MORIOKA DIRT   19 May 2024
 
GOING:

Race 2 1200m

Track:      

A race that is devoid of early speed and it is hard to nominate a leader. ROULETTE (11) has been tacking on much stringer company at Ohi of late. Has joined a new stable and is much better placed so gets her chance to break the ice. COCO MANDARIN (8) returns from a spell of seven months. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when 11th over 1200m at this track. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal while fresh. WIND AVENUE (3) is backing up seven days after finishing third over 1200m at this track. Has a low draw and should feature. YAENO SHINE (9) was solid when fourth at his latest appearance over 1200m at this track. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment.
