Morioka Race 5 - Race 5 - 1000
STARLIGHT TAIL (6) Below par when 7th last start at Mizusawa. Shows good finishing speed. Looks promising in this race. KITANO FLORA (8) Finished 5th last start at Mizusawa. Has the potential to improve sharply. Expecting to settle positively. Worth a ticket. TAIKONEN (10) Underwhelming when 7th last run at Mizusawa. Has the ability to take this out. NEKONI KOTATSU (2) Well beaten when 8th last start at Mizusawa but can find a nice position from the draw. Has plenty of early speed. Down in trip. Could sneak a place.

Finished last at Mizusawa over 850m last start, beaten eight and a half lengths after sitting close enough at the turn, and the market gave little encouragement. The previous sixth at this track was better without being threatening. Her this track-and-distance record is a genuine positive, but the current form has to turn sharply to make her a serious player.

Ran well below expectations at Mizusawa last start, weakening from a narrow lead to finish eighth behind Pensee, beaten over 10 lengths after being near the top of an open market. That followed a much better second to Wanaka, beaten a neck, so there is a run in her. Her record at this track and distance is the concern, leaving her more an each-way hope than a win anchor.

Gets important weight relief and carries just 50kg, which gives her the platform to improve on two moderate Mizusawa 850m runs. She was sixth behind Chihayaburu Run last start after fading late, and her previous C2 eighth lacked finish, so the recent form is not flattering. Even so, her broader rating profile reads well for this field and the lighter impost can bring her right into the winning mix.

Was safely held at Mizusawa last start, finishing second last and beaten over 11 lengths after settling rearward and never getting into the race. The run prior had more merit when she picked up late in C2 grade, and she has won twice at this track and distance. That record keeps her on the radar, but recent form says she must lift markedly.

Made late ground from back in the field when fifth behind Chihayaburu Run at Mizusawa, a better effort than the nine-length margin suggests in the context of this race. She had been unable to make ground the start prior, but has won twice in the past 12 months and has placed at this track and distance. With a recent edge over Kitano Lucir, she stays firmly in the winning discussion.

Disappointed as a market chance at Mizusawa last start, settling back and finishing seventh behind Chihayaburu Run, beaten ten lengths with no obvious excuse. His previous third behind Wanaka was much sounder, beaten just under three lengths, and the overall place record is respectable. A return to that prior run gives him minor claims, but he is hard to trust as a winning option.

Resumed at Mizusawa with a last placing, beaten over 13 lengths after settling well back and never looking likely. Her earlier C2 run at Kawasaki was also a distant last, and she is now unplaced in all eight starts this season. The overall career record is much better than that, but on current evidence she has a substantial form turnaround to produce.

Was close enough to threaten at Mizusawa last start before finishing fifth behind Eikai Sophia, beaten just under two lengths, and that was a clear improvement on her previous C2 sixth. Her record at this track and distance is a strong asset, with two wins and two placings from seven attempts, and she has a recent edge over Kobai. She shapes as a genuine place hope with a winning chance if sharper late.

Produced a much better run at Mizusawa last start, finishing fourth behind Eikai Sophia and beaten a length and a half despite being at big odds. That came after a well-beaten ninth behind Hecto Princess, so she still has to prove the improvement is repeatable. Her record with Toshiki Yamamoto is a plus, and another finish like the latest puts her in the minor-money frame.

Closed off from the second half of the field when seventh behind Eikai Sophia last start, beaten two and a half lengths as favourite, so the market expectation was not met but the margin was still competitive. Two back she led and was overrun late when fourth to Lord Twilight. A past win at this track helps, though her recent winning profile is limited, making her a place chance rather than a standout.

Worked home well enough for fourth behind Chihayaburu Run at Mizusawa last start, despite being unwanted in the market, and that followed a C2 eighth where she kept on from the rear. The win strike is light, but she has placed five times from 13 starts at this track and distance and recently had Diffuse and Kitano Lucir covered. That gives her solid credentials in this line-up.
