MORIOKA DIRT   28 Jun 2026
 
GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

Strong tempo with Wide Kaiserin and Cosmo Mocha leading the way over Z Thunder. MACHIKAZE (8) was safely held when fourth last time out over 1400m at Mizusawa, beaten 4 lengths. That followed a win at Mizusawa at the previous outing. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. COSMO MOCHA (3) was sent out at $23.50 last time but ran above expectations and won over 1400m at Mizusawa. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Leading contender. PERLES CELESTES (1) made progress last time out, finishing 3 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1400m at Mizusawa. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. WIDE KAISERIN (5) hit the frame two starts ago at Mizusawa but ran below par last time when tenth and beaten 7 lengths over 1400m at Mizusawa. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
