MORIOKA DIRT   05 May 2024
 
GOING:

Race 12 1600m

Track:      

Strong early pace from Lycka Krona, Tour Model and Nature Miyabi, with Yamajun Salsa and Mugenno Kanosei on their heels. MUGENNO KANOSEI (8) is in a purple patch of form with his third straight win coming last time out over 1600m at Mizusawa. Effortless win last time out and should be in the finish again. NATURE MIYABI (7) was well in commission last start over 1400m at Mizusawa when fifth, beaten 3.5 lengths. Will appreciate the longer journey and can play a major role. TOUR MODEL (9) has been in the money at her last couple of runs, the latest when second over 1600m at Mizusawa. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Capable of testing this field. DANGER MAN (5) was below his best last time when sixth over 1400m at Mizusawa, beaten 4.5 lengths. Open to improvement and should be about the money.
