Morioka Race 5 - Race 5 - 1200
OPPIPOIKA (1) Resuming after a spell. Ran 4th last run here. Looking past the last run and has drawn the rails. This field suits. GLACE A LA VANILLE (6) Finished 5th last start at this track. May see an upturn in form. Should race on the speed. Must respect. GRACE RULER (11) Finished 7th last time at this track. Looking past the last run. Genuine winning chance. SUZHOU PRINCESS (5) Ran away with a win by a margin of 3L last time around here. Jockey Shinobu Murakami and trainer Chiba Kouki are a promising combination. Will be motoring home late. One of the major players.

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending last campaign with a fourth at this track, where he was tailed off behind Never Look Back despite being near the top of an open market. His better reference is the prior win at this venue, when sent out odds-on and picking up sharply to beat Mikino History by half a length. Proven at 1200m and reunited with a winning rider, he has enough positives to bounce back fresh.

Comes back on a six-day turnaround after finishing seventh at this track, beaten over 16 lengths by Iris Aster after having the job ahead and failing to close off. He was last in a COND here two runs back and finished well held, so the recent form is thin. His 1200m record includes two placings from six tries, which keeps him in the minor-money discussion rather than the main winning bracket.

Resumed with a last at this track over 1400m, beaten out of sight after settling rearward and offering no clear excuse. His previous official run was a COND win at Mizusawa, where he beat Mo Mo Indigo by two and a half lengths, so there is ability in the record. Even so, he has to produce a far sharper second-up performance before he can be treated as a reliable threat.

Backs up quickly after a second-last finish at this track, beaten a long way by Iris Aster at big odds and failing to come into the race. The run prior was better, placing second at Mizusawa behind Meiner Evince, though she was never a real threat there either. Her two wins from six starts at this track and distance are the saving grace, making her a place hope if she recaptures that course-and-trip form.

Dominated at this track last start, scoring by three lengths from Peace Lucky as the odds-on favourite and extending in the straight for an effortless win. That was a sharp response after she had been beaten seven and a half lengths in a Mdn at Sapporo over 2000m at long odds. Now one from one at this venue, proven at 1200m and kept with the winning rider, she looks the runner they all have to beat.

Finished fifth at this track last start, beaten over 11 lengths by Fukuno Antares after settling rearward, which was a fair result without offering a winning push. Two back at Mizusawa he was fourth but still beaten over 12 lengths after failing to finish it off. He did beat Grace Ruler at this track a couple of weeks ago, so a minor placing is within reach if the main chances underperform.

Was eighth at this track last start, beaten over 13 lengths by Fukuno Antares after conceding a big start and never getting into the race. The Sonoda run prior was also plain, finishing last in a C3 and beaten over 17 lengths at big odds. Still a maiden after 14 starts and unplaced at his only 1200m attempt, he looks up against it on exposed form.

Failed to fire on the quick back-up last start, finishing last at this track behind Iris Aster at big odds after settling rearward. Her previous fourth here was better, beaten just over four lengths by Herr Witz despite again being unwanted in betting. She has placed at this track and distance, but the maiden record and latest miss leave her with plenty to prove.

Was eighth at this track last start, beaten over 15 lengths by Nasiriyah after getting too far back and making no impression. That followed a sixth at Mizusawa, beaten over 16 lengths when unwanted in the market, so the recent pattern is hard to recommend. He has three placings from 20 runs around 1200m, but a one-win record from 62 starts makes the task steep.

Finished sixth at this track six days ago, beaten over 15 lengths by Iris Aster after conceding a huge start and always being behind the eight-ball. His prior Mizusawa run was no better, second last and beaten over 16 lengths at unwanted odds. A placing from three tries at this track and distance is only a small offset to a 22-start maiden record.

Worked home fairly but never threatened when seventh at this track last start, beaten over 12 lengths by Fukuno Antares after being near the top of betting. The run before was more encouraging, third at Mizusawa behind Hapina Star after coming from a long way back. She is still a maiden and tries around 1200m for the first time, yet her recent-season consistency keeps her among the stronger chances.
