MORIOKA DIRT   21 May 2024
 
GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Not a lot of speed on paper which might leave Asset Muse to find the lead. YAMANIN HERMOSA (2) missed the frame two back in tougher company then last time in easier did much better when second over 1200m at this track. Rates strongly here on last start and can find winning form this time. ASSET MUSE (1) turned in a sound effort last time but found a couple better at this track over 1400m. Tatsunori Sugawara stays aboard and although yet to win has been in the money on two occasions. Should be in the finish. MADISON TESORO (7) finished out of the money when fifth over 1400m at Sonoda three-and-a-half weeks ago. Has the ability and can feature here. UVA RARA (4) improved last start but found one better over 1200m at this track. Should be further improved and is a winning hope.
