Morioka Race 12 - Race 12 - 1400
TEXAS BAROWS (5) Competitive effort when 2nd last run around here. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Toshiya Yamamoto is a suitable booking. In fine form this campaign. Live winning chance. HAPPY KARN (4) Nice run when 3rd last run around here. Putting up notable efforts this campaign. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value . RARE GRYPHON (10) Came in 6th last time around here. Has the necessary speed to overcome the wide draw. In the mix. DONA APHRODITE (1) Finished 6th last run around here but can save some energy from the draw. Should come to hand quickly. Exotics and place chance.

Was there to strike last start at this track but found little when sixth in a C2, beaten six and a half lengths behind Nasiriyah after being near the top of an open market. The run prior is the key, as she settled back and beat Hapina Star by just over a length at this venue. Proven at 1400m and aided by weight relief, she has the right profile to bounce back strongly.

Third at this track over 1000m last start was a fair return, sitting behind the leaders and working home evenly when beaten three and a half lengths at long odds. She had been well beaten the run prior after market support, so the profile is mixed. A previous win from two starts around 1400m helps, but she still shapes as an each-way hope rather than a leading chance.

Won with authority last start at this track, working into the race smoothly before putting it away quickly and beating Nishino Tomaranai by four lengths as a well-supported favourite. He had been only fair when fifth to Gold Freedom the start prior, but that latest win was a clear step forward within this campaign. From barrier three, he looks a strong winning chance if he repeats it.

Has now placed at both recent runs, most notably when third at this track last start and beaten just over a length by Na Zdravi after working home well at long odds. The previous third was more distant, but his record at this track and distance is solid with one win and two placings from three starts. That keeps him firmly in the minor-money mix.

Followed a commanding C2 win at this track with a solid second last start, beaten two and a half lengths by Nasiriyah after being sent out favourite. He had beaten Jubel Sieg by four lengths the run prior and owns a strong record at both this track and distance. Toshiya Yamamoto has two wins and a placing from three rides, so his claims remain very strong.

Dropped out badly last start at this track, finishing last and beaten over 19 lengths behind Robaria No Kiseki after settling rearward and giving ground in the run home. The start prior produced a distant third, but she was still beaten just over seven lengths. Has won at this distance and at this track, though recent form leaves plenty to repair.

Just missed at this track last start, finishing second and beaten just under a length by Na Zdravi after being sent out favourite. That followed a strong C2 win at Mizusawa, where she beat Dona Aphrodite by two and a half lengths after heavy support. The overall strike-rate is modest, but current form and the Ryo Takamatsu record give her sound place claims.

Was unwanted in the market last start and never came into the race when tenth over 1600m at this track, beaten over 15 lengths by Eyes. The run prior was similar, finishing eighth and beaten over 14 lengths after settling a long way back. He has placed six times at this track and distance, but a 71-start maiden record is a major obstacle.

Two recent thirds give him some respectability, but the margins tell the fuller story: beaten just over nine lengths last start behind Never Look Back and six and a half lengths two back behind Heroic Tale. He has long-term substance at this track and distance, and Hidetoshi Abe knows him well, yet he has to find more speed to trouble the main hopes.

Has been below market expectations at his past two, finishing sixth last start over 1200m after failing to finish off and fifth the run prior when the final effort was moderate. The return to around 1400m has some appeal given he won at his only previous try near this trip, and Tatsunori Sugawara has two wins from four rides. He profiles as a place hope with improvement available.
