Morioka Race 5 - Race 5 - 1200
JUNO VERT (5) Competed in a tight contest last run at Mizusawa. Jockey Toshiya Yamamoto is a strong choice aboard. Up to these. MAKOTO DAITOREN (2) In the money when 2nd last start at this track and has a good draw. Producing consistent results this campaign. In the mix. CHIHAYABURU RUN (8) Ran 4th last start here. Can win at odds. TYPEFACE (9) Average at best when 9th last time here. Should be rolling forward early from the wide draw. Capable of a big run.

Has finished fourth at his past two runs, most recently beaten five and a half lengths over 1000m at this track after travelling up but being swamped late. The run prior at Mizusawa followed a similar pattern, leading into the lane before tiring. His jockey record is sound, but one placing from nine around 1200m leaves him with a clear task to finish this off.

Comes through successive C1 seconds behind North Prima, the latest at this track when beaten just over a length after settling back and working home evenly. She has a reliable 1200m profile with three wins and three placings from 18 tries, and Masatoshi Yamamoto has won six times on her. The quick back-up suits, so she profiles as a solid place chance again.

Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing seventh in a C2 over 1400m at this track, beaten four and a half lengths without offering a clear excuse. Her previous run was much better when second to Fairial Gift, and the move back to 1200m suits on the evidence of one win from one try at the trip. With a class drop in her favour, she can rebound strongly.

Was eighth at this track last start, beaten seven and a half lengths after failing to finish it off, and that followed a well-beaten second last at Mizusawa when big odds. His track-and-distance record is respectable and Shinobu Murakami has a strong history with him, but recent form leaves too much ground to make up.

Returns from a two-month freshening in excellent form, having gone down by a neck in B1 grade at Mizusawa after looming and fighting hard. She had also been beaten only half a length at this track the start prior, so her recent form is clearly the strongest line in the race. The return to 1200m is manageable given she has placed at the trip, and the class drop makes her the one to beat.

Worked home fairly for fourth over 1600m at this track last start, beaten three and a half lengths by Montsaint Il Vento after not quickening when required. Her prior B1 sixth at Mizusawa was plain, but she has won at this venue and is race fit. The 1200m record is the obvious query, yet her latest run was sound enough to keep her in the winning discussion.

Has been beaten over 11 lengths and over 14 lengths at her past two runs, most recently seventh at this track after offering little in the closing stages. She has won twice at this venue, so the setting is not the issue, but her 1200m record is also thin. A sharp turnaround in finishing effort is required.

Led and gave a sight when fourth in a C1 over 1000m at this track last week, beaten three lengths after tiring late as one of the better-fancied runners. That came after an odds-on Mizusawa win where she opened up to beat Saisir Le Reve. She is proven at this track and distance, and the light weight keeps her a genuine placing hope.

Was disappointing last start when second last at this track, beaten over 11 lengths after starting near the top of an open market. The run prior was much stronger, winning a C2 over 1400m at this venue after being heavily supported into very short odds-on territory. Her track record is useful, but the 1200m record makes her more a place hope than a clear win push.

Finished eighth at this track last start, beaten eight and a half lengths after settling well back and only working through the line fairly. She was last at Mizusawa the run before and was among the outsiders there. With no placing from four starts at this venue, she has plenty to find against stronger recent profiles.
