Morioka Race 5 - Race 5 - 1200
HAPPINESS DREAM (3) Close up last start here. Has plenty of early speed. Hard to overlook. HO O LEVAIN (5) Backing up quickly. Disappointing display when 8th last time at the track. Jockey Toshiya Yamamoto adds value. Has good finishing speed. Suitably placed in this race. KHAFRA (9) In the money when 2nd last run around here. Shows very good finishing speed. A win wouldn't surprise. REINE DES ETOILES (6) First up and finished 3rd first up last preparation at Mizusawa. Down in trip. Looks to have a good chance of placing.

Placed at both recent runs at this track, but the margins leave him with work to do. He was third to Black Apis last start, beaten just under five lengths after enjoying the right run and only battling home, following a third to Montoya when beaten just over eight lengths. The quick back-up suits, yet 18 starts around 1200m without a win keeps him a rougher hope.

Showed more last start when fourth to Black Apis at this track, beaten five lengths after leading and working home evenly at long odds. That was a clear step back towards relevance after finishing second last to Venus Kic the start prior, beaten over 12 lengths. She remains a maiden with one placing from six starts around 1200m, so the case is more for minor money than a confident winning push.

Went within a neck of breaking through at this track last start, giving a sight before Montoya ran her down late. That followed another second here behind Wonder Valuence, and she has been near the top of betting at both runs this campaign. Two placings from two starts at the distance and a strong jockey pairing give her the most reliable recent profile in the race.

Worked home fairly from well back when fifth to Black Apis last start, but she was still beaten seven lengths and never looked a winning threat. The previous fourth behind Kung Fu Hero was similar, again beaten seven lengths after settling rearward. A prior win at this track is the main positive, but her current figures say she must find more to trouble the main chances.

Safely held as second last to Ajaib last start, beaten over 10 lengths after being near the top of betting, so that run has to be treated with caution. His start prior was much better, closing strongly for third behind Kung Fu Hero, and his record around 1200m includes two wins and three placings. With the top-ranked track jockey aboard, he can rebound into the main chances.

Returns from a three-month break with proven track-and-distance credentials, which is the key to her chance. She was last seen finishing sixth to El Professor in a B2 at Morioka, beaten six lengths and unwanted in the market, after being run down late when sixth at this venue behind Nocturnality. Her past year form is thin, but the venue profile gives her a realistic place case fresh.

Has been beaten over 16 lengths at both recent Morioka runs, finishing second last to Mozu Maverick last start after again starting at huge odds. She does drop out of COND company and her overall record is better than the current form suggests, but the latest efforts offered very little late. A return to 1200m may suit more, yet others bring stronger current claims.

Carries only 52kg, but recent form still asks plenty. She was ninth to Black Apis last start, beaten over 11 lengths and unwanted in the market, after a fourth to Montoya when beaten nine and a half lengths at big odds. With no placings from 12 starts at this track and distance, she profiles as an outside place hope only if she improves sharply.

Has filled second at his past two starts, which keeps him in the mix, but the latest placing came with a clear reservation after he was beaten a long way by Just Cute at this track. His Mizusawa second to Taisei Gigas was also sound without ever worrying the winner. Still lightly raced and placed at his only distance attempt, he looks a genuine place hope rather than a dominant winning option.

Recent form is hard to recommend, with a sixth to Venus Kic last start beaten over 10 lengths after settling miles back and making no impression. He was eighth behind Kung Fu Hero the run prior, beaten over 12 lengths at big odds. Still a maiden after 23 starts and unplaced in five track-and-distance attempts, he has to produce a much sharper finish.

Improved sharply last start when sixth to Ajaib at this track, beaten just over two lengths, and that was a much stronger piece of recent form than her last behind Meisho Tadatsugu over 1400m the run prior. She remains winless from 28 starts around 1200m, but has placed three times at the trip and beat Ho O Levain last week. That latest run makes her a serious player.
