Morioka Race 7 - Race 7 - 1600
JOE BAROWS (2) First run back from a break. Fought on gamely when winning by 1/2L last run here and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Toshiya Yamamoto is highly regarded. Can win. XENO GRACE (5) Finished 5th last start around here. Giving another go here. Won't be far away during the run. Shinobu Murakami and Yoshinori Sasaki form a proven partnership. Going well this campaign. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. YUKIDOKE MAJIKA (9) Gave nothing else a chance when winning by 3L last run at Mizusawa. The wide draw shouldn't be a problem with plenty of early speed. No shock to see a win. MIZUSAN WISDOM (4) Finished 6th last time at this venue. Performing honestly since coming back from a spell. Don't disregard.

Had every chance to be closer when fifth at this track last start, finishing beaten over 14 lengths by Rikea Samba at long odds. His Mizusawa win the start prior was much stronger, sweeping home as an odds-on favourite to beat Yuyu Julep by a length. With the winning rider back and one win around 1600m already, he has enough substance to stay in the placing mix.

Returns from a three-month break after ending the last campaign with consecutive wins at this track, most recently driving hard late to beat Fumi Tatsu Action by half a length as a short odds-on favourite. He had won by four lengths the start prior and owns two wins from three starts. The untried 1600m is the main qualification, but his local record makes him a major player fresh.

Has finished sixth at both recent runs at this track, beaten over 11 lengths by Crimson Dahlia last start after conceding a huge start and never threatening. The start prior was similar when well held by Rikea Samba at long odds. He has a track win on the page, but with no placing from two goes around 1600m, he will have to lift sharply.

Was near the top of betting at this track last start but could only finish sixth, beaten just under six lengths by Aimable, after failing to make headway. His third at Mizusawa two back was sound enough from the rear, and one win plus four placings from six starts shows some reliability. The first look at 1600m is the question, so he profiles as a place hope rather than a clear winning threat.

Failed to finish off when fifth at this track last start, beaten just over eight lengths by Crimson Dahlia, but his wider record is much stronger than that run alone. He had beaten Matsurida Genkiman here the start prior and has three wins from six overall, including one from two around 1600m. Shinobu Murakami has won twice on him, and the proven track-distance profile gives him a strong winning case.

Resumed with a seventh at this track, beaten just over six lengths by Aimable after settling prominently and coming under pressure late. His only other start was a decisive debut win at this venue, beating Yukidoke Majika by four lengths when well found in an open market. The first attempt around 1600m brings some doubt, but his two-start profile still gives him genuine minor claims.

Was safely held at this track last start, finishing ninth and beaten over 17 lengths by Crimson Dahlia at big odds after making no headway. His Mizusawa fourth two back was more competitive, though still beaten just under six lengths by Matsurida Genkiman. Placing form at this venue gives him a small base, but the latest run leaves him with plenty to turn around.

Was never in the race when eighth at this track last start, beaten over 16 lengths by Crimson Dahlia at big odds. His fourth at Mizusawa the start prior came when near the top of betting, but he was still beaten over 10 lengths by Ryuno Jet. A ¥12.1m yearling purchase with a leading jockey aboard has some background interest, yet his exposed form must improve markedly.

Returns from a five-week let-up after a sharp first-up win at Mizusawa, where she beat Tomono Milagre by three lengths as a short odds-on favourite. She was runner-up on debut at this track and has placed in both career starts, giving her the most progressive profile in the field. The first attempt at 1600m is the query, but her turn of foot and upside make her the one to beat.

Went within a nose of winning at this track last start, closing strongly behind Yuyu Julep at long odds. That followed a solid third at Mizusawa when beaten a length and a half by Ryuno Jet, so his recent form is honest. He is still a maiden after seven starts and the 1600m is new ground, but four placings from four starts at this venue keep him in the minor-money picture.
