MORIOKA DIRT   13 May 2025
 
GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Not much early speed of note and Grace Chocolat and M O Glitter may find themselves setting a steady tempo. M O GLITTER (8) improved last time out, finishing 1.75 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1400m at Mizusawa after being in contention on the bend. Likely improver with strong prospects. SEZAN DIVA (1) strode forward early from her wide draw to settle just off the lead last start then lifted to score by 0.8 lengths at this track over 1200m. Will go forward and should be in the finish again. TIMING HEART (5) finished out of the money two starts back then he was never in contention and was beaten 7 lengths when seventh over 1200m at this track nine days ago. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. MARUKA FRONTALE (4) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fifth at this track over 1400m. Placed to advantage so expect a better run this time.
