two lengths as a very short odds-on chance and retaining Toshiya Yamamoto, while ASTEROPE (8) has strung together two close seconds and has enough 1400m form to press for a major share if she brings the same consistency.

Comments

Worked home evenly for third in a 3yo+ C2 at Mizusawa last start, beaten just under two lengths by Taisei Adamas after being near the top of betting. The start prior he conceded a big start as a well-supported favourite and could only finish fifth, beaten just over eight lengths. He has placed at 1400m without winning at the trip, so the profile reads more like a genuine place chance than a clear winning case.

Second-up after finishing last in a 3yo B1 at Mizusawa, where she faded late and was unwanted in the market. Her previous run at this track was also plain, finishing seventh and beaten over 16 lengths after racing prominently. A track-and-distance win sits on the record, but recent form has fallen a long way short of what is required in this company.

Was safely held at Mizusawa last start, finishing sixth in a 3yo+ C2 and beaten over 12 lengths after tracking the speed. That came after a strong four-length win over Gold Cross at the same venue, so there is a better run close by. His record at this track and distance is sound from a small sample, and a return to the previous-start form would put him back in the place mix.

Has run second at his past two Mizusawa starts, most recently beaten two lengths by Gold Cross as a prohibitive odds-on favourite. The run prior was stronger, when beaten half a length by Lucky Story at big odds after picking up well. He is holding form and has won at this track, but the latest defeat at short odds makes him a place hope rather than one to take on trust as a winner.

Put the writing on the wall with a close third to Chateau Bobby, then confirmed that progress by beating Mikinokarakuribako by just under two lengths at Mizusawa. He was heavily supported into very short odds-on territory and did the job from a rearward settling position. With Toshiya Yamamoto staying aboard and a previous 1400m win on the record, he has the right form pattern to be a strong winning chance.

Closed off nicely over 850m at Mizusawa last start, finishing fourth and beaten two and a half lengths at generous odds. She had produced a similar late effort the run prior when fifth at long odds. The return to a proven track-and-distance setup is some help, but she has gone winless across the past 12 months and must turn honest finishes into something sharper.

Went very close at Mizusawa last start, tracking the leader and fighting hard when beaten a neck by Taisei Adamas. His previous run at this track over 1600m was below market expectation, but the return to 1400m produced a much better response. He has won at this venue and has a good record with Shinobu Murakami, giving him a strong platform to go one better.

Has been knocking on the door with consecutive seconds at Mizusawa, most recently beaten half a length by Cosmos Mitchi after being pipped late. The start prior she let down nicely and was beaten just over a length by Sirius. Her 1400m record includes a win and further placings, although five unplaced runs at this track keep the assessment measured. She still profiles as a solid place chance.

Finished fifth in a 3yo B1 at Mizusawa last start, beaten nine and a half lengths after having the drop on the leaders and failing to finish it off. The run prior was similar, fourth in a 3yo B2 but beaten over 10 lengths. A class drop is some assistance, yet the recent margins are too wide to ignore and he has to find a much stronger closing effort.

Worked home fairly but never threatened when sixth at Mizusawa last start, beaten just under six lengths by Pensee. His previous fourth behind Wanaka had more merit, making up good ground and finishing just over three lengths away. The 1400m record is respectable for a seasoned runner, but current form still leaves him looking a minor hope at best.

Finished third in a 3yo B2 at Mizusawa last start, beaten five and a half lengths by Schnee Dream despite being strong late. He had earlier run second to Taisei Gosh, beaten two and a half lengths at bigger odds. His record at 1400m and this track gives him a foundation, but he has to turn steady placings into a sharper performance against these.

Comes in off consecutive Mizusawa wins and has built the strongest recent profile in the race. He beat Happy Dance by two lengths as an odds-on favourite last start, after clearing out to score by four lengths from Mozu Gold Medal the run prior. His distance record is a major asset, with seven wins from 20 starts at 1400m, and Rei Iwamoto has already won twice on him. He is the one to beat.
