Morioka Race 9 - Race 9 - 1400
GURENNO ARASHI (9) Found another gear when winning by a margin of 4L last time at Mizusawa. Toshiya Yamamoto is a key booking. Gets a chance to win. HIRO SHIGE WAVE (5) Finished 6th last time at Mizusawa. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Respect. CASTLE TOP (7) In the money when 2nd last time at Mizusawa. Can take this out. EXERCISE (2) Placed 3rd last start at Mizusawa and has a good draw. Displays good tactical speed. Has not missed the money this campaign in 2 attempts. Will be around the mark at odds.

Went close as the well-supported favourite at Mizusawa last start, finishing second to Real Muhammad and beaten a neck after working home evenly over 1600m. Two back he was third behind Castle Top, making ground from well back at generous odds. The concern is the return to around 1400m, where he has placed often without winning, so he profiles as a minor hope rather than a sharp winning play.

Held third over 850m at Mizusawa last start after travelling well just off the lead but failing to quicken, beaten four and a half lengths by North Prima. His previous run was much better, beating Yamasho Queen by two and a half lengths as a well-supported favourite. Back to a trip where he has five wins, he has claims, though his unplaced record at this track tempers confidence.

Finished tenth behind Black Tornado at Mizusawa last start, beaten over 18 lengths after giving away many lengths and never looking likely. That came after a narrow second to Raikono Hikari over 1600m, so there is a better run in the form, but four previous starts around 1400m have produced no placings. She has to rebound sharply to trouble the main chances.

Improved last start when second to Gurenno Arashi at Mizusawa, beaten four lengths after settling rearward and starting as an outside chance. The run prior was plain when eighth behind Kaito Licht, finding little after being close enough to strike. Her two wins and five placings around this distance give her a base, but she has to bridge a margin on the key last-start winner.

Was safely held behind Black Tornado last start, beaten over 12 lengths after being unwanted in the market, though he did pick up in the straight. His previous second to Hecto Princess was far stronger, beaten just over a length after finishing strongly. With 16 wins and 22 placings from 71 starts around 1400m, he is well suited back in this shape and can rebound.

Was beaten over 14 lengths behind Black Tornado last start after conceding a big start, although she was fair through the line. She had been closer two runs ago when fifth to Kaito Licht, beaten three and a half lengths and nearer the top of an open market. The track-and-distance record is the positive, with one win and five placings from eleven attempts, but recent form keeps her to a place line.

Backed up his Mizusawa win with a solid second to Black Tornado last start, beaten six lengths but still holding a placing in a race where he was near the top of betting. The start prior he led and beat Big Sisi Roof by two and a half lengths as favourite over 1600m. His seven wins at this distance and recent edge over Hiro Shige Wave make him the horse with the most reliable winning profile.

Finished last behind Black Tornado at Mizusawa last start after settling miles back and failing to improve at big odds. The run prior was also well below the required mark, beaten over 15 lengths by Raikono Hikari when at long odds. She has won twice around 1400m, but current form is poor and she has been unplaced in four tries at this track and distance.

Put the race away quickly at Mizusawa last start, beating Corvina by four lengths as a short odds-on favourite. That was a decisive turnaround from his sixth in a COND at Saga, where he was beaten over 13 lengths at long odds and did not quicken. Back to the right distance range, his nine wins at 1400m and successful pairing with Toshiya Yamamoto make him a major threat again.

Just missed at Mizusawa last start when second to Pensee, beaten half a length after being pipped at the post at generous odds. His previous fourth to Grand Croix was also sound, beaten just under three lengths after settling rearward. A track-and-distance win and three further placings from eleven starts give him each-way substance, even if others bring a stronger winning edge.

Finished last behind Gifted Black over 1600m at Mizusawa last start, well beaten by 28 lengths at big odds. He had also been second last in a B1 at Mizusawa two runs earlier, beaten over 14 lengths after getting a long way back and failing to improve. The career record is better than his recent form, but he has been unplaced in all four starts this season and must lift markedly.
