Morioka Race 5 - Race 5 - 1400
BLUE CREST (12) earns top billing after breaking through by three lengths at Mizusawa, where he picked up strongly and beat Main Theme with authority. The earlier Chukyo Dirt Mdn run was plain, but his latest effort was a clear step in the right direction and he keeps the winning rider. KAMINO TEIO (4) has a stronger case than his latest seventh suggests, having scored well at Mizusawa two back when beating Rara Moutiers by a length, and the rider has already produced good results on him. RYUGO PURE (10) is second-up after a narrow Mizusawa win, with Eito Sakai staying aboard after that successful pairing. NASIRIYAH (2) was third behind Taisei Gigas last time after winning as favourite at Mizusawa, and his around-1400m record gives him enough substance to be a genuine danger.

Produced a fair third at Mizusawa last start, beaten five and a half lengths by Meiner Evince after travelling nicely enough before being comfortably held late. The start prior she led and finished fifth, beaten six and a half lengths, when near the top of an open market. Her excellent track-and-trip record keeps her in the mix, but recent efforts read more like place form than a winning profile.

Was solid rather than dominant when third at Mizusawa last start, beaten four and a half lengths by Taisei Gigas after settling rearward in a race where he was respected in betting. Before that he was sent out favourite and held on by a head from Texas Barows. He has already beaten Kamino Teio recently and brings enough 1400m substance to remain a genuine place chance.

Closed off for fourth at this track last start, beaten just over three lengths by La La Clochette after being near the top of an open market. The run prior at Mizusawa was much more costly on the clock, with Gold Jumper beating her by over 13 lengths. She has placed at this track and distance, but her past 12 months show more minor-money reliability than winning thrust.

Has a strong winning reference from two starts back at Mizusawa, where he lengthened well to beat Rara Moutiers by a length and was near the top of betting. Last start was a plain seventh behind Taisei Gigas, beaten over 11 lengths after being unwanted in the market and making no headway. With Shinobu Murakami back in the saddle, his best recent form gives him a serious winning case.

Has been safely held at his last two Mizusawa runs, most recently finishing sixth behind Evidentia when beaten over 16 lengths and unwanted in the market. The start prior was no better, with Taisei Adamas beating him by over 13 lengths at big odds. He has been unplaced in all seven starts at this track and distance, so a sharp form lift is required.

Backs up quickly after finishing last at this track, well beaten by 24 lengths behind Fukuno Antares at long odds. His previous Mizusawa run was also plain, finishing eighth and beaten over 14 lengths when unwanted in the market. He has placed five times from 15 starts at this track and distance, but current form leaves him with a lot to turn around.

Finished ninth at this track last start, beaten nine and a half lengths by Herr Witz after being sent out at big odds and making no impression. Two back he was last at Mizusawa and well beaten behind Gold Jumper, again at long odds. With no wins from 48 starts overall and only one placing from 22 starts at this venue, others have clearer claims.

Put a poor run behind him with a dominant Mizusawa win last start, beating Light Blue Sky by five lengths after travelling close enough and letting down quickly. That followed a fifth behind Taisei Gigas when he was beaten over 12 lengths but did keep working late. He has a win from three starts around 1400m and can hold a place chance if that latest improvement is repeated.

Ran third at Mizusawa last start, but the margin was heavy, with Yakujo beating her by over 12 lengths despite her running on into the money. Her previous fourth behind Satono Trinity was more competitive, beaten just under three lengths at long odds. Still winless from 11 starts, she has enough place hints to run honestly but must find a sharper winning edge.

Resumed with a narrow but genuine Mizusawa win, beating Filet Le Reve by a neck after letting down nicely and arriving in time. He was near the top of betting there, and the successful Eito Sakai combination is retained. With one win from four starts overall and a recent first-up success to build from, he profiles as one of the stronger chances again second-up.

Was beaten eight and a half lengths when sixth at this track last start, with the market giving little support and Herr Witz proving too strong. The run prior was weaker again, finishing fifth at Mizusawa but well beaten by 25 lengths behind Yakujo. She has won around 1400m, yet her four unplaced track-and-distance attempts make this a difficult assignment.

Broke through stylishly at Mizusawa last start, beating Main Theme by three lengths after picking up strongly in the run home for a very easy win. The Chukyo Dirt Mdn effort before that was plain, but he was big odds there and the return to this grade restored his confidence. With Toshiya Yamamoto retaining the ride and further improvement likely fourth-up, he is the horse they have to beat.
