Morioka Race 9 - Race 9 - 1600
YUYU CORAZON (3) Did well when 2nd last time at this track. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Running with confidence this preparation. Jockey Shion Sasaki has been successful before. Looks promising in this race. MEINER ASTORIA (10) Nice run when 2nd last run at this track. Toshiya Yamamoto is a plus. Has the speed to overcome the wide alley. Can win this. RERAITAM (7) Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last run here. Likely to be well placed early. Respect. AZTLAN (9) Came in 4th last run at the track. Can go through the gears. Must come into consideration.

Was never in the picture last start in a C2 over 1400m at this track, finishing last and beaten over 14 lengths after giving away a big start in the lane. The start prior was better in shape, making ground for fourth, but he was still beaten over 11 lengths. His 1600m record is sound and Tatsunori Sugawara has won three times on him, so a placing is not beyond reach if he rebounds sharply.

Placed last start at this track, but the margin was still seven and a half lengths and he was unwanted in the market. The run prior was a fifth beaten over 14 lengths, so the recent figures read softer than the form string suggests. He has placed four times at this distance and owns a fair track record, yet he will have to find more to trouble the better chances.

Brings genuine consistency, having finished second at both recent 1400m runs at this track. Last start he was poised to strike before tiring late, beaten eight lengths by Never Look Back, while his previous second as favourite was stronger when beaten two and a half lengths by Star Admiral. Four wins and three placings from eleven starts at this track and distance make him a major player.

Failed to come into the race when seventh at this track last start, beaten over 13 lengths, and there was no obvious excuse in the run. His previous fifth in B1 grade at Morioka had more merit, as he made ground late and was beaten just under six lengths. Even so, he is unplaced from two starts at this venue and has only one placing from seven at the distance, leaving him with plenty to do.

Worked into fourth at this track last start, beaten eight and a half lengths by Eyes, which was an improvement on his ninth the run prior when beaten over 15 lengths. The recent margins still leave a question, but his wider 1600m record is respectable and he has placed four times from eight starts at this track and distance. Profiles as a place hope rather than a dominant winning chance.

Hit the line well for second over 1200m at this track last start, beaten three lengths by Robaria No Kiseki after having work to do. She had also charged home from well back over 1000m the start prior when fourth at long odds. That closing pattern is encouraging, although she is yet to place in three starts at this track and distance, so she shapes as a genuine place prospect.

Resumed with a solid third at this track, beaten six lengths by Yakujo, and now has the benefit of that first-up run. He lacked the turn of foot to win there, but his overall profile is much stronger than that single margin suggests: three wins and three placings from ten starts at this track and distance, plus three wins with Yuri Takahashi aboard. Second-up, he has the right credentials to take beating.

Has been well held at both recent starts, finishing tenth at this track last time when beaten just over seven lengths at big odds. The start prior was weaker again, second last and beaten over 14 lengths after settling back. He has won at this track and distance before, but the current form is hard to recommend and Aztlan had his measure a couple of weeks ago.

Worked home fairly for fourth at this track last start, beaten two and a half lengths by Gabby's D'Etoile, and that followed a head defeat here at big odds. His winning strike rate is modest, but one win and five placings from seven starts at this venue is a strong grounding for this assignment. The 1600m record is the one reservation, though recent form keeps him right in the winning discussion.

Finished second at this track last start, beaten five lengths by Eyes, but the run lacked a winning punch after he had the drop on the leaders. He was also beaten just under nine lengths the start prior after being near the top of betting, and Aztlan has already finished ahead of him this campaign. The rider and track-distance records are excellent, yet the recent level leaves him short of the main hopes.
