MORIOKA DIRT   14 Jul 2026
 
GOING:

Race 4 1200m

Track:      

Solid tempo anticipated with Marukei Daisy taking charge. COPANO EBISU (7) has been in the betting recently but has failed to live up to market expectations. Most recently finished sixth over 1300m at Mizusawa, beaten 9 lengths. Finds a nice race and looks a great chance to repay supporters. BRIGHTIA CELEB (6) stepped out for the first time last start and was just fair in finishing fifth at Morioka over 1000m, beaten 5.5 lengths. Watch for a much better performance this time. WORLD LUMIERE (8) wasn't beaten far over 1000m at Morioka on debut last start and may appreciate the longer journey. Fitter and can find the frame this time. ALUMI NO DUNK (2) was safely held when seventh on debut last start over 1000m at Morioka. Tackles a longer journey this time. Could sneak into the finish with some natural improvement likely.
