Morioka Race 4 - Race 4 - 1400
HERR WITZ (4) On a short turnaround. Was strong to the line when winning by 3L last run at the track. Suitably placed in this race. LA LA CLOCHETTE (11) On a short back up. Got the prize when winning by 1 1/4L last start at this venue. Finishes off strongly. Capable of forward showing and can be competitive. NOBLE GEYSER (6) Average at best when 11th last start at Mizusawa. Will be positive in the run early. Toshiya Yamamoto is a crucial engagement. Worth a ticket. LOGI MAMBO (9) Came in 5th last run at Mizusawa. Yuuri Takahashi and Sugawara Manabu must be respected when they team up. Will be motoring home late. Underrated.

Was second last at this track a week ago, beaten seven and a half lengths by Bellagio Hope after conceding too much ground and never getting into the race. That was a disappointing effort given she was near the top of an open market. Her previous seventh in a Niigata Mdn over 2200m was sounder, but she remains a maiden with only one placing from six starts and looks an outside chance only.

Ran on into third at this track last week, beaten just over two lengths by Bellagio Hope despite being unwanted in the market. He had Star Plane behind him there and comes back quickly with the same 52kg impost, while his record around 1400m includes a win and a placing. Two back he led and faded into fourth at Mizusawa, but this looks a stronger platform for a genuine winning bid.

Picked up nicely when fifth at this track last week, beaten just under three lengths by Bellagio Hope after starting unwanted in the market. He had been second at Mizusawa the run prior, albeit beaten ten lengths and never threatening the winner. The 1400m record shows three placings from 14 tries rather than a win, but his latest effort puts him firmly among the better chances.

Broke through impressively at this track over 1200m last start, beating Combat Snel by three lengths as a dominant odds-on favourite and clearly having the better of them late. His Niigata Mdn seventh two runs back was also respectable, beaten just under three lengths at huge odds. Backing up quickly is the small reservation, but that last win gives him genuine place appeal.

Made some late ground when sixth at this track last week, beaten just under six lengths by Bellagio Hope, but she was never likely to feature. That followed a C1 fifth at Mizusawa where she was beaten over 11 lengths at generous odds. Her track record is better than the latest form, yet she has to sharpen up considerably to trouble the main hopes.

Was last in a B2 at Mizusawa three weeks ago, well beaten by Kitano Ayaka after weakening badly in the run home at long odds. The start prior was also plain, finishing seventh in a C1 and beaten over 13 lengths. The class drop and strong jockey record are positives, and he has placed often at this track and distance, but recent form leaves him with plenty to find.

Won strongly over this track and distance last week, beating Gille Chaluim by two and a half lengths after kicking clear and putting the race away with authority. That was a sharp turnaround from her Mombetsu C4 failure, but she is now a track-and-trip winner and Hidetoshi Abe stays with her after winning at the first pairing. Proven under these conditions, she sets a clear standard.

Finished ninth at this track last week, beaten six and a half lengths by Bellagio Hope after giving away a big start and never threatening at long odds. Her previous B2 seventh at Mizusawa was also well held, beaten just under ten lengths despite working home fairly. With no placing from nine starts at this track and distance, others bring far stronger claims.

Was disappointing as an odds-on favourite at Mizusawa two weeks ago, finishing fifth and beaten seven and a half lengths by Mikinokarakuribako after only battling. The run prior showed his better side when beaten a head by Bleu Chateau, so a rebound is not impossible. First look at this track adds some uncertainty and he shapes as a minor each-way hope rather than a key winning chance.

Produced a solid fourth at this track last week, beaten two and a half lengths by Bellagio Hope at big odds, and that was enough to finish ahead of Star Plane while still being behind Hishi Taycan. She had also worked home eye-catchingly from well back in a C1 at Mizusawa. The 1400m record is only modest, but her recent consistency makes her a realistic place player.

Let down nicely to win over 1200m at this track last start, scoring from Mikuri by just over a length after being near the top of betting. That restored confidence after a distant last at Mizusawa the start before. She has a sound record at this venue, but steps back to 1400m where her only previous try was unplaced, so she profiles as a place hope with upside.
