Morioka Race 2 - Race 2 - 1200
MONTOYA (3) Faded in the late stages when 8th last time at Nakayama but back to a shorter distance. Racing for a new trainer. Toshiya Yamamoto is a strong choice aboard. Winning claims. FUKKATSUNO JUMBO (2) Came in 4th last time at Mizusawa. Has the talent to rebound quickly and gets a favourable gate. Has a nice turn of foot. Respect against this field. LAST PARADISE (10) On a short back up. Came in 6th last run at this track. Has to be included. ON THE GALAXY (9) Backing up quickly. Ran 8th last run at this venue. Has good finishing speed. Likely to fill a place.

Had every chance to finish off better when sixth in a C4 over 1500m at Mombetsu, beaten eight and a half lengths by Yamanin Canaletto after starting at generous odds. The run prior was weaker again, second last over 1700m and beaten over 19 lengths. The class drop and leading stable-rider combination help, but her 1200m record still leaves her looking more a place hope than a winning anchor.

Was fourth first-up at Mizusawa, but the margin tells the story, with Ryugo Pure beating him a long way after he settled rearward. His previous run in a Mdn at Fukushima Dirt was also heavy, finishing last and well beaten by 22 lengths at big odds. Second-up fitness may help a touch, but the exposed form says he has to find a lot more.

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing eighth in a Mdn over 2000m at Nakayama, beaten five and a half lengths by Cave De Vin when unable to make ground. He had earlier been fair through the line at Niigata despite conceding a big start. The first try around 1200m is the small question, but the class drop, third-up profile and strong rider booking make him the horse to beat.

Returns from a five-week let-up after a ninth in a Mdn over 1600m at Nakayama, where she gave away too much start and was never a factor. Two back at Fukushima she was in the right spot but dropped out sharply and was beaten a long way. That form is ordinary, but the class drop and fourth-up fitness give her a genuine chance to turn it around in this grade.

Resumed with a heavy last at Mizusawa, beaten a long way by Blue Crest after settling rearward and offering little in the run home. Her previous start at this track was also safely held, finishing ninth and beaten over 16 lengths by It's Only Love at long odds. With no placing from three starts around 1200m, she has plenty to correct before becoming competitive.

Was tenth at this track last week, beaten over 17 lengths by Wonder Valuence after conceding a big start and never entering the race. The Mizusawa run prior had a fair closing section from well back, but she was still beaten a long way. Her overall record remains a major concern, including six unplaced runs at this track and distance.

Dropped out to finish last in a B1 over 1600m at Morioka, beaten over 13 lengths by Silver Spade at big odds. His Mizusawa run prior was similar on the margin, so recent form is not flattering. The case is his return to a proven setup: two wins and one place from four starts at this track and distance give him genuine minor-money appeal.

Returns from a three-month break after ending last campaign with a second-last in a Mdn at Chukyo Dirt, beaten over 19 lengths by Tanisen Gold at long odds. His previous Kyoto run was no better, finishing 15th and well beaten by 22 lengths when unwanted in the market. The class drop is the only positive, so improvement has to be substantial.

Finished eighth at this track last week, beaten over 14 lengths by Wonder Valuence after getting a long way back and only working home mildly. Two back at Mizusawa he was beaten out of sight by Panorama Stage and never improved. He is race fit and has a stronger rider engaged, but seven unplaced starts leave him with a steep task.

Worked home fairly from well back at this track last week when sixth, but was still beaten over 12 lengths by Wonder Valuence at long odds. The start prior was weaker, finishing last and well beaten by 24 lengths. The quick back-up is a small plus, yet a 105-start maiden record and 41 unplaced track-distance runs are powerful negatives.

Back from a two-month break after finishing 14th in a Mdn over 1800m at Niigata, beaten over 12 lengths by Fuji Sun after settling well back. Her debut at Fukushima was also plain, finishing 13th and beaten ten lengths at big odds. She remains lightly raced, and the class drop third-up gives her scope to improve sharply enough to be a winning chance.
