Morioka Race 8 - Race 8 - 1400
TANA KIBO (3) Resuming after a break. In the money when 3rd last start at this track. Ryou Takamatsu has been successful previously. Goes very close. MOZU HOMMADEKKA (4) Finished 5th last start around here. Likely to get back. Can win. ANIMAL QUEEN (9) Disappointing run when 8th last run here. Masatoshi Yamamoto is a key engagement. Will be giving the leaders a big start. Among better hopes. NEW WALK (10) Finished 4th last run here. Consider an each way bet.

Worked forward and faded when eighth behind Wanaka over 1200m at this track last start, beaten just over seven lengths at generous odds. The start prior she was sixth in a C1 over 1000m, also at this venue, after giving away a big start and only holding her ground late. Her three wins and three placings from twelve starts at this track and distance keep her in the place mix, but recent form leaves her short of the main winning hopes.

Has finished seventh at Morioka at his past two starts, most recently beaten just over nine lengths by L'Arlesienne over 1600m after being unwanted in the market. He was closer when five lengths from El Professor over 1700m the run prior, though he settled handy and did not quicken. The return to around 1400m is the key positive, where he has three wins and two placings, so he can improve enough to chase a placing.

Returns from a four-month spell after finishing last campaign in consistently strong form, most recently third at this track when beaten a length and a half by Sei Sequence after being run down late. He had been pipped by Gion Princess the start prior and has placed nine times from eleven starts in the past 12 months. Proven at this track and distance, with Ryo Takamatsu a regular winning partner, he sets the standard fresh.

Lifted last start when fifth behind Wanaka over 1200m at this track, beaten four lengths after picking up well from the back half. That was a better pointer than her second-last over 1600m the start prior, when she never worked into the race. She has a win from three starts at this track and distance and rates well on recent form, giving her a strong chance if she reproduces the latest effort.

Was second last behind Early Leg over 1600m at this track last start, beaten over 11 lengths after weakening through the line. Her seventh to Laphetye the start prior was also only fair, with the market offering little confidence either time. She remains unplaced in nine starts at this venue and in five at the distance, so a sharp form turnaround is required to trouble these.

Was sixth behind Wanaka over 1200m at this track last start, beaten just under six lengths and unwanted in the market, with no obvious excuse in the run home. Two back he gave away a huge start over 1000m and was never a factor behind Fortes despite being near the top of an open market. His career record is sound enough for a minor hope, but he must finish off with more purpose.

Finished eighth in a C3C4 at Mombetsu last start, beaten over 12 lengths by King's Message after settling back and making no impression. That followed a distant last over 1800m, when he dropped right out after being unwanted in the market. The class drop is a small help, but he remains winless from 22 starts and has plenty to find at his first run at this venue.

Finished sixth behind Vivid Moon over 1600m at this track last start, beaten just under eight lengths at long odds after failing to make headway. The start prior she was ninth behind Laphetye, again from well back and unable to make an impact. A return to 1400m gives some context, but she is unplaced in all eleven starts this season and will have to lift substantially.

Made no late impression when eighth behind Early Leg over 1600m at this track last start, beaten nine and a half lengths at generous odds. Her previous fifth at Mizusawa had more merit, as she came from a hopeless position and finished strongly. The return of Masatoshi Yamamoto is important, with two wins and five placings from ten rides, making her a credible place chance if she rebounds.

Produced one of the better recent runs in the field when fourth behind Wanaka over 1200m at this track, beaten three and a half lengths after picking up well. She had been safely held by Never Ever the start prior, but the latest effort put her ahead of Mozu Hommadekka in a relevant matchup. With two wins and six placings around 1400m, she has the profile to be right in the winning argument.
