Morioka Race 4 - Race 4 - 1200
IKOMIKIMARU (2) On a quick back up. Tidy effort when 2nd last time at this venue and gets a favourable draw. Possesses very good closing speed. Winnable race. BRIGHTIA ROAD (9) On a quick back up. Ran well when 2nd last time at this track. Will be hitting the line strongly. Worth a ticket. NOBO KISEKI (10) Ran 5th last start around here. Should improve. Respect against this field. MATRICARIA (7) On a short turnaround. Ran 6th last run around here. Should race on the speed. Has to be included.

Has been well below the required level at his past two runs, finishing last and well beaten by Montoya at this track after being unwanted in the market. The start prior was no better, when he was tailed off at big odds behind Lauter Jubel. His overall record contains four wins, but he has no placings from ten tries around 1200m and recent form is hard to recommend.

Comes in third-up with two placings from as many starts at both this track and the distance, which gives him a reliable base in this field. He was second to Filet Le Reve last start, beaten six lengths after working home evenly, and had run third behind Energy Issei the start prior. The quick back-up is the only small reservation, but his consistency this campaign gives him a strong winning case.

Has offered little in recent starts, finishing seventh at this track last time when beaten over 15 lengths and sent around at big odds. The run before was a long-way last over 1400m after settling miles back and failing to improve. She remains unplaced in all 15 career starts, including eight at this track and distance, so a sharp turnaround is required.

Worked home well for fourth behind Slay Queen at this track last start, and while the margin was over 12 lengths, the effort was one of the stronger recent profiles in this line-up. He had been sent out favourite when fifth to Glorious Dance the run prior, beaten just over five lengths. The maiden record is the query after ten starts, but his current ratings and Ryo Takamatsu riding keep him right in the winning mix.

Backs up quickly, but recent form gives her plenty to do after finishing last and well held behind Filet Le Reve at this track last week. She was also beaten a long way by Lauter Jubel the start prior after settling rearward and weakening late. Her long 1200m record includes only one win from 56 starts, and she was also beaten by Ikomikimaru last week, so improvement has to be substantial.

Carries only 52kg, but that is not enough to offset two plain recent runs. She finished last behind Black Apis last start when beaten over 17 lengths after fading late, and was ninth behind Lauter Jubel the run before after making no impression from back in the field. With just one placing from 13 starts, she has to find a far stronger finish to threaten.

Backs up quickly and has been around the minor money without quite producing a winning finish. She was sixth behind Black Apis last start, beaten seven and a half lengths after settling rearward, and had been fifth to Venus Kic the week before. Two placings from eight starts at this track and distance give her some grounding, but her 16-start maiden record keeps the assessment to place claims.

Lifted to run second behind Fuji Tenku at this track last week, albeit beaten five lengths and unwanted in the market after only battling on. His previous run was a ninth behind Cosmo Mayweather, beaten just under nine lengths, so there is still a question over whether he can repeat the latest effort. The 52kg helps, but one placing from 22 starts points more to minor-money claims.

Hit back sharply third-up when second to Honey Amber at this track last week, beaten four lengths after travelling behind the leader and fighting on. She was near the top of betting there, a clear contrast to her big-odds last in a Mdn at Nakayama the start prior. The quick back-up is noted, but she has placed at both this venue and the distance and brings the strongest recent platform to convert.

Settled handy and finished fifth behind Montoya at this track last start, beaten over 10 lengths after being near the top of an open market. That was more competitive in the run than her previous fourth behind Just Cute, where she was beaten out of sight after settling rearward. The leading-trainer angle helps, but she is unplaced from seven tries at this track and distance, so the win case is limited.
