Morioka Race 10 - Race 10 - 1400
AINO VALKYRIE (5) First up and did well when 3rd first up last preparation at Mizusawa. Likely to be well placed early. Key player. SUZHOU PRINCESS (6) Shot clear to win by a distance last run here. Can't knock the form winning 2 on the bounce. Shinobu Murakami and Chiba Kouki work well together. Can give this a shake. ENERGY ISSEI (1) Nice effort when winning by 2 1/2L last time here and drawn beautifully. Maintaining a perfect record the last 2 runs. Has shown early pace in races to date. Deserves consideration. LIVELY PURE (10) Was dominant when winning by 7L last run around here. Unbeaten last 2 starts. Shows very good finishing speed. Good prospects.

Completed back-to-back wins at this track last start, kicking clear in C2 grade over 1400m and beating Ailes Vague by two and a half lengths after being near the top of betting. The start prior she led and won by six lengths over 1200m, so the form has real momentum. Barrier one suits her pattern, and two wins from two with Ryo Takamatsu adds further confidence. She looks a serious winning chance again.

Worked into a good position last start and was beaten just over a length when fourth behind Na Zdravi at this track, after being near the top of betting. The concern is that he had his chance and did not quite finish it off, while the run prior was a well-beaten fourth after settling back. He does have a win from three starts around 1400m and strikes this fourth-up, so his best effort puts him right in the contest.

Second-up after finishing ninth at this track over 1600m last start, beaten over 14 lengths at long odds after settling a long way back and making no impact. His previous run at Mizusawa was also only fair, with another sizeable margin. The 1400m record is much better on paper, but recent form leaves him with a fair amount to find.

Has been safely held at his past two, finishing second last at this track most recently when beaten over 19 lengths after never making headway. The run prior was similar, with another second-last finish and a margin beyond 16 lengths after being unwanted in the market. He has placed three times from six starts at this track and distance, but current form is hard to recommend.

Returns from a six-month break after finishing fifth at Mizusawa in B2 company, beaten just over four lengths when she loomed but could not go on with it. She had earlier placed third at this track, though that was a beaten nine lengths. Six placings from eight starts shows she is genuine enough, but the absence and lack of a win leave her more as a place hope if forward enough.

Made it two straight wins at this track with a dominant C2 success over 1200m last start, beating Glace A La Vanille by a long way as a prohibitive odds-on favourite. She had also won by three lengths the start prior, extending in good style as favourite. The rise back to 1400m asks a question after one unplaced try around this trip, but her current form is clearly the strongest winning profile.

Finished fifth behind Na Zdravi at this track last start, beaten just over eight lengths after settling just off the lead. That was better than his prior ninth, but he was still safely held and had been unwanted in the market. His long career record is solid and he has plenty of 1400m experience, yet recent figures leave him behind the key chances.

Broke through at this track last start in C2 grade, winning by just under a length over 1000m after travelling well despite being back around the turn. That followed a third when beaten nine and a half lengths at big odds, so the form is mixed rather than dominant. He has placed twice from three starts at this track and distance, which gives him credible minor-money claims.

Ran second at this track last start, beaten seven lengths by Fornacalia after giving away ground but passing a few late to get into the money. His previous fourth was sounder from a margin perspective, beaten three lengths after being near the top of betting. With two wins and four places from eight starts at this venue, he can be around the minor money again.

Put together consecutive wins at this track, most recently scoring by seven lengths in C2 grade after looming up and putting the race away as a short odds-on favourite. The start prior she fought hard over 1200m and was also well found in betting. She is one from one at 1400m and comes here race fit, so the form commands respect even if others rate slightly higher.
