MORIOKA   22 Jul 2025
 
GOING:

Race 9 1700m

Track:      

A solid tempo on the cards with Mana Hoku Lani leading the way. UBER STRONG (6) was solid against much stronger opposition when resuming from a spell last start over 1800m at Tokyo, finishing sixth after being in the firing line on the bend. Finds the right race this time and can find winning form. AIYO TOWANI (11) started at $8.10 last time and was fifth, beaten 2.5 lengths at this track. Had recorded a string of wins and placings prior so can bounce back. POURQUOI (8) will find this easier than last start when he finished 13th at Hanshin Dirt. Recorded a minor placing two starts ago at Kasamatsu so could measure up here. FUTAITEN WHEEL (4) produced a better run last start, beaten 2.4 lengths into fourth. Consider.
