Morioka Race 5 - Race 5 - 1400
SWATOW (7) Tidy run when 2nd last run at this venue. Possesses good closing speed. Serious contender. COSMO MAYWEATHER (5) On a short back up. Ran 7th last run at the track. Should improve from the last run. Worth strong consideration. EXCEPTION (6) Racing on a quick back up. Only fair when 9th last run around here. Has a great burst of speed late. Can win. KITANO SHION (10) Honest race when 3rd last run here. Has the early speed to burn across from the wide draw. Not without claims.

Latest two runs have been plain, finishing eighth behind Slay Queen last start after conceding a big start and never getting into the race. The start prior was much the same, ninth behind Dona Aphrodite and beaten over 16 lengths after being unwanted in the market. One win from 55 starts and no placing from five tries at this track and distance leave him with plenty to find.

Worked into a better result last start when fourth behind Energy Issei at this track, beaten just over four lengths after settling rearward at long odds. The run prior was much less convincing, fifth behind Texas Barows and beaten over 14 lengths after giving away too much start. He has enough 1400m placing form to be a minor hope, but the winning edge remains the query.

Second-up now after finishing fifth in a COND over 1600m at Morioka, where he was unwanted in the market but battled on soundly behind Mozu Maverick. He had also run fifth in COND grade over 1700m before the break. The class drop, proven record at this track and distance, and Tatsunori Sugawara's winning association all point to a sharper showing.

Showed some improvement last start when fifth behind Lively Pure at this track, coming from a long way back for a decent finish though still beaten ten lengths. That followed a second-last behind Gold Freedom when beaten over 19 lengths at long odds. Third-up fitness helps and his overall place record is fair, but he looks more a wider place chance than a likely winner.

Has to be assessed on both sides of the ledger after finishing seventh behind Escarcha here five days ago, beaten over 12 lengths after giving himself too much to do. The counterpoint is his previous win over 1200m at this track, where he quickened strongly to beat Mauriat by just over a length. His 1400m record is still unproven, but the recent win keeps him in the place mix.

Recent form reads poorly despite some favourable setup notes, with a ninth behind Escarcha last start after conceding a huge start and a sixth behind Slay Queen the run before. He has won at this track and distance and reunites with a rider who has won on him, so there is some historical support. Current form is the issue, and he must finish off far better to threaten.

Comes through the strongest recent form, finishing second to M T Top at this track when beaten two and a half lengths as an odds-on favourite. She had been pipped at the post over 1200m the run before and has now strung together consistent placings. The maiden record is a caution, but her current form, track record and recent edge over Kitano Shion make her the horse to beat.

Has been safely held at his past two starts, finishing sixth behind Lively Pure last time when beaten over 10 lengths at big odds. The start prior was another clear defeat, ninth behind Gold Freedom and beaten over 16 lengths after being unwanted in the market. Still winless from 21 starts and unplaced in four at this track and distance, he has a difficult task.

Backs up after finishing fifth behind Massive Shot at this track last week, where the margin was over 13 lengths despite some fair late work and market respect. Two back he was ninth in B1 company at Morioka, beaten over 16 lengths after settling a long way out of play. The quick return may help, but his recent figures still leave him short of the main chances.

Improved into third behind M T Top at this track last start, beaten two and a half lengths after starting among the outsiders and working home evenly. Her previous fourth over 1200m was better than the margin suggests, as she made up ground late from an unpromising spot. Swatow holds the recent head-to-head edge, but her track placings keep her a serious winning danger.

Current form is hard to support after finishing second last behind Slay Queen at this track, beaten over 15 lengths when never likely. The start prior was another safely held effort, eighth behind Dona Aphrodite and beaten over 11 lengths at big odds. With no win from 46 starts and recent runs offering little, she will have to improve markedly.
