Morioka Race 11 - Race 11 - 1600
NA ZDRAVI (7) Landed the spoils when winning by 3/4L last run at this venue and showing improvement in recent outings. Can get the job done. HEROIC TALE (8) Left nothing to chance when winning by 2 1/2L last time at this track. Been in the money 3 from 3 attempts this campaign. This field suits. RONDINE (2) Average performance when 12th last time at this track but can find a nice position from the draw. Good to see Ryou Takamatsu is jumping on. Expect to go close. EXCELLENT MAN (3) Ran 5th last time at this track. Will be hitting the line strongly. Don't overlook as is capable of a big run.

Second-up after a fair fifth in a B2 at this track, where he settled prominently and faded late to be beaten six and a half lengths by Early Leg. His prior third behind Sakura Top Run was sound enough, and the drop into C1 grade helps. Proven many times around 1600m and drawn to hold a handy spot, he profiles as a genuine place chance rather than the clear one to beat.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing last in a B2 at this track, beaten just under eight lengths at big odds and unable to build a challenge. Her previous fifth at Mizusawa was also a long way from the winner, so the recent form is plain. The class drop and strong track record are positives, but she has to find a sharper finish to trouble these.

Returns from a five-week freshening after closing from well back for fifth in a B2 at this track, beaten just under three lengths by Laphetye at generous odds. That followed a charging Mizusawa win over Akai Tsume, so the current form has substance. He has won at this track and trip, but his rearward pattern means he will be relying on the race opening up late.

Has been well beaten in two recent B4 runs at Mombetsu, finishing second last to Macalas over 1000m before a ninth behind Cilantro, beaten over 13 lengths. She does return to a distance range where she has won before, but the recent efforts came with little market confidence and no clear excuse. A major form turnaround is required.

Has an excellent profile at this venue, with three wins from four starts here and three wins from five rides with Toshiya Yamamoto. Last start was a clear miss when ninth, beaten over 17 lengths after leading, so she must rebound from that. The run prior was a head win as a prohibitive odds-on favourite, and her overall record gives her a strong winning case if she returns to that standard.

Has been safely held in consecutive B2 runs at this track, finishing ninth to Early Leg after giving away too much start, then tenth behind Laphetye at big odds. The class drop is some help and his broader career record is respectable, but he is unplaced in six attempts at this track and distance. Recent figures leave him with too much to find.

Comes off a determined win over 1400m at this track, beating Twin Biscuits by just under a length after racing right on the result at the business end. That followed a head second as a well-supported favourite, so her recent form is the most reliable in the race. The first try around 1600m is a query, but two wins and three places from six starts at this venue make her the one to beat.

Arrives in strong form after putting away a 1400m field at this track by two and a half lengths as a short odds-on favourite, showing a decisive turn of foot. He had earlier gone under by only a head at Mizusawa in C2 grade when also heavily backed. Now fourth-up, with two wins and one placing from three rides under Shinobu Murakami, he stands out as a major winning threat.

Was fourth at this track last start but beaten over 13 lengths by Yakujo after settling rearward, so that result needs context rather than enthusiasm. His start prior was much better, a neck second to Sakura Kaze when near the top of an open market, and he beat Kitanolesclefsd'Or a couple of weeks ago. Honest enough for a minor placing if he reproduces that better run.

Last start was below his better form, finishing eighth in a B2 at this track and beaten over 10 lengths after giving away too much start. The run prior had more merit when third over 1400m, and he now drops in grade with weight relief. His record here is more place-heavy than winning, but that set-up keeps him in the minor-money conversation.
