Morioka Race 2 - Race 2 - 1000
MAY JOSHUA (7) On a short turnaround. Was very impressive when winning by a margin of 10L last start at this track and form has been improving over recent runs. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value . PODEROSA (6) Spaced the field to win by a margin of 5L last start at this track. Will be positive in the run early. Must be considered. IDIOM (8) Finished 2nd last run at this venue. Has a nice turn of foot. Right in this. OK SMILE (12) Racing on a quick back up. Honest race when 2nd last run around here on a heavy rated track. Has good closing speed. Can threaten if right today.

Produced a more competitive fifth at this track last start, beaten four and a half lengths after settling rearward, but she was among the outsiders and did not threaten the winner. She had run third to Poderosa a week earlier, though beaten nine lengths. Proven at this track and distance, yet the winning case still looks thin.

Was beaten a long way when last of 11 at this track over 1400m last start, fading late after starting big odds. The Mizusawa run prior was more respectable, making some ground for fifth, but he was still beaten six lengths and unwanted in betting. His track record is a positive, though sharp improvement is required.

Kept on from the rear when sixth at this track last start, beaten six lengths at long odds, after a fourth here the start prior when still nine and a half lengths from Shigeru Alegria. The weight relief helps and she has won around 1000m, but her record at this track and distance remains a concern.

Went close at this track last start, finishing third and beaten a length and a half after being run down late. That was a clear lift on the prior fifth behind Poderosa, where she made some ground but was beaten over 12 lengths. Still searching for a win at this venue, but that latest run gives her a genuine place profile.

Comes off a commanding win at this track, leading and scoring by five lengths as a dominant favourite at a very short odds-on quote. The run prior was a brave third over 1400m, beaten just over a length, so the form is well established. Two from two at 1000m and third-up now, she has the right profile to repeat.

Bolted in at this track last start, winning by ten lengths after being heavily supported into very short odds-on territory. That followed a narrow second over 1200m when sent out favourite and just run down late, so her form line is highly reliable. The quick turnaround is the small query, but the last-start win makes her a major threat.

Has filled second at his past two starts at this track, most recently beaten two and a half lengths by Shigeru Alegria after travelling well but only battling on. He was also runner-up to O K Smile when favourite the run before. His track-and-distance record is solid, although he looks more reliable for a place than a win.

Recent form has tapered off, with a seventh at this track last start when beaten over 12 lengths at big odds and only battling from the turn. She was also tenth over 1400m the run prior, beaten seven lengths. Her track-and-distance record reads well, but current form leaves her with too much to repair.

Drops sharply from B1 and B2 company, but the recent performances make that hard to trust on its own. She was tenth at Morioka last start, beaten over 20 lengths, after finishing second last there the run before at long odds. First try around 1000m adds another question, so she appeals only as a risky place hope.

Broke through strongly at this track last start, scoring by four lengths as an odds-on favourite and putting the race away with authority. The start prior was also good, second over 1200m after being unwanted in the market and just run down late. With the winning rider staying aboard, she is clearly one of the main hopes.

Continued her consistent form with a second at this track last start, beaten two and a half lengths after working home well into the placings. She had won here the start prior by four lengths from Idiom when near the top of betting. The wide draw is not ideal, but her recent record is strong enough to keep her in the finish.
