MORIOKA DIRT   24 Aug 2026
 
GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

A strong gallop is likely with Dan Stone Serieux and Hinata taking up the running, closely attended by Kiichi Helios and Fuji Hook Hand. KIICHI HELIOS (2) hasn't been far away recently including last time out when second over 1400m at this track. Has a decent record at this track with five minor placings from six runs. Likely to feature. HINATA (5) is a distance specialist who did little and finished in sixth over 1800m at this track last start, a less impressive effort than her fourth at Morioka the run before. Has raced two times at this course and distance and is yet to be beaten. Toshiya Yamamoto gets the best out of this three-year-old filly. Finds the right race this time and can get the job done. VALUABLE (4) finished in fifth over 1400m at this track last time out after a gutsy win the start prior. Reunites with Shinobu Murakami who has a win when partnering. Sure to be competitive. DAN STONE SERIEUX (10) travelled on-pace last time out over 1400m at this track and dug deep when pressured but found one better. Is going well this campaign and can be in the finish again
