MORIOKA DIRT   12 Aug 2025
 
GOING:

Race 2 1200m

Track:      

Not a great deal of early speed and Globe Mission may be the one that takes it up. EVERGREEN (3) last appeared a month ago over 2600m at Hakodate when he finished ninth. This is his first run for the Tomokazu Tachibana stable. Expecting a seamless transition. SPARK (4) finished out of the money when fresh from a spell two starts back then was fourth over 1200m at this track in a more suitable race two weeks ago. Will be rock-hard fit now and can feature. RAIJIN CITY (8) is a seven-start maiden who could only manage to finish fourth at his latest appearance over 1200m at this track. Looks to be in the right race to play a big role. IN MY HEART (9) was unplaced two runs back when fresh from a spell then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at this track, finishing seventh. Fitter and has top-three prospects.
