Morioka Race 3 - Race 3 - 1400
LEON ANTHA (6) Not up to scratch when 10th last run at Mizusawa. Can measure up to this company. AH SEXY (11) Won by 2L last time at this venue and showing improvement in recent outings. Possesses good finishing speed. Respect in this event. NISHINO TOMARANAI (4) Solid win by 1L last start at this venue. Will be competitive. BENEFACTOR (1) Competitive effort when 3rd last run here and can save some energy from the draw. Toshiya Yamamoto adds value. Can win this.

Worked home past tired rivals to finish third behind Charming Eye at this track last start, but the margin was still just over seven lengths. His prior fourth in C1 at Mizusawa was more competitive, beaten just over two lengths after picking up nicely. Toshiya Yamamoto has won on him and barrier one helps, yet the 1400m record leaves him with a sizeable task.

Finished fourth behind Gold Freedom at this track a fortnight ago, beaten four and a half lengths, and that line has merit because he had Matsurida Sirius and Inestimable covered. The failure to quicken is the slight concern, while his overall maiden record keeps the price in check. Still, with Ryo Takamatsu back aboard and a low draw, his recent form reads strongly enough to win.

Was unwanted in the market and beaten over 18 lengths behind Dona Aphrodite at this track last week, never getting into contention. Two back at Mizusawa she held a narrow lead before being swamped and beaten nine lengths, so the recent pattern is hard to endorse. She has won around 1400m before, but current form leaves her chasing significant improvement.

Made the most of strong market confidence last start, coming from well back to beat Matricaria by a length over 1200m at this track as a dominant odds-on favourite. That followed a plain Mdn run at Nakayama Dirt when unwanted in betting. The rise to 1400m is the question given three unplaced attempts around the trip, but confidence from that win keeps him in the mix.

Kept going honestly enough for fifth behind Dona Aphrodite at this track last week, but he was beaten eight and a half lengths and never looked a winning hope. His previous run was much weaker, tenth behind Gold Freedom and beaten over 18 lengths. The old track-and-trip record gives him some grounding, yet recent form says others have his measure.

Was a distant last in C1 grade at Mizusawa four weeks ago after giving up meekly, and that has to be treated seriously because she was respected in an open market. The counterpoint is her previous second at this track, beaten a neck by Happy Karn after looming and fighting hard. Back to that level and she is a realistic place chance, but the latest run stops her being marked higher.

Produced her best recent effort when fourth to Dona Aphrodite at this track last week, beaten six lengths after having many lengths to make up and sticking to the task. That was a clearer finishing effort than her seventh behind Gold Freedom the run prior, when she made no impression. She is yet to win often, but the latest run gives her a genuine winning platform if repeated.

Has been out of form in stronger C1 races, finishing ninth at Urawa last start when beaten over 14 lengths at long odds after never looking likely. The Funabashi run prior was similar, second last and beaten over 12 lengths after making no headway. She has won at the distance before, but the class drop is only a small help unless her finishing effort lifts sharply.

Returns from a three-month break after ending last preparation well held in a Mdn over 2000m at Sapporo, where she faded late at long odds. Her earlier Hanshin effort also lacked finish, though she was near the top of an open market there and remains lightly raced with one placing from three starts. Untested around 1400m, she profiles as a cautious place hope rather than a clear top pick.

Ran fifth at this track last start, beaten four and a half lengths by Gold Freedom after being near the top of an open market, so the market has not missed him. He was a distant third at Mizusawa prior as odds-on favourite, but weight relief and a previous placing at this venue point to a better setup. Despite the maiden record, this is his chance to turn consistent involvement into a win.

Led throughout to beat Kung Fu Hero by two lengths over 1200m at this track last week, a sharp turnaround from her Mizusawa sixth when beaten over 15 lengths at big odds. She stays on 52kg and has won at this venue, but the step back up to 1400m is a fair query after two unplaced tries around the trip. Place claims look the right level.
