MORIOKA DIRT   29 Jun 2026
 
GOING:

Race 12 1600m

Track:      

Plenty of pace with Sanei Brave and Winter Sun up front, pressured by Copano Marron and Fervore. COPANO MARRON (12) was in a different class last time, registering a dominant 3 lengths win over 1400m at Mizusawa to make it two in a row. Should be poised just off the lead. Leading contender. MAGICAL WORD (5) is coming off a last-start fourth over 1600m at Mizusawa. Expected to go close. ODENSHITA (10) settled well back before making steady ground in the straight last start to finish fifth over this journey at Mizusawa. Solid top-three prospects. WINTER SUN (11) scored two back but was below her best last time when ninth over 1600m at Mizusawa. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
