Morioka Race 8 - Race 8 - 1600
MEISHO MEISUI (3) Only fair when 6th last time at Mizusawa. Can make a comeback. Good prospects. DIVING HEAD (2) Placed 2nd last start at this track and has a good draw. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Showing good ability this campaign. Underrated. FUTAITEN WHEEL (1) Ran 2nd last time here and has minimal work to do from the draw. On an upward trajectory in recent races. Could give some each way value. TOUR MODEL (5) Well beaten when 8th last run at the track. Masatoshi Yamamoto is a suitable booking. Likely to get back in the run. Better claims.

Went close at this track last start, finishing second over 1400m and beaten a length by Never Ever after tracking the speed and working home evenly. She had earlier closed off from well back for fourth at Mizusawa when unwanted in the market. The 1600m record is the obvious query, but the light weight and strong jockey record give her a genuine winning profile.

Has returned two solid seconds this campaign, most recently beaten two lengths at this track after looming up and fighting on behind Montsaint Il Vento. The run prior at Mizusawa was sharper again, beaten only a neck by Daisen Rouge. She has placed six times from 11 starts around 1600m, so the form is reliable enough to rate highly.

Recent form has tapered off, with a sixth at Mizusawa last start when beaten just over eight lengths after sitting close enough but failing to challenge. That followed a seventh there, beaten over 19 lengths and never a factor. He is a four-time winner at this track and distance, but the current figures leave him with plenty to turn around.

Has been well beaten in both runs this campaign, finishing last in a B1 at this track over 1400m after getting a long way back and making no impact. He was also safely held in B1 grade at Mizusawa the start prior. The return to B2 company and his track-distance record help, but recent form is too poor to ignore.

Was only fair through the line when eighth at this track last start, beaten eight and a half lengths by Just Because after being unwanted in the market. Her previous fourth over 1900m at Mizusawa had more merit, but she remains unplaced from 13 starts in the past 12 months. A return to old mile form is required.

Resumed with a narrow C1 win at Mizusawa, making up plenty of ground to beat Early Leg by a nose at long odds. He also won his previous run at Mizusawa before a break, scoring by just under two lengths over 1400m. The current winning habit is appealing, though this looks a more demanding test than the margin suggests.

Has been safely held at her past two, finishing ninth at this track last start when beaten over 11 lengths after settling rearward and making no impression. She had been well backed in a B1 at Mizusawa two back but could only run eighth, beaten over 14 lengths. The track record offers some hope, but the mile record is a concern.

Recent results are not flattering, with an eighth at this track last start when beaten seven and a half lengths after giving away too much ground. She was also second last in B1B2 grade at Mizusawa two back. Against that, four wins and five places from 13 starts at this venue keep her in the place conversation if she improves.
