Morioka Race 5 - Race 5 - 1200
KAMINO TOP ONE (8) Tidy run when 3rd last start at this venue. Shows good closing speed. Performing impressively since resuming from a spell. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. GARDEN BY THE BAY (4) Backing up quickly. Disappointing outing when 10th last start here. Expecting to settle positively. Can give this a shake. AJAIB (9) On a quick back up. Came in 5th last time at this track. Expecting improvement. Contender. RUBY SUNSET (1) On a quick turnaround. Average performance when 7th last time at this track but has minimal work to do from the draw. Displays good closing speed. Can fill a place in this field.

Has been giving away too much start, finishing seventh at this track six days ago, beaten over 10 lengths by Kung Fu Hero after being left with too much to do. The quick back-up is a positive, but the start prior was a well-held second last over 1400m. One placing from four tries around 1200m offers only minor comfort, so she must find a sharper closing effort.

Lifted sharply when third at this track last week, beaten just over two lengths by Lauter Jubel after being run down late. That also gave him the recent edge over Ajaib, and he has now placed at both the track and this distance, with Yuri Takahashi retaining a combination that has worked into the placings. The quick back-up is the only real reservation after an earlier sixth as a well-backed runner, but this is the right profile for him to break through.

Comes back to 1200m after two plain 1400m efforts, most recently tenth at this track when beaten just over eight lengths by Mean A Lot after failing to close off. She was well beaten at Mizusawa before that, so the recent form reads poorly. Her one previous try around this trip produced a placing, but one placing from 14 starts keeps the winning case thin; minor money is the more realistic target.

Second-up after a flat return at this track six days ago, where she finished last and was beaten over 17 lengths by Kung Fu Hero despite market respect. Her previous fourth behind Mikino History was sounder, and she has two placings from five tries around 1200m. Ryo Takamatsu has placed on her before, but she has to turn around that fresh run quickly.

Recent form is thin, with an eighth at this track last start when beaten over 12 lengths by Kung Fu Hero after giving away a big start. He had worked home only fairly from well back when sixth before that, and the market has wanted little to do with him. Winless through 22 starts and unplaced in four track-and-distance attempts, he is hard to recommend.

Has put together two fifths at this track, but the latest saw her beaten just over eight lengths by Kung Fu Hero after looming and failing to go on. She carries 50kg again, which helps a little, yet she was unwanted in betting and remains winless from 19 starts. An unplaced record from eight track-and-distance runs leaves her with plenty to prove.

Had little impact when sixth at this track last week, beaten nine and a half lengths by Kung Fu Hero after working home only fairly. The run prior is the key pointer: she was second to Nishino Tomaranai, beaten a length at big odds, and that form also saw her ahead of Ajaib recently. The quick back-up suits and two placings from six at this track and distance add support, though her low winning strike keeps her in the place bracket.

Continues to race consistently, following a Mizusawa second to Taisei Domani with a third at this track, beaten just under six lengths by Buley Rockhole after finishing strongly. He is still a maiden, but three placings from three rides for Shinobu Murakami and three placings around 1200m make him a dependable chance to land in the first three again.

Returns quickly after finishing fifth behind Lauter Jubel at this track last week, beaten just over nine lengths after failing to finish the job. The better guide may be her previous third to Nishino Tomaranai, where she was beaten just over a length and fought on well. Next Door had her measure last week, but the quick back-up is in her favour and her best recent figure keeps her right in the winning conversation.
