Morioka Race 4 - Race 4 - 1400
TOSEN AMUSE (10) Tidy effort when 2nd last start at this track. Might take a while to wind up but should be hitting top gear in the straight. Gets a chance to win. SWATOW (4) Did well when 2nd last start at the track and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Should be swooping on the field late. Winning hope. M T TOP (1) Placed 3rd last start around here and will appreciate a good draw. Can get the job done. DORITARU (11) Backing up quickly. Came in 5th last start here. One to watch closely and a legitimate knockout hope.

Worked into a placing at this track last start, finishing third behind Nobori Smile and beaten just over three lengths despite being unwanted in the market. The start prior she picked up well for fourth over 1200m, so her recent form has substance. She is well exposed around 1400m, with six wins and nine placings at the trip, and that record gives her a genuine winning platform.

Dropped out badly at this track last start, finishing second last behind Nasiriyah and beaten over 16 lengths after settling rearward. Her previous fourth behind La La Clochette was far more competitive, but she has no win from 18 starts around 1400m and only one placing from six at this track and distance. A sharp rebound is required to trouble the better chances.

Has been safely held at his past two starts, finishing sixth behind Texas Barows at this track last time and beaten over 16 lengths after making no impression late. That followed a distant seventh at Mizusawa when big odds. The rider booking is a positive, but he is unplaced in five tries at this track and distance and must find far more.

Went very close at this track last start, finishing second to Buley Rockhole and beaten just under a length after being near the top of betting. She had also tried hard when third at Mizusawa, so the form is moving the right way. Still looking for her first win, but she is rated strongly on recent form and has placed at this venue, making her the runner they have to beat.

Has not offered much in two recent runs, finishing last behind Panorama Stage last week after conceding a huge start, then ninth behind Mean A Lot the start prior. She does have a win and seven placings at this track and distance, and the quick back-up is noted as a positive, but the current form leaves her with a sizeable task.

Finished sixth behind Nasiriyah at this track last start, beaten over 10 lengths after only producing a moderate final effort. His Mizusawa seventh two back was also plain, though the return of a rider who has won on him is a useful counterpoint. He has won around 1400m, but recent margins keep him more in the minor-money bracket.

Caught the eye late when fourth at this track last week, even though the margin behind Panorama Stage was over 12 lengths. That followed a much sharper second to Sanei Cannon, beaten just under a length after looming up strongly. The 1400m record is still the concern, but she is race fit, on a suitable back-up and has enough recent form to press hard.

Comes off two heavy defeats, the latest a ninth behind Fukuno Antares at this track after conceding a big start and never getting into the race. Weight relief gives him a better setup, and his recent-season rating keeps him in the place discussion, but a maiden record of two placings from 35 starts makes the winning case difficult to build.

Worked home from back in the field for fourth behind Nasiriyah at this track last start, beaten just over eight lengths at big odds. Her Mizusawa third two back was better, though still well held by Yakujo. She has placed twice from six runs around 1400m and owns enough consistency for a place ticket, but the win remains elusive.

Charged home from a seemingly hopeless position to run second behind Mean A Lot at this track last start, beaten just under a length at generous odds. He had worked home evenly for third at Mizusawa the run prior, and three placings from three attempts around 1400m says the trip suits. Still a maiden, but his consistency makes him a genuine place threat.

Finished a distant last behind Suzhou Princess last week, with the late finish unable to offset the size of the margin. He had also been beaten over 16 lengths behind Iris Aster six days earlier. His broader 1400m record includes two wins, but he is unplaced in 11 starts across the past 12 months and has to turn things around sharply.
