MORIOKA DIRT   20 May 2024
 
GOING:

Race 7 1200m

Track:      

Lord Guardian is the likely leader at a keen tempo. BEE BARISTA (8) was safely held when third last time out over 850m at Mizusawa. That followed a win at Mizusawa at the previous outing. Going well and has the talent to test this line-up. L'ECLAIR DE PARIS (6) finished 3 lengths away in sixth last time out after a good showing for second two back. Steps up in journey today. Likely to run well. LORD GUARDIAN (7) was a winner two back then finished sixth last time out over 850m at Mizusawa after being in contention on the turn three weeks ago. Steps up in distance today. Winning claims on best figures. B B PADDLE (5) showed little early speed then came with a powerful run to finish second last time out over 1000m at this track. Can figure in the finish again.
