Morioka Race 4 - Race 4 - 1400
GOLD FREEDOM (3) Winner by 2 1/2L last start around here and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Should race on the speed. Respect in this event. TEXAS BAROWS (8) Dominant winner by a margin of 4L last time here. Can't knock the form winning 2 in a row. Capable of forward showing and can be competitive. IRIS ASTER (9) Chimed in with a win by 2 1/2L last time at the track. Has been a model of consistency this preparation. Strong chance. NASIRIYAH (2) Ran away with a win by 6L last start at the track and showing consistent performance in races. Going well this preparation and drawn nicely. Right in this.

Has put two placings together at this track, most recently finishing third to Fukuno Antares when beaten six and a half lengths after settling rearward at long odds. The start prior was sharper, beaten just over two lengths by Bellagio Hope from a similar pattern. The light weight and rider record help, but he looks more a minor-money hope than a winning threat.

Won by six lengths at this track last start after leading and beating Nande Festive, so the recent form reads well at face value. He had earlier run third at Mizusawa, beaten four and a half lengths by Taisei Gigas, and his overall record of two wins from five starts is sound. This is a deeper assignment, however, and he has to prove that latest win transfers against stronger rivals.

Put away Hollyanne by two and a half lengths at this track last start after being heavily supported into very short odds-on territory, picking up strongly when asked. That followed a half-length second to Taisei Gigas at Mizusawa as favourite. With a win and two placings from three runs around 1400m, he brings reliable form and should be competitive again.

Bounced back when second to Mozu Gold Medal at this track last week, beaten four lengths after looking the winner before being run down late. The query is the run prior, when sent out a prohibitive odds-on favourite and finishing eighth behind Bellagio Hope without quickening. His record with Ryo Takamatsu is a plus, so a repeat of the latest keeps him in the mix.

Went close when second to Dona Aphrodite at this track last start, beaten just over a length after starting odds-on. He had been excellent at Mizusawa the run prior, beating Super Highway by six lengths, and he has placed in all three visits to this venue. With Masatoshi Yamamoto again aboard, he has the profile to turn the tables if he finds a little more late.

Made some late ground when fourth to Mozu Gold Medal last week, but he was still beaten over 11 lengths and unwanted in the market. The start prior showed his best, storming home at long odds to beat Mikino History by just under two lengths at this track. He has the experience and distance record to run on, but must rebound sharply to threaten.

Arrived in time to beat Tosen Amuse by just under a length at this track last start as an odds-on favourite, making up a lot of ground late. That improvement followed a distant third to Texas Barows at Mizusawa, beaten seven and a half lengths. She is progressing this campaign and handles 1400m, but this race demands a stronger performance than the bare margin of that win.

Has won his past two, most recently beating Jubel Sieg by four lengths at this track as odds-on favourite after kicking right away. He had also beaten Papipupe Pink by a length and a half at Mizusawa, so the current form is hard to fault. The selections look to hold slightly stronger overall claims, but he is too genuine at 1400m to dismiss as a place chance.

Extended cleanly to beat Super Highway by two and a half lengths at this track last start, when well supported and never seriously threatened late. Her venue record is a major asset, with two wins and a placing from three starts at this track, and she has a strong association with Toshiki Yamamoto. The Mizusawa fourth two back is a small mark, but she rates a strong danger.

Comes off a decisive win over Hapina Star at this track, scoring by just over a length after being kept safe near the top of betting. The start prior was another sound second at Mizusawa behind Twin Biscuits, and her 1400m record gives the form real substance. With Toshiya Yamamoto unbeaten from a place perspective on her, she brings the strongest winning profile.
