Morioka Race 9 - Race 9 - 1400
MEINER EVINCE (4) Finished 4th last start at the track. Giving another go here. Displays very good finishing speed. Strong claims. FORNACALIA (5) Came in 6th last run at Nakayama. Capable of bouncing back. First start for a new trainer. Likely to be well placed early. Looks to be value. TENKUNO YAMAJIRO (6) Resuming after a break. Came in 4th last run at Kasamatsu. Overlooking the last run. First race for a new trainer. Goes very close. MONT LUNE (1) Looked good when 3rd last start at this venue and drawn the rails. Has the ability to figure.

Returned to form when third at this track last start, picking up nicely late to be beaten a length and a half by Sei Brocken at generous odds. The start prior was a plain second last in a C2 at Mizusawa, but she did beat Meiner Evince in that latest run and gets in with 50kg. The 1400m record is the query, yet she is well placed to run another bold race.

Had no real answer at this track last start, finishing seventh and beaten over 19 lengths after settling a long way back at long odds. His previous run was much stronger, leading throughout to beat Fantasma by four lengths in a C2 at Mizusawa. Unplaced in seven starts at this track and distance, so he appeals more as a place hope if he can rebound sharply.

Finished last at this track last start, beaten a long way after settling rearward and offering no clear excuse as an unwanted runner in the market. That followed a seventh at Mizusawa when beaten over 17 lengths at long odds. She has placed at the trip before, but five unplaced runs at this track and distance leave her with plenty to find.

Was solid rather than spectacular when fourth at this track last start, beaten three lengths by Sei Brocken after settling rearward as one of the favoured runners. The run prior carried more authority, winning a C2 at Mizusawa by five lengths as an odds-on favourite. With two wins and three places from seven starts at this venue, he remains a strong winning player.

Returns from a two-month break with form that reads well for this assignment. He was sixth in a Mdn at Nakayama Dirt last start, beaten four and a half lengths but sticking to the task, after a fighting second at Kawasaki when a well-supported favourite. Still a maiden, but the class drop, suitable 1400m profile and leading rider give him the strongest winning case.

Returns from a six-month spell after ending last campaign with a fourth at Kasamatsu, beaten just over six lengths when near the top of betting. His previous run was weaker, finishing sixth over 800m and beaten over 16 lengths. A maiden after 13 starts, he has two placings from five tries at this distance but will have to return in improved order.

Has been well below the required level recently, finishing tenth at this track last start and beaten over 17 lengths at big odds after failing to make headway. Two back he was seventh in a C2 at Mizusawa, beaten over 10 lengths as a huge outsider. His long 1400m record includes wins, but current form leaves him hard to recommend.

Was second last at this track last start, beaten a long way after conceding a huge start and never getting into the race. The start prior was a seventh at Mizusawa over 850m when again well back and unwanted in the market. He has won with Masatoshi Yamamoto before, but recent form says he must improve sharply.

Was disappointing at this track last start, finishing last and beaten over 18 lengths despite being near the top of an open market. She had earlier been tailed off in a Mdn at Sapporo Dirt, so the current campaign has clearly gone the wrong way. Her distance ratings and fourth-up profile offer some hope, but she is a place chance at best.

Has been safely held at his past two, most recently ninth at Mizusawa when beaten over 12 lengths at long odds after never looking likely. He was also ninth there two back, beaten over 14 lengths. The counter is a genuine one: he has won and placed at this track and distance, which keeps him in the minor-money conversation.
