Comments

Was safely held at Mizusawa last start, finishing seventh in 3yo+ C1 company and beaten over 14 lengths after offering little late. The start prior was better when fourth at this track, beaten five and a half lengths after leading and working home evenly. She has won at this track and distance and Ryo Takamatsu knows her well, but current form says she must lift sharply.

Comments

Picked up nicely in the straight when sixth at Mizusawa last start, though the market had him unwanted and the margin was still just over eight lengths. The concern is his previous run at this venue, where he started short odds-on and faded late to be beaten a long way. His past 12 months read well enough for minor claims, but the winning edge has to return.

Comments

Battled on well enough for fifth at Mizusawa last start, but he was at long odds and still beaten seven and a half lengths by Z Thunder. Two back at this track he led and worked home evenly, finishing fifth and beaten over 10 lengths. His 1400m record is sound and this is his fourth run of the campaign, but the recent margins leave him with plenty to find.

Comments

Worked home evenly for second at Mizusawa last start, beaten three lengths by Sun Calypso after sitting near the top of an open market. That followed a respectable sixth in 3yo+ B1 company, where she picked up nicely late and was beaten four and a half lengths. Four wins at this track and distance are a major asset, and she brings the right form to win this.

Comments

Has been beaten out of sight at both recent 1600m runs at Mizusawa, finishing last each time and offering no late response from the rear. The return to 1400m is at least more suitable on his record, with two wins from four starts at this track and distance. Even so, those latest defeats were too plain to treat him as a serious threat without a major turnaround.

Comments

Was well found in betting at Mizusawa last start but weakened through the line and finished seventh, beaten over 12 lengths by Z Thunder. His previous fourth over 1600m was more competitive after leading and working home evenly. Six wins at around 1400m and a solid season record keep him in the mix, but he looks more a place hope than a horse to trust fully.

Comments

Made no headway when eighth at Mizusawa last start, beaten over 15 lengths at big odds, which is difficult to overlook. His third the run prior was better, though still beaten just over seven lengths by Spiritual and also at long odds. A track-and-distance win and good record with Hidetoshi Abe offer some support, but his latest form is short of what is required.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace

Comments

Was below her best at Mizusawa last start, finishing sixth and beaten ten lengths after settling back despite being near the top of an open market. The run prior is the more reliable guide, when she finished strongly for second at this venue and was beaten only a neck by Liberte as favourite. With a strong track-and-distance record and 50kg again, she can bounce back strongly.

Comments

Returns from a two-month freshening after winning at this track in 3yo+ C2 grade, beating Bleu Chateau by half a length as a dominant odds-on favourite. She had also run second to Spiritual at this venue the start prior, so the campaign pattern is clearly positive. Masatoshi Yamamoto stays aboard and her track-and-distance record is hard to fault, making her the one they have to beat.

Comments

Dropped right out when last at Mizusawa last start, beaten over 19 lengths after settling rearward and weakening further. His prior run was far better, when pipped at the post and beaten half a length by Kaito Licht in 3yo+ C1 company. Two wins and five placings from 13 starts at this track and distance keep him in the minor-money picture if he rebounds.
