Morioka Race 4 - Race 4 - 1400
SAKURA BEAU BELLE (8) Missed by a narrow margin last run at this venue. Should come to hand quickly. In the mix. TAISEI GIGAS (6) Came in 8th last run at this venue. Likely to bounce back. Racing consistently since returning from a break. Can give this a shake. SANEI CANNON (2) Nice effort when winning by 3/4L last start at this venue and drawn nicely. On an upward trajectory in recent races. Could sneak a place. MOZU GOLD MEDAL (7) Won by 2 1/2L last start here and stepping back up in trip. Made it 2 wins on the bounce. Jockey Toshiya Yamamoto rates highly. Don't disregard.

Worked home evenly for third at this track last start, beaten just over four lengths by Dona Aphrodite at generous odds. That was an improvement on her Mizusawa run when last and beaten over 10 lengths after offering little late, but the 1400m record remains thin with only one placing from 15 attempts. She has minor place claims at best unless she finds another level.

Produced a timely win at this track over 1200m last start, working over the top to beat Kitano Shion by just under a length when near the top of betting. He was also third to Hollyanne at Mizusawa the run prior, but the return to 1400m is more testing than that win and he is unplaced from five starts at this track and distance. That leaves him with work to do despite the last-start success.

Won first-up at this track, sitting right there and prevailing by a neck from Sakura Beau Belle in a solid C2 result. That confirmed both the venue and distance suit, and the winning rider stays aboard second-up. Her Hakodate Mdn run before the break was plain, but the latest effort is the relevant form and she gets every chance to back it up as the horse to beat.

Finished sixth at this track last week, beaten nine and a half lengths by Fukuno Antares after having many lengths to make up, though she did work home fairly. Her previous sixth behind Bellagio Hope was similar, coming from too far back to seriously threaten. The quick back-up is a plus, but she is unplaced in three runs at this track and distance and must improve sharply.

Ran second at this track last start, beaten two and a half lengths by Gold Freedom after being safely held, so the bare placing was sound rather than dominant. The Mizusawa win prior reads better, when she was strong through the line as a prohibitive odds-on favourite and beat Satono Medusa by two lengths. With Masatoshi Yamamoto retained, she profiles as a genuine placing hope with some winning chance.

Was a beaten odds-on favourite at this track last start, finishing eighth and beaten six and a half lengths after settling handy but failing to quicken. That was well below his Mizusawa win the run before, when he fought on to beat Gold Freedom by half a length. His 1400m record is strong enough to respect, and Ryo Takamatsu has two wins from three rides, but he has to rebound to be a winning factor.

Comes in winning, having scored by two and a half lengths at this track over 1000m after being heavily supported into very short odds-on territory. That followed a dominant ten-length Mizusawa win, so her current form is clearly the strongest recent streak in the race. She is proven around 1400m and has an excellent record with Toshiya Yamamoto, making her a major threat again.

Went down by only a neck to Charming Eye at this track last start after holding a slight advantage and fighting hard as the odds-on favourite. She had also placed at Mizusawa two runs back, and her record at this venue is one win and one placing from two starts. The last-start defeat is the query, but her consistency and track profile make her a strong winning chance.

Dropped out to finish last at this track last week, beaten over 17 lengths by Fukuno Antares after making no impression from well back. She was also ninth behind Bellagio Hope the start prior when unwanted in the market and never in the race. With no placing from ten starts at this track and distance, it is hard to build a case on recent evidence.

Finished seventh at this track last week, beaten over 10 lengths by Fukuno Antares after conceding a huge start and making only fair late ground. His previous fifth behind Bellagio Hope had more merit, beaten just under three lengths after picking up nicely in the straight, but he remains winless from 16 starts overall. A minor placing is the more realistic target.

Turned his form around at this track last start, letting down strongly to beat Mikino History by just under two lengths at long odds. That followed a plain sixth at Mizusawa, but his career record is solid and his 1400m background is extensive, with ten wins around the trip. The wide draw is not ideal, yet he has enough substance to be considered for exotics.
