Morioka Race 12 - Race 12 - 1600

LUXOR CAFE (5) sets the standard after charging home to win the G3 Elm Stakes at Sapporo Dirt, beating PERRIERE by a length and a half, and his record around 1600m gives him a strong platform to resume as the one to beat. WILSON TESORO (2) is the main threat, with two wins from two starts at this track, an excellent 1600m profile and Yuga Kawada back aboard after a narrow Funabashi win and a solid Urawa second. LEBENSSTIL (11) brings genuine G1 form lines, having finished within three and a half lengths of Sixpence in the Yasuda Kinen and also finishing ahead of LUXOR CAFE at Tokyo, although his 1600m record leaves a query. MEISHO HACHIRO (1) was narrowly beaten in the G3 Tokai Tv Hai Tokai Stakes before spelling and had won at Tokyo Dirt the run prior, so his consistency keeps him in the each-way mix.

Returns from a three-month break after closing last campaign with a sound second in the G3 Tokai Tv Hai Tokai Stakes at Chukyo Dirt, beaten just under a length after giving a sight and being run down late. He had won an ALLOW at Tokyo Dirt the run prior, beating Sum Shine as a well-supported favourite, and has one win from two attempts around 1600m. First look at this venue, but the recent profile reads well for a placing chance.

Returns from a four-month break with a compelling track-and-trip profile, having won both starts at this track and built a strong 1600m record. He was last seen running second at Urawa as an odds-on favourite, beaten a length and a half by Lord Fons, after coming from well back to beat Mikki Fight at Funabashi. With Yuga Kawada back aboard and deep career consistency behind him, he rates as a major winning chance.

Resumes after five months away having finished sixth at Tokyo Dirt in Open grade, beaten just over six lengths after settling a long way back and staying on only fairly. His previous run was a narrow Open win at Hanshin Dirt over 1400m, so there is ability, but he was unplaced at his only 1600m attempt. A return to his winning level would be required against this deeper line-up.

Chased home Hiroshikun at Mizusawa last start, finishing second but beaten six lengths and never really threatening the winner. The run prior at this track was plain, with a ninth placing and a margin of over 17 lengths at big odds. His 1600m record includes a win and four placings from nine tries, and Yuri Takahashi has a long association, so he shapes as a place hope rather than a strong winning play.

Resumes after a three-month break off the strongest last-start win in the field, having taken the G3 Elm Stakes at Sapporo Dirt by a length and a half from Perriere. That followed an 11th in the G1 Yasuda Kinen when he was big odds and never a factor, but the return to dirt brought his best back. With four wins and a placing from seven starts around 1600m, he has the right profile to take beating.

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing fourth at Saga, beaten five and a half lengths when he loomed up but could not go on with it. The run prior was far better, winning an Open at Fukushima Dirt by a length and a half from Mikki Nuchibana at generous odds. He has won once from two starts around 1600m and is fit enough now to give himself a realistic place chance.

Beaten over 11 lengths by Hiroshikun at Mizusawa last start after starting long odds and working home fairly without threatening. He was much better the run prior when winning an A2 at this track by four lengths in a small field, and his record at this track and distance is respectable. Even so, at 10 and coming off a heavy defeat, he has to find more to trouble the main chances.

Returns from a three-month break after finishing second to Luxor Cafe in the G3 Elm Stakes at Sapporo Dirt, beaten a length and a half after closing nicely. He had earlier run fourth in a Listed race at Tokyo Dirt, beaten three lengths by Don In The Mood. Those are credible black-type efforts, and his 1600m record is useful, but he has to turn the tables on the race favourite to become a winning threat.

Dropped out badly at Mizusawa last start, finishing last and beaten over 15 lengths despite being near the top of betting. His previous run was also well below the mark, sixth and beaten over 13 lengths behind Hiroshikun. He has won twice from three starts at this track and distance, but recent efforts leave a clear rebuilding job against stronger opposition.

Dominated at Mizusawa last start, beating Sakura Top Kid by six lengths as a very short odds-on favourite and maintaining a clear margin throughout. He had been second at Mombetsu the run prior, also beaten six lengths, but has not missed a place in six starts this season and owns an outstanding 1600m record. This is deeper, yet his current form makes him a legitimate each-way player.

Resumes after five months off with high-grade turf form in the book, most recently seventh in the G1 Yasuda Kinen at Tokyo when beaten three and a half lengths by Sixpence. He was also sixth in the G1 Osaka Hai two back, beaten just over three lengths by Croix Du Nord. The 1600m record is the query, but he beat Luxor Cafe at Tokyo and Keita Tosaki staying aboard keeps the winning case very alive.
