MORIOKA DIRT   22 Jul 2025
 
GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Key Sonata leading the way. KEY SONATA (1) led throughout for a second-up win two back then went forward last start over 1400m at Mizusawa and held on well for second, beaten 3 lengths. Has the speed to take advantage of the inside draw so can give this a mighty shake. MICHELINE (9) is a 12-start maiden who was fourth at her latest appearance to follow a string of placings, all at this track and trip. Chance to break through. NOBLE OAK (10) has started twice at this course and distance for a win and a placing. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. JARDI BLACK (8) might find this easier than recent attempts. Solid top-three prospects.

The run before that favourite; scored a big 5 len win at Mizusawa June 16 over 1300m defeating Gifted Black with 54kg at $1.40. Winning prospects enhanced by the inside draw.
