850m - 1400m

Comments

Ran third at Mizusawa last start over 850m, beaten two lengths as a prohibitive odds-on favourite after travelling well and working home evenly. His previous fourth in 3yo+ B1 grade had merit, coming from well back after being among the outsiders. He has placed four times from five starts at this track and brings reliable recent form, so he remains a major winning player despite that costly latest defeat.

Expected Settling Position: Off Midfield

Comments

Was well held when ninth at Mizusawa over 1400m last start, beaten over 15 lengths at long odds without offering a clear excuse. The stronger pointer is his third at this venue two back in 3yo+ C2 grade, where he kept grinding into the placings. He has two track-and-distance placings and a good record with Masatoshi Yamamoto, which gives him a place chance if he rebounds.

Comments

Returns from a three-month break after ending last campaign with a plain eighth at this venue over 1200m, beaten over 11 lengths when there to strike but unable to finish off. Her earlier fifth at Mizusawa was more competitive, beaten two and a half lengths near the top of betting. A 1000m record of one win and one placing from five starts, plus three wins with Yuri Takahashi, makes her a strong fresh contender.

850m - 1500m

Comments

Finished last at Mizusawa over 850m two weeks ago, beaten over 14 lengths after settling rearward and fading late. She was much better one run earlier when fourth in 3yo+ C1 grade at long odds, beaten two and a half lengths, but the latest run leaves plenty to repair. Although proven around 1000m, she was clearly beaten by Taisei Festa recently and must lift sharply.

Comments

Has been safely held at both recent Mizusawa runs, finishing second last two weeks ago when beaten over 10 lengths after sitting close enough but offering little. The run prior was no better, beaten over 11 lengths from a rearward spot. Her two wins and four placings from twelve starts at this track and distance keep her in the wider mix, but current form points to a minor hope only.

Comments

Third-up now and finds a suitable B2 assignment after a fair sixth at Mizusawa over 1400m, where he was never a winning hope but kept working to be beaten just over six lengths. Two back he was outclassed in 3yo+ ALLOW company at Niigata Dirt, so the class relief is significant. The first try around 1000m is the query, but his overall record gives him the strongest winning case.

850m - 1200m

Comments

Has not threatened at her past two Mizusawa runs, finishing eighth last start when beaten seven and a half lengths after failing to finish off, then seventh two back at big odds. She has a deep record around 1000m and has won at this track and distance, but the current form is well below what is required. Others bring far stronger recent evidence.

Comments

Was disappointing at Mizusawa last start in 3yo+ B1 grade, finishing last and beaten over 18 lengths despite being near the top of an open market. His fifth at this track two back was far better, beaten three lengths after making ground over 1600m. The class drop helps, but he is unplaced in two tries at this distance and has to find a sharper sprinting response.

Comments

Led into the lane at Mizusawa last start over 850m before being overrun late, finishing fourth and beaten four lengths. He had been second in 3yo+ C2 grade the run prior, albeit six lengths from Fierte, so his form is honest without being dominant. Proven at this track and distance and effective with Ryo Kobayashi, he has solid place claims if he sees it out better.

Comments

Has finished seventh at both recent Mizusawa runs over 850m, most recently beaten just over seven lengths after racing handy and battling only fairly. The positives are her record at this track and distance and a solid partnership with Reika Sekimoto, while the stable is strong at the venue. She still has to turn recent form around, but the setup gives her minor claims.
