Morioka Race 1 - Race 1 - 1400
SUPER HIGHWAY (1) Honest race when 2nd last time at the track and can save some energy from the barrier. Likely to be well placed early. Suitably placed in this race. OPPIPOIKA (5) Finished 4th last time at this track. Has the potential to improve sharply. Has early speed and positions nicely. Respect. OZ MAP (3) On a quick turnaround. Unsatisfactory performance when 10th last start at this track. Should be going forward early. Has claims. TAIKI COURAGE (4) Back from a break. Finished 6th last time here. Is capable of a resurgence. Should get going late. Should go close

Has built a solid run of placings, finishing second at this track last start when beaten two and a half lengths by Iris Aster after looming and fighting on. He had also run second at Mizusawa, but again as a well-supported favourite and six lengths from Hapina Star. The 1400m suits and he has placed in both starts at this venue, though his maiden record keeps him in the place bracket.

Produced the winning form this field has to respect, tracking the leader into the straight before beating Gille Chaluim by a head at this track last start. That was a sharp answer to his previous seventh when he gave away a huge start and was never in the race. He is already a track-and-trip winner, reunites with the successful rider, and looks well placed to go on with it.

Backs up after six days following a second-last finish at this track, beaten over 14 lengths by Escarcha when she had the job ahead and was never a winning hope. Her start prior was no better, finishing last and well beaten after being near the top of betting. Third-up fitness is some help, but she is out of form and has to show a marked turnaround.

Resumes after a three-month break with a strong 1400m profile to recommend him. He ended last campaign with a sixth in B2 grade at this track, beaten just under six lengths by Aile Plaisir, after a seventh to Yamanin Lirio when not far away in margin terms. His record at this distance is a genuine asset, and the return of Masatoshi Yamamoto keeps him firmly in calculations.

Caught the eye late at this track last start when fourth behind Lively Pure, though the margin was still eight and a half lengths. He had earlier finished a distant last over 1200m, so the recent form is not as clean as the figures suggest. Third-up fitness helps and he has won at this venue, making him a realistic minor hope rather than a confident winning selection.

Returns on a one-week back-up after running third at this track, but he was beaten ten lengths by Massive Shot at long odds and only worked home evenly. The start prior was a seventh, beaten just over eight lengths, again from a big price. His long 1400m record is respectable, yet the recent margins leave him with plenty to find.

Has been safely held at her past two starts, finishing seventh at this track last start when beaten over 10 lengths by Noble Brow after conceding a huge start. Two back she was second last in B1 company at Morioka and beaten over 13 lengths while unwanted in the market. A few old stats offer minor comfort, but current form points elsewhere.
