Morioka Race 10 - Race 10 - 1600
PURE MAKENA (9) Disappointing outing when 8th last time here. Should muster plenty of early speed. Ryou Takamatsu is a bonus. Serious player. PARTY BELL (6) Kicked clear when winning by a margin of 4L last run at Mizusawa. Undefeated last 3 starts. Will be motoring home late. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. DAISEN ROUGE (8) Disappointing effort when 9th last time at this venue. Jockey Shinobu Murakami and trainer Chiba Kouki command respect as a team. Gets a chance to win. VOLCAN BARU (1) First up from a break of 22 weeks and won narrowly by a nose first up last preparation at Kochi. First race for a new trainer. Can go on with it.

Returns from a lengthy spell after finishing sixth in a C2 at Kochi, beaten just over two lengths behind Neujahr after giving away a start and working home without ever threatening. He had been second in C3 company before that, but was beaten eight lengths as favourite. The 1600m record is sound enough, yet he resumes at a new venue and must lift sharply.

Has not threatened in two recent runs, finishing sixth at this track behind Spiritual after being big odds, then seventh at Mizusawa when beaten over 13 lengths by Tovarisch. The counter is his proven 1600m background and a solid record with Ryo Kobayashi aboard. That profile gives him a place case, though the winning edge has been missing lately.

Recent form is hard to support, with a sixth at Mizusawa behind Tovarisch following an eighth behind Liberte, both times beaten over 13 lengths and unwanted at big odds. He does have two wins at this track and distance, but those stats are offset by the plain current pattern. A major form reversal is required.

Was safely held as favourite when fifth at this track a fortnight ago, beaten three and a half lengths by Spiritual after being in contention before weakening. The stronger guide may be his previous Mizusawa third, where he was beaten a neck by Tovarisch at big odds. With two wins and two placings from nine starts at this track and distance, he rates as a genuine winning chance.

Safely held when seventh at this track last start, beaten five lengths behind Spiritual after travelling handy enough but failing to finish off. The run prior at Mizusawa was also only fair when fifth and beaten just over nine lengths by Tovarisch. His record at this venue is strong, but the 1600m figures leave him looking more a minor-money hope.

Arrives in peak form after three straight wins, most recently beating Taisei Adamas by four lengths in a C2 at Mizusawa when near the top of betting. He had scored by three lengths as an odds-on favourite six days earlier, so the winning pattern is well established. His 1600m record is solid and the strong partnership with Shion Sasaki makes him the one they have to beat.

Third-up now, but the first two runs this campaign have been poor. She was last at this track behind Admire Lupus, beaten a long way after finding nothing, and had earlier finished seventh at Mizusawa behind Liberte when making no late impact. A track placing offers only minor encouragement, and recent form leaves her with plenty to turn around.

Had every chance when ninth at this track behind Spiritual, beaten seven lengths after being poised to challenge before the run ended. Her previous Mizusawa win in B2 grade was more encouraging, holding on by a neck over Diving Head as a very short odds-on favourite. With Shinobu Murakami back aboard, she can rebound into the placings if that latest failure is put aside.

Led at this track last start but weakened to finish eighth behind Admire Lupus, beaten over 13 lengths after sitting near the top of an open market. His previous fifth here behind Sakura Mau was better, beaten just under two lengths in C1 company. The track-and-distance record and Ryo Takamatsu booking are positives, but he must improve markedly on the latest run.
