Morioka Race 8 - Race 8 - 1400
COMBAT TAURUS (4) Finished 4th last run at this venue. Looking past the last run. Respect. CYNTHIA (7) Finished 7th last run at this track. Happy to overlook that run. Toshiya Yamamoto is a pivotal booking. Appears well in this. BLEU CHATEAU (5) Finished 6th last run around here. Will give a big sight. BORDEAUX NESEBAR (1) Was competitive when 2nd last run at this venue and has minimal work to do from the barrier. Shows good finishing speed. Capable of a running a place.

Resumed with a sound second at this track, working home evenly behind Yakujo and finishing beaten seven lengths at generous odds. His previous run was an eighth in B2 grade at Funabashi, where he came from a long way back without threatening. With three wins and five placings from 17 previous starts around 1400m, he has enough distance grounding to be a strong winning chance second-up.

Finished tenth at Mizusawa over 1600m last start, beaten over 13 lengths after settling rearward and starting unwanted in the market. She had also been beaten over 16 lengths there at her previous run, despite being close enough before dropping out. A past track-and-trip win is a positive, but current form leaves her with a lot to turn around.

Dropped right out when second last over 1600m at this track, finishing well beaten after fading late and being unwanted in the market. The run prior at Mizusawa was also plain, with a seventh behind Pensee after giving away a start. The lighter weight and return to a winning distance help her place case, but recent form makes the win harder to sell.

Won well in C2 grade at Mizusawa two starts ago, beating Happy Dance by two lengths as an odds-on favourite, and that sits neatly against an excellent record around 1400m. His latest fourth at this track was a long way from the winner after settling back, so it cannot be ignored, but two wins from five with Rei Iwamoto and the strongest recent profile make him the horse to beat.

Worked on fairly for sixth over 1600m at this track last start, beaten six and a half lengths after having the job ahead. He was fifth in C2 grade at Mizusawa two back, beaten over 11 lengths at long odds, so the recent form is more honest than threatening. His one win and six placings from 14 starts at this track and distance keep him in the place mix.

Was only eighth at this track last start, beaten five lengths after travelling handy enough but failing to finish off. His previous third at Mizusawa was much stronger, picking up well to be beaten a length behind Pensee at generous odds. With a win from three at this venue and a prior 1400m win, he can rebound if he recaptures that sharper Mizusawa effort.

Finished seventh over 1600m at this track last start, beaten seven lengths after failing to finish the job as an outside chance in betting. The run prior was a useful third in B1 grade at Mizusawa, beaten five and a half lengths at big odds. She has placed six times from 10 tries around 1400m, so she profiles as a genuine place chance if that B1 run is repeated.

Was fourth at this track last start but still beaten over 12 lengths after failing to quicken, so the finishing position flatters the run. The start prior at Mizusawa was weaker again, finishing second last and beaten over 14 lengths. Her three wins and four placings from 13 starts at this track and distance are notable, but current form demands far more.

Resumed with a last placing at this track, finishing well beaten by 23 lengths behind Positive Spin after offering little in the straight. Her previous run before that was also a last in B2 grade at this venue, where she finished well held and was unwanted in the market. The older mare has past 1400m substance, but recent evidence is hard to recommend.

Worked home evenly when second last at this track, beaten just over six lengths behind Meisho Yufuin while unwanted in the market. His Mizusawa fifth two back was similar, beaten just under seven lengths after coming under pressure late. He has placed four times from seven at this track and distance, but recent runs suggest he is more likely to fill a minor role than win.

Battled into eighth at this track last start, beaten over 15 lengths after sitting just off the pace and finding little when asked. She was also eighth at Mizusawa the run before, beaten nine and a half lengths after settling rearward. Her long career includes plenty of 1400m wins, but this campaign's form has not been sharp enough for this assignment.
