MORIOKA DIRT   31 Aug 2025
 
GOING:

Race 3 1200m

Track:      

Just a modest pace in store without noted speed runners engaged. EMPIRICAL RULE (7) missed the frame two back in tougher company then last time in easier did much better when second over 1200m at this track. Rates strongly in this similar company and should feature again. Go close. AFTER BEAT (8) stuck on well last start to finish third over 1400m at this track after showing good early speed. This is an easier assignment and can find winning form. LIMERICK (6) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 5.5 lengths when fourth in a 1700m contest at Morioka two weeks ago. Has the class to figure prominently. MEISHO YUFUIN (3) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fourth, beaten 4 lengths, over 1200m at this track. Among the chances.
