MORIOKA DIRT   03 Jun 2025
 
GOING:

Race 12 1200m

Track:      

A solid tempo on the cards with Matsurida World leading the way. LORD OF THE CHEKO (3) went fast early and went on to score by 8 lengths last time out over 1400m at Mizusawa. Will be up on the speed from the low draw. Well placed and can salute again. MATSURIDA WORLD (8) booted up from the inside draw to lead last start and was there on straightening before being claimed and finishing just 0.8 lengths away in second over 1400m at Mizusawa. Well-placed and could be tough to rein in again. SANEI WING (2) was below his best last time, finishing seventh over 1000m at this track. Worth noting Toshiya Yamamoto goes aboard. Finds a nice race and is among the leading chances. SPROUTING (5) is stepping out at this circuit for the first time. Last appeared when he scored over 1400m at Mizusawa on April 27. Impressive win last start and is in the mix again.
