MORIOKA DIRT   16 Aug 2026
 
GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

Sister Black and Lincle Link have the pace to take up the running at a solid tempo. MIKINO HISTORY (1) was impressive last time over 1200m at this track, scoring by 4 lengths. Is going well this campaign, recording a win and two minor placings from five starts. Expected to feature. VENTO DI LUNA (6) broke through for her maiden win over 1400m at this track last time, scoring comfortably. Winning rider Toshiya Yamamoto stays aboard and she cannot be discounted. BOBBINET (5) is close to breaking through after finishing second last start over 1400m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. LAPHETYE (8) finished 2.5 lengths away in fourth at his last appearance over 1400m at this track on August 2. Suited in this line up and is among the better hopes.
