Morioka Race 2 - Race 2 - 1400
BUMBUN MARU (5) Placed 2nd last time at Mizusawa. Should be swooping on the field late. Jockey Hidetoshi Abe is very comfortable steering. Will be competitive. MALLEOLUS (2) Did well when 3rd last time around here and drawn nicely. Can get the job done. ROCKY TITAN (9) On a quick back up. Disappointing display when 8th last start here but dropping weight. Has the necessary speed to overcome the wide draw. Must respect. EXCEPTION (7) Backing up quickly for this race. Ran 6th last time around here. Expected to rebound. Has a great burst of speed late. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value .

Made little impact when second last at this track first-up, settling rearward and finishing beaten over 19 lengths behind Gold Freedom at big odds. His prior eighth in C1 grade at Mizusawa was sounder, beaten four lengths, but that was before the break in racing. He has plenty of 1400m experience, yet his track-and-distance record is modest and he must find a much sharper finish to threaten.

Improved into third at this track last start, beaten five and a half lengths by Fukuno Antares after being given his chance and battling on for the minor money. The run prior came in B1 grade at Mizusawa, where he was never a winning hope but did keep coming. Weight relief is a plus, and six placings from eleven track-and-distance tries give him a solid platform to press the main chances.

Broke through in decisive style at this track last start, beating Ruby Sunset by seven lengths over 1200m after travelling strongly and extending right away. That was a major lift from her earlier C1 sixth at Mizusawa, where she was beaten over 12 lengths at big odds. The winning rider stays aboard and the light weight suits, so she has earned her place among the key winning hopes.

Has put consecutive thirds together at this track, most recently beaten six lengths by Texas Barows after lacking the turn of foot to challenge the winner. His earlier 1200m placing was also sound enough without being a winning threat. Still a maiden after 18 starts, but six placings show he can hold his form, and the quick back-up gives him a fair chance to run into the money again.

Returns from a six-week freshening after a strong second at Mizusawa, working home evenly to finish within a length of Chateau Bobby at long odds. That was a clear rebound from a plain B2 run at this venue over 1600m, where he was unwanted in the market and beaten over 13 lengths. His 1400m record, prior win at this track and good record with Hidetoshi Abe make him the runner they have to beat.

Finished ninth at this track last start, beaten over 20 lengths behind Texas Barows, and there was no hidden merit in the performance. The start prior was even weaker, finishing last behind Gold Freedom after settling rearward and dropping right out. His record at around 1400m is poor, and he will have to turn his form around sharply to get competitive.

Closed off fairly from a long way back when sixth at this track last start, beaten eight and a half lengths by Dona Aphrodite and never a winning factor. The run prior was similar, finishing sixth behind Gold Freedom after making no real headway. His track-and-trip credentials and proven partnership with Tatsunori Sugawara keep him in the place mix, but he has to settle closer to the action.

Was never in the race at this track last start, conceding a huge start and finishing ninth, beaten over 16 lengths behind Dona Aphrodite at long odds. He was also easily accounted for at Mizusawa the run prior, beaten just over nine lengths. A quick back-up alone is not enough to offset that form, and his poor track-and-distance record leaves him with plenty to prove.

Dropped out badly at this track last start, finishing eighth and beaten over 18 lengths behind Texas Barows after offering little in the straight. His Mizusawa third two runs back was much better, beaten four lengths after staying on honestly. Weight relief and a proven track-and-distance record help his place claims, but he has to leave that latest run well behind.

Settled handy at this track last start but weakened right out of it, finishing ninth and beaten over 16 lengths behind Gold Freedom at big odds. The previous fourth at Mizusawa was also well beaten on the margin, despite the in-running note reading more kindly. He remains winless from 20 starts and has yet to place at this track and distance, so improvement has to be substantial.
