Morioka Race 9 - Race 9 - 1400
MARGOT FESTA (10) Came in 7th last start here. Should improve. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. PURE JASMINE (3) Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last time here. Has early speed and positions nicely. Strong chance. FORTE LIEN (7) Finished 4th last start at Mizusawa. Shinobu Murakami and Chiba Kouki are a strong duo. Respect in this event. CHIC SEIN (11) Average performance when 8th last run at the track. Will give a big sight.

Has been safely held at her past two runs, finishing seventh at this track last start when beaten nine and a half lengths by Juno Vert after always having the job ahead. She was also seventh behind Terute start prior, beaten over 11 lengths after offering little late. Barrier one and a sound track-and-distance history help, but she has to lift sharply on recent figures.

Dropped out to finish last behind Hecto Princess at this track last start, beaten over 12 lengths after conceding a huge start and never getting into the race. His fifth behind Terute start prior was only fair and came at big odds. Two wins from five starts at this track and distance are a genuine positive, but recent form leaves him with plenty to turn around.

Turned her form around with a solid second at this track last start in C1 company, beaten four lengths by Exercise after having work to do and keeping on strongly enough to hold a placing. The Mizusawa run prior was poor, but she has a strong overall place profile and gets a favourable class setup here. With the best recent form in the race, she sets the standard to beat.

Was unwanted in the market when sixth behind Al Shanti at this track last start, beaten just under six lengths after settling back. His previous fifth behind Fortes had more merit, as he picked up well from midfield, but he remains unplaced from three runs at this venue. A placed distance record is some help, though others bring stronger current credentials.

Could only finish sixth behind Hecto Princess at this track last start, beaten six and a half lengths after settling rearward at long odds. His third behind Never Ever start prior was better, working home evenly when beaten four lengths despite being unwanted in the market. The return from 1600m may help, but he profiles more as a place hope than a clear winning threat.

Has been well beaten at both recent runs, finishing second last behind Hecto Princess at this track last start after travelling as though he could play a part but offering little. He was also eighth behind Terute start prior, beaten over 11 lengths. His track-and-distance record and proven jockey pairing read well, but current form is the major stumbling block.

Returns from a six-week freshening after a sound fourth at Mizusawa, beaten just under four lengths by Sakura Mau over 1600m at generous odds. She had earlier worked home okay for third behind A Qui Mieux Mieux, again over 1600m. The stable has a strong local profile, though she is unplaced from six starts at this track and distance, so a placing looks the fairer target.

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending his last campaign with two second-last finishes in C1 races at this track, the latest when leading before fading behind Dancing Fight. That recent form is a concern, but his broader profile is stronger than those runs suggest: three wins and one place from ten starts this season, solid past-12-month figures and four wins around 1400m. Fresh, he can bounce back strongly.

Has struggled in two runs this campaign, finishing ninth behind Al Shanti at this track last start after racing just off the pace and only battling. That followed a second-last behind Montsaint Il Vento when she dropped right out. She is third-up and has placed three times from three starts at the distance, but recent efforts leave a clear improvement task.

Was well enough found near the top of an open market last start but faded to seventh behind Montsaint Il Vento over 1600m at this track, beaten just under six lengths. His prior fifth at Mizusawa came at big odds, yet the return to 1400m suits his profile, with one win and one place from three starts at this track and distance. That record keeps him right in contention.

Worked home evenly when eighth behind Al Shanti at this track last start over 1200m, beaten six and a half lengths, so the latest was short of his better level. The start prior was stronger, finishing third behind Terute and beaten two lengths at generous odds. With six wins and five placings from 21 starts around 1400m, he has the right distance base to rebound into the placings.
