MORIOKA DIRT   13 Jul 2025
 
GOING:

Race 6 1200m

Track:      

Moderate pace from Delight Bell taking it up with Neo Shakunage and Ryuno Hinagiku on her back. DOUBLE STEAL (2) was safely held in tougher company two runs back then appreciated the drop in grade last time and scored over 1300m at Mizusawa. In the right form and should go well again. DELIGHT BELL (12) broke through for her maiden win over 1300m at Mizusawa last time. Shaping up nicely and she cannot be discounted. TAISEI ADAMAS (7) missed the frame two back in tougher company then last time in a more suitable affair scored by 1.75 lengths over 1300m at Mizusawa. Finds a suitable assignment and is among the leading chances again. K TWO PENNY (11) turned things around last start and scored by a neck over 1300m at Mizusawa. Likely to be there at the finish again.
