Morioka Race 1 - Race 1 - 1400
SUPER HIGHWAY (9) Honest race when 2nd last time at Mizusawa. Showing great form since returning from a break. Has the speed to overcome the wide alley. Strong hope. IRIS ASTER (1) Ran 4th last time at Mizusawa. Should improve here and has minimal work to do from the draw. Producing consistent results since coming back from a break. Right in this. RAS DASHEN (5) Finished 2nd last start at Mizusawa. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Reika Sekimoto does know the horse very well. Respect. DORITARU (3) Unsatisfactory performance when 7th last time here. Might have to make up considerable ground. Struggling this campaign. Worth keeping safe.

Won at this track two runs back, leading and beating Super Highway by just under two lengths when near the top of betting. She was then fourth at Mizusawa, beaten four and a half lengths after settling rearward, which reads as a solid run rather than a backward step. Her record at this venue is strong and Toshiki Yamamoto has already won on her, so she gets a clear platform to justify top billing.

Finished ninth at this track last week, beaten over 15 lengths after settling back and making no impression, with the market showing little interest. The start prior at Mombetsu was also plain when tenth in C3C4 grade. He has won twice around 1400m, but six unplaced runs at this venue and current form leave him with plenty to turn around.

Returns from a two-month break after finishing last in a COND over 1600m at this track, where he settled rearward and was well held. His previous run, also in COND company, was a distant fifth behind Shonan Nazca. The class drop and return to a distance where he has won are positives, but being unplaced in ten starts across the past 12 months is difficult to overlook.

Backs up quickly after finishing sixth at this track, beaten over 11 lengths and unwanted in the market. She had worked home well when fifth at Mizusawa the run prior, albeit also beaten over 11 lengths, so there is at least some late effort in her profile. Three placings from 14 starts at this track and distance point more to place claims than a strong winning case.

Put in a better effort at Mizusawa last start when second, beaten five lengths, after travelling close enough but lacking the sharp finish to worry Meiner Evince. That followed a heavy defeat a week earlier, so the latest run is the right reference point. She is a proven track-and-distance winner and has a solid record with Reika Sekimoto, giving her a genuine winning chance in this field.

Was sixth at Mizusawa last start, beaten over 14 lengths after being unable to make ground, and he had also been safely held when eighth there two weeks earlier. The 62-start maiden record makes him hard to promote as a winning hope, but three placings from five starts at this venue show he can run into a minor cheque if others underperform.

Finished second last at Mizusawa three weeks ago, beaten over 16 lengths after settling rearward, and the market gave him little support. The run prior was no better, with a seventh beaten over 20 lengths at the same venue. He has just two placings from 21 starts and finished behind Iris Aster last time, so a sizeable lift is required.

Showed more at this track last week when fourth over 1200m, beaten just over four lengths at long odds, which was a clear step forward in result terms. The concern is that it followed a tenth at Mizusawa where she never looked likely. She has three placings from 13 starts and a fair record with Hidetoshi Abe, but she still has to prove she can sustain that improvement.

Has been consistent without winning, finishing second at Mizusawa last start after being sent out favourite and beaten six lengths by Hapina Star. He was also placed there the run prior as an odds-on favourite, working home evenly for third. Two placings from three tries around this distance and a perfect place record with Tatsunori Sugawara keep him right among the main chances.

Finished sixth at Mizusawa last start, beaten over 10 lengths at long odds, after coming under pressure late. Two back he was fifth, beaten over 17 lengths, though he did pick up nicely in the straight. The maiden record tempers enthusiasm, but two placings from five starts at this track give him enough background to be considered for minor money.
