Comments

Won by half a length over 1400m at Mizusawa last start, sitting up on the speed and holding Vigoureusement after a genuine tussle. The run prior was a strong third at this track over 1200m, beaten a length and a half after looking out of play before closing hard. He comes back to 1000m with a modest record around the trip, but current form, a suitable class setup and solid track figures make him the horse to beat.

Comments

Opened this campaign with a sharp Mizusawa win over 850m, leading and opening up to score by just over a length despite being sent out at long odds. That was a clear response after ending the previous run at this venue well beaten. She has placed twice from five goes at this track and distance and reunites with a rider who has won three times on her, so the first-up performance has to be taken seriously.

Comments

Worked home fairly from well back when sixth to Gorgeous Lady over 850m at Mizusawa last start, beaten four lengths and unwanted in betting. That followed a second-last over the same trip when he made no late impression at long odds. The class setup and past jockey record give some support, but he has to lift sharply on recent efforts to trouble the main chances.

Comments

Returns from a five-month break after ending her last campaign with a seventh at Mizusawa in B1 grade, beaten just over seven lengths after settling rearward. She had been third at this venue the start before, beaten just over three lengths, and her small track record is tidy. Without a recent run to build from, she looks more a rough place hope than a winning threat.

Comments

Arrives in strong order after winning a B1B2 over 850m at Mizusawa, leading to the turn and opening up to score by just over a length from Danju Kariyushi. She had been second the start before in another 850m sprint, again well respected in betting. With four wins and nine places from 23 starts and a good record with Kazen Nango, she brings a reliable profile and rates a major winning chance.

820m - 1600m

Comments

Returns from a five-week freshening after a plain second-last at this track over 1200m, beaten over 15 lengths and unwanted in the market. His previous fourth over 1600m was also well held, so recent form is a concern. The drop in grade, weight relief and a win from his only try around this distance bring him back into place calculations, though the track record is against him.

Comments

Picked up late when fifth behind Sammaru Cerezo at Mizusawa last start, beaten just under five lengths after giving herself work to do. The start prior was an eighth over 850m where she was close enough at the turn but failed to quicken. She has won around this distance before and gains a leading rider, but recent form leaves her with plenty to find.

Expected Settling Position: Off Midfield

Comments

Ran second to Sammaru Cerezo at Mizusawa last start, beaten just over a length after being safely held by the winner but still improving sharply on his previous eighth. He is a track-and-trip winner and has a workable record with Shinobu Murakami, which keeps him in the mix. The overall career strike rate is modest, so he profiles better as a place chance than a clear win play.

Comments

Resumed with a fourth behind Gorgeous Lady over 850m at Mizusawa, beaten three lengths after leading to the turn and working home evenly. He was among the outsiders there, but his broader record is sound with eight wins and twelve places from 53 starts, plus a win and placing from five goes around 1000m. Second-up improvement would put him right in the place battle.

Comments

Finished seventh behind Gorgeous Lady at Mizusawa last start, beaten four and a half lengths despite making some late ground after settling just off the lead. Her previous third at this track was much better, beaten just over half a length after leading and being run down late. She has placed three times from six at this track and distance, but winning looks a tougher task on the latest evidence.
