Morioka Race 11 - Race 11 - 1400
LASER SPECKLE (9) Looked good when 2nd last run at the track. Amongst the placegetters at every start this campaign. Can get the job done. YAMANIN LIRIO (2) Solid effort when winning by 2 1/2L last start around here and has a positive draw. Can't knock the form winning 2 on the bounce. Jockey Toshiya Yamamoto rates highly. Strong chance. SOL DE VERANO (11) Chimed in with a win by 1 1/4L last run at the track. Has been a model of consistency since resuming from a spell. Winnable race. SPIRITUAL (3) Nice effort when winning by 1 1/4L last time at this venue. Won last 2 in succession. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Can be competitive.

Returns after six weeks off following a plain eighth at Mizusawa, where he was unwanted in the market and beaten over 12 lengths after giving away a big start. His third at this venue two runs back was better, and the return to 1400m is supported by four wins from five tries around the trip. Even so, he has to rebound sharply from that latest effort to trouble the main hopes.

Comes off back-to-back wins and the latest was decisive, beating Laser Speckle by two and a half lengths at this track after sitting close enough to extend clear. She had also finished over the top at Mizusawa the run prior, so the form reads strongly from both race shapes. One win and two placings from six tries around 1400m keeps the trip workable, and the winning rider is two from two on her. The current form makes her the one to beat.

Put away Sakura Top Mambo by just over a length at this track last start, showing a neat turn of foot after travelling into it strongly. That followed a narrow C1 win at Mizusawa when sent out favourite, so the winning habit is well established. Her four wins and one placing from five starts at this venue command respect, though this looks a deeper test for win purposes.

Worked home over the top to win by a head at this track last start, doing so at generous odds and showing there is still a spark in the nine-year-old. The query is that his previous run at Mizusawa was a heavy defeat in C1 grade, beaten over 13 lengths after making no headway. A strong past-12-month record and three wins at this venue keep him in the place mix.

Was well beaten at Mizusawa last start, finishing ninth behind Waganse and beaten over 16 lengths after making no impression from the rear. His previous run at this venue was also safely held at long odds. The track-and-trip record is sound and he has combined well with Yu Suzuki, but recent form leaves him requiring a sizeable turnaround.

Has finished ninth at both latest starts, most recently beaten over 12 lengths at this track when at long odds and unable to make an impression. She was also well beaten by Yamanin Lirio at Mizusawa before that despite being near the top of an open market. A past track-and-trip win is noted, but her current form is well short of the required mark.

Returns after four months off, having ended her last campaign with a seventh at this track when long odds and never in the race. She had earlier finished fifth at Mizusawa, again at a big price, so the exposed form is modest. One win and one placing from three starts at this track and distance gives her some footing, but she must show more fresh.

Worked home well for third at Mizusawa first-up, beaten just under three lengths when an outside chance in betting. That was a clear step back in the right direction after a plain Nagoya run, and her record at 1400m is useful with one win and two placings from three starts. She still has to transfer that improvement to this venue, but a minor placing is within reach.

Finished second as favourite behind Yamanin Lirio at this track last start, beaten two and a half lengths after racing prominently and being safely held. The start prior is an important counterpoint, as he beat Sol De Verano in B1B2 grade at Mizusawa after a tough late contest. With three wins and one placing from four starts at this venue, he remains a serious winning chance.

Worked home evenly when eighth in A2 company at Mizusawa last start, beaten seven lengths after being near the top of betting. His fourth at this track before that was more encouraging, beaten three lengths after picking up nicely in the straight. The class drop helps his place case, and his long partnership with Shinobu Murakami is a genuine asset.

Won a B2 at this track last start by just over a length, extending clear after being right in the firing line and confirming his good recent form. He had been caught late by Laser Speckle at Mizusawa the run prior, beaten just under a length in B1B2 grade. Two wins and two placings from ten at this track and distance, plus a strong rider record, give him a sound winning platform.
