YAMANIN RIVALRY (4) Was ordinary when 6th last time at Morioka. Has the potential to improve sharply and proven performer at this trip. Will be facing a significant drop in distance. Goes very close. VIP AKUA (6) Was agonizingly close last time at Morioka and showing improvement in recent outings. Can go through the gears. Toshiya Yamamoto rates highly but will be down in distance. Hard to overlook. A SHIN GEKKO (7) First up after a break. Underperformed when 12th last start at Morioka. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Include in chances. WORLD WHISTLER (1) Fairly underwhelming when 9th last start at Morioka but will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Down in distance. Capable of a running a place.
