MORIOKA DIRT   30 Jun 2026
 
GOING:

Race 11 1600m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Blaaveis leading the way. ALPHA SIRIUS (1) finished 7 lengths behind the winner in seventh over 1400m at Mizusawa last start after lifting strongly to score two runs back. Should park just off the speed. Gets his chance from this draw. BLAAVEIS (5) has been in great form, winning two on end before back-to-back placings, the latest when beaten 1.3 lengths into third over 1600m at Mizusawa. Tackling a suitable race so he is likely to prove hard to beat. MY MOMENT (2) last appeared when he finished seventh over 1600m at Mizusawa on December 9. Draws well so can make his presence felt. GOLD MOTION (8) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time. Best figures measure up nicely. Solid top-three prospects.
