MORIOKA DIRT   05 May 2024
 
GOING:

Race 10 1600m

Track:      

Concarneau to take charge ahead of Camp Fire at a strong tempo. ROMANCE AUTHOR (9) returns from a break of seven months. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a sixth over 1200m at Ohi. Expected to bring the good form from last campaign to this contest. PLEASANT LONDON (7) booted up from the inside draw to race on the speed only to be claimed late and finish 5.5 lengths away in fourth last start over 1600m at Mizusawa. Will go forward and is expected to be in the finish. CAMP FIRE (10) held on well to finish second last start over 850m at Mizusawa, beaten half a length. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot take this out. CONCARNEAU (6) is ready to break through after collecting her 4th minor placing in a row last time over 1600m at Mizusawa. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
