Morioka Race 3 - Race 3 - 1400
M T TOP (4) Got the prize when winning by 2 1/2L last time here and form has been improving over recent runs. Shows good early pace. Strong hope. EXPECTANT (2) Did well when 2nd last run at the track and has a positive barrier. Ryou Takamatsu and Yoshinori Itagaki must be respected when they team up. Capable of forward showing and can be competitive. VENUS KIC (1) Handy enough when winning by 2L last time at the track and can save some energy from the barrier. Genuine winning chance. BOBBINET (5) Came in 6th last run around here. Can make a comeback. Has shown early pace in races to date. Won't be far away.

Bounced back sharply at this track last start, winning by two lengths from Kamino Top One after holding a clear margin throughout. That was a much stronger effort than her fifth to Kung Fu Hero six days earlier, when she loomed and failed to go on after being unwanted in the market. The light weight and race fitness help, and she has done enough recently to be treated as a genuine winning chance.

Improved into second at this track last start, albeit beaten five lengths by Slay Queen after being among the outsiders. His previous fifth to Matsurida Sirius had some merit in the way he picked up in the straight, but he remains winless from twelve starts. The jockey pairing has produced two placings from four, so he profiles as a sound place hope rather than a clear winning selection.

Has been badly out of form, finishing last at this track last start when beaten over 12 lengths by Fez Kazuma after conceding a huge start. That followed another last in C1 company behind Bee Stunning, where he was well beaten after fading late. He has a prior win around 1400m, but recent evidence makes him only a rough hope if he can turn things around quickly.

Comes in off the right performance, winning at this track last start by two and a half lengths from Swatow while near the top of betting. She had also been solid when third to Nobori Smile the start prior, so the form pattern is reliable. A winner at this venue and well proven at 1400m, she carries only 50kg and presents as the horse they all have to beat.

Drops out of C1 company after finishing sixth at this track last start, beaten over 15 lengths by Never Look Back after settling rearward and making no impact. The start prior was no better, finishing second last behind Star Admiral despite getting into the right spot. Her track-and-distance place record offers a small positive, but she must lift sharply to be a threat.

Continues to race below the level required, finishing seventh at this track last start and beaten over 19 lengths by Panorama Stage after never getting into the race. She was also seventh in C1 grade behind Fornacalia the run prior, beaten over 13 lengths after failing to quicken. The jockey and trainer profile is a plus, but the recent margins demand a major turnaround.

Backs up quickly after finishing sixth at this track last start, beaten over 15 lengths by Panorama Stage, though she did work home fairly from a long way back. Her fourth to Noble Brow the start prior reads better, with the margin just over five lengths despite being sent out at long odds. She is not a strong winning proposition, but has enough honest recent work to press for a placing.

Recent form leaves him with a fair task, having finished ninth at this track last start when well held behind Panorama Stage at long odds. He had been sixth in C1 grade behind Fornacalia the run prior, beaten over 12 lengths after only battling from just off the speed. He has won at this venue in the past, but current form makes others far more appealing.
