Comments

Worked into fourth behind M T Waltz at Mizusawa last week, though the margin was still nine lengths and she was again at long odds. The run prior was a similar rearward effort when seventh behind Vip Regius, beaten just over eight lengths. The class drop, quick back-up and return of a winning rider help, but she has ground to make up on Golden Syrup and O K Smile from recent meetings and profiles more as a minor-money hope.

Expected Settling Position: Off Midfield

Comments

Finished well held behind Mozu Gold Medal at Mizusawa last start after settling a long way back and making no impression. He had been favourite when fifth to Hishi Taycan the run prior, so the market has expected more from him this campaign. The class drop and seven-win career profile keep him in the conversation, but he is untried at around 1000m and has to sharpen up to be a winning threat.

Comments

Comes off a disappointing second-last behind A Shin Conpa at Mizusawa, beaten over 13 lengths after settling back and offering little late. That was poor, but her previous fourth to Luna was more competitive and she has a win plus four placings from 23 starts in the past 12 months. With race fitness and a class drop in her favour, a return to that earlier run puts her right among the main hopes.

Comments

Finished last behind M T Waltz at Mizusawa last week and was well held after settling back in a weak run to the line. She was also safely beaten when eighth behind Vip Regius six days earlier, so the recent form reads plainly. The quick back-up, class drop and return of a winning rider offer some help, but she is unplaced in all 13 starts at this track and distance and looks a place chance only if she lifts sharply.

Comments

Has been well beaten at both recent Mizusawa runs, finishing eighth behind M T Waltz last week after giving away a big start and only battling through the line. The run prior was no stronger when she led briefly before being swamped by S C Yamato and beaten over 11 lengths. A class drop is a small positive, but a 45-start maiden record leaves her with plenty to prove.

Comments

Placed again at Mizusawa last week, working home into second behind M T Waltz after travelling well to the turn and being near the top of an open market. That followed a solid third to Rare Gryphon when beaten a length and a half, so his current form is clearly the most reliable in the field. The quick back-up is the only small reservation, but his higher-class background and good-track record make him the one to beat.

Comments

Went very close at Mizusawa last start, finishing strongly for second behind Vip Regius and beaten only half a length as a well-supported favourite. Two back she charged home for fourth in 3yo+ B2 company at big odds, which reads well against this opposition. She has not quite converted the market confidence yet, but the class drop and recent closing efforts make her a major winning player.

Comments

Has not threatened in two runs this campaign, finishing second last behind M T Waltz last week after pressing forward and fading from the contest. Her previous eighth behind Escher was even more decisive, beaten over 17 lengths and unwanted in betting. Third-up fitness and a class drop help only slightly, while her sole try around 1000m brought no placing. Others appeal more strongly.

Expected Settling Position: Midfield

Comments

Was sixth behind M T Waltz at Mizusawa last week, beaten over 11 lengths after sitting just off the lead and failing to quicken. Her previous fifth to Vip Regius was better, beaten just over four lengths, and she is a proven track-and-trip winner with one win and three placings from twelve such starts. The class drop and quick back-up suit, but recent finishing strength keeps her in the place bracket.

Comments

Returns from a two-month break after finishing last in 3yo+ B1 company at this venue, beaten over 17 lengths by Lily Correr at long odds. His start prior was also a well-beaten second last in the same grade, so the current campaign has not offered much encouragement. The class drop, track-and-trip profile and strong overall career record are positives, but he is unplaced in seven starts over the past 12 months and must rediscover form.

Comments

Finished second last behind Vip Regius at Mizusawa last start, beaten over 12 lengths after sitting behind the leaders and coming under pressure late. She had also been well held behind Escher first-up and has been unwanted in the market both times this campaign. The 50kg impost and class drop provide some assistance, but an unplaced record from 14 starts in the past 12 months is hard to overlook.

Comments

Produced a better effort when fourth behind Vip Regius at Mizusawa last start, beaten four lengths at long odds after tracking the speed and boxing on fairly. That was an improvement on his last behind Luna, where he could not muster a challenge despite some market respect. He has won five times around this distance and drops in class, but the wide draw and uneven recent form leave him with work to do.
