Comments

Returns from a five-week let-up after leading and finishing fifth at this track, beaten just under two lengths by Sakura Mau when near the top of betting. Had won by a length and a half at this venue the start prior, beating Sakura Mau after again making the running. Proven at this track and distance, and profiles as a genuine place chance if he holds that form.

Expected Settling Position: Leader

Comments

Was second last at Mizusawa last start, beaten over 13 lengths by Liberte at generous odds after having the job ahead and making no headway. The start prior was better when third at this track, though still beaten just over five lengths. He is third-up and reunites with a successful rider, but recent figures leave him with plenty to find.

Comments

Has finished sixth at his past two starts at Mizusawa, most recently beaten just over five lengths by Shimasan Black after being just fair through the line. He was at long odds when beaten nine lengths the run prior, so there is no recent winning push in the market. The class setup and winning rider returning help, but he looks more a place hope than a win play.

Comments

Worked home from well back for fifth at Mizusawa last start, beaten just over five lengths by Shimasan Black when near the top of an open market. He had been third the run before, beaten just over four lengths by Sanei Brave, and his season record is sound. The poor track-and-distance strike-rate tempers enthusiasm, but he can be competitive for a placing.

Resumes after a three-month break after ending last campaign fourth at this track, beaten over 16 lengths by Legend Barows despite picking up late. His previous run was a plain ninth as favourite, offering little when it mattered. He has won at this venue and has three wins this season, but this resuming task demands a sharper performance.

Arrives in excellent order after winning her past two, most recently beating Miyako Plaisir by just under a length at Mizusawa in 3yo+ B2 grade. She had won at this track before that, defeating Big Sisi Roof after tracking the speed. Her 1600m record is reliable and the Makoto Otsubo partnership is a major asset, making her a strong winning hope again.

Comments

Closed strongly into third at Mizusawa last start, beaten just over two lengths by Yamanin Lirio after looking no chance, and that performance reads much better than his long price suggested. The prior sixth was plain, but his six wins at this track and distance, 52kg impost and strong record with Yuka Saito give him a compelling platform. He is the runner to beat.

Has won both runs this campaign at Mizusawa over 1400m, most recently beating Kiichi Helios by just over a length as an odds-on favourite and doing it comfortably. The extra ground is the obvious new element, as she has not raced around 1600m before, but her current form, track record and outstanding strike-rate with Ryo Takamatsu keep her right in the winning mix.

Finished eighth at Mizusawa last start, beaten just over six lengths by Shimasan Black after never looking a winning hope. His third two back was only fair, with Mishiro Way still five and a half lengths clear. He does have an excellent track-and-distance place profile and a leading jockey goes on, but he has to lift noticeably on recent output.

Expected Settling Position: Off Midfield

Resumed with a seventh at Mizusawa, beaten over 12 lengths by Liberte after settling back and making no impression late. Her previous race start was also plain, finishing tenth at this track when beaten over 15 lengths by Waganse. She tries around 1600m for the first time and, despite some class relief, recent form makes her hard to recommend.
