MORIOKA DIRT   12 Aug 2025
 
GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

They look to roll along early with Mozu Yapparine and Live Ketchup leading the charge. CHEERFUL VOICE (1) is progressing well this preparation. Opened with a 14th at Hanshin Dirt two starts back then got the job done by 5 lengths as public elect last time out over 1400m at this track. Can salute again. DARK FANTASY (7) did a great job to score by 4 lengths over today's course and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. Looks well placed so expect another big run. SEIUN ATER (10) raced close to the lead before clearing out to score an effortless 2.5 lengths win over 1400m at this track last time. Has a win and two minor placings from four starts at this track and distance. Should be involved in the finish. PEACE RAPID (4) was fourth over 1400m at this track at his latest appearance. Nicely placed to find some form.
