Morioka Race 8 - Race 8 - 1400
POD JASPER (2) Disappointing run when 8th last time at Mizusawa but can find a nice position from the draw. Should race on the speed. Will give a big sight. BATTLE CREEK (1) Well beaten when 9th last start at Mizusawa but has a nice advantage with a good draw. Does take a while to get into stride. Gets a chance to win. RYUNO MEDINA (6) Placed 3rd last time at Mizusawa. In the mix. ABILE (7) Came in 6th last run at Mizusawa. Expected to be flashing home. Capable of forward showing and can be competitive.

Was disappointing at Mizusawa last start when ninth and beaten over 12 lengths after settling rearward and making no late impression despite being near the top of betting. His previous fifth in a B2 over 850m had more merit, as he charged home from well back at big odds. He has won at this distance before, but the latest run leaves him with plenty to turn around.

Led into the lane at Mizusawa last start but weakened badly, finishing eighth and beaten over 12 lengths after being near the top of betting. That followed a second-last as favourite over 1600m, so the market has given him chances he has not converted. His track-and-trip record is a positive, yet he has to arrest a clear recent slide.

Hit the line well for third at Mizusawa last start, beaten a length by Pensee after starting at generous odds. Two back he was fifth behind Grand Croix, beaten just over three lengths, so the latest run continued a useful pattern. His modest career strike rate is the knock, but a win from two starts at this track keeps him in the minor-money mix.

Closed off with purpose when fifth over 1600m at Mizusawa last start, beaten nine and a half lengths after giving away a big start. Her previous second in C2 at this track was stronger, beaten a length and a half by Aztlan, and she returns to a trip where her track-and-distance record is reliable. With 50kg, she has a strong each-way shape.

Improved into fourth at Mizusawa last start, beaten just under five lengths by Gurenno Arashi at long odds, which was a better effort than her last placing-free sequence suggested. The run prior at Kasamatsu was poor when last and beaten over 14 lengths in B4. She is proven at 1400m, but the lack of a placing in 14 starts over the past year tempers the appeal.

Returns from a one-month let-up after a solid third at Mizusawa, beaten a length and a half by Hecto Princess when sent out favourite. He was only fair first-up in B1 at this track, but that run has brought him on and he now reaches the third run of the campaign. His 1400m record is sound and Ryoto Tsukamoto knows him well, giving him the clearest winning profile.

Found the 1600m task beyond her last start at Mizusawa, finishing sixth and beaten seven and a half lengths after settling well back and never threatening. Her previous third at this track over 1200m was much sharper, beaten a length by Big Yashichi Roof. She has an excellent overall record at this venue, but recent figures still leave her chasing.

Worked home evenly for third at Mizusawa last start, beaten four and a half lengths by Gurenno Arashi at big odds. That was a better return than his previous sixth behind Exercise, where he was only battling from just off the speed. His 1400m record is solid, though he remains unplaced from two attempts at this track, so he appeals more for exotics than as a win bet.

Was safely held at Mizusawa last start, finishing seventh and beaten over 12 lengths behind Black Tornado at big odds, with no obvious excuse in the run. The better reference is her third to Exercise two starts back, when she kept finding to be beaten three lengths. She has placed regularly at this track and distance, and her record with Ryo Takamatsu makes a rebound realistic.

Has been well held in consecutive Mizusawa runs over 1600m, most recently eighth and beaten just over eight lengths by Real Muhammad after settling a long way back. Two back he was beaten over 11 lengths behind Raikono Hikari at long odds. The return to 1400m is more suitable on his record, but his recent finishing effort has not been strong enough.

Was fifth at Mizusawa last start, beaten just under seven lengths by Real Muhammad after coming under pressure late. His previous sixth behind Castle Top was weaker again, beaten over 11 lengths when unwanted in the market. He has placed four times from six starts at this track and distance, but another placing looks a more realistic target than winning.
