MORIOKA DIRT   02 Nov 2025
 
GOING:

Race 10 1600m

Track:      

Good tempo expected with Keep On Top, Indie Film and Mitsukane Taurus rolling forward. INDIE FILM (7) has switched yards since finishing ninth five weeks ago over 1900m at Mizusawa. Will relish returning to a track where she has recorded a win and a placing from two attempts. Rates highly and expected to go close. KEEP ON TOP (3) went fast early and went on to score by half a length last time out over 1400m at this track. Should settle handy in the run. Has his share of ability and could be hard to beat in another suitable race. CLARITY (5) showed good early dash and led throughout to score by a neck last time out over 1400m at this track. Likely to be thereabouts. SPADE GUINEA (11) finished second last time over 1600m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Has top-three claims.
