Comments

Returned to winning form at this track two weeks ago, travelling in front and keeping on strongly to beat Miraieno Shingeki by just over a length at generous odds. The Mizusawa fifth before that was sound enough, as she picked up late in a COND after being near the top of an open market. Her track-and-trip record reads well, and from barrier one she has the right profile to take beating again.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace

Comments

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending last campaign with a seventh at this track, beaten four and a half lengths after failing to quicken. His previous run was a long-margin defeat in a COND, so recent race evidence is difficult to recommend. The track-and-trip record is respectable, but he has a fair task to regain winning form first-up.

Comments

Comes through a solid third at this track, beaten just over two lengths by Copano Marron after settling rearward, and that followed a sound Mizusawa second to Waganse in a COND. She carries 50kg again and has placed at all five starts at this track and distance without winning. The win strike rate is the question, but her current form makes her a genuine threat.

Comments

Was safely held when seventh first-up at this track, beaten seven and a half lengths by Copano Marron after conceding a huge start and never getting into the race. His previous run at Mizusawa was also well below the required level. The old track-and-trip record is strong and the rider knows him well, but he has to show far more urgency second-up.

Was never a winning hope when eighth in a COND at this track last start, beaten six and a half lengths by Tosen Massimo after having the job ahead. The run prior at Mizusawa was much better, going under by just under a length to the same horse. His record around 1600m is deep, but he looks more a rough place hope than a reliable winning chance.

Could not go on with it when eighth at this track last start, beaten just under nine lengths by Copano Marron after racing just off the pace. The start prior was much stronger, beaten a neck by Shimasan Black at Mizusawa when sent out favourite in B1 grade. He is proven at this track and distance, but the latest effort leaves him an each-way proposition at best.

Comments

Has finished fifth at his past two, most recently beaten just over four lengths by Tosen Massimo at this track after settling rearward and being unwanted in the market. He made some late ground from well back at Mizusawa the run before without threatening. The track-and-trip record is useful, so he has a sound place case if the race brings him into it.

Comments

Battled into third over 1800m at this track last start, but the margin was severe and he was beaten out of sight by Brion after being near the top of betting. His Mizusawa second to Dionis before that was a much cleaner pointer, beaten just under two lengths. Back to a distance where his record is stronger, he shapes as a place hope rather than a horse to declare.

Comments

Was well beaten at Mizusawa last start, finishing seventh and beaten over 10 lengths after being claimed early and offering little late. The start prior was better when third to Dionis, though still beaten just under six lengths. Her best argument is the excellent track-and-trip record, and a return to that venue form would put her back in the minor-money picture.

Comments

Finished last at this track two weeks ago, well held by Tosen Massimo after coming under pressure late and attracting little market interest. His Mizusawa third the run before was more competitive, as he kept finding to get into the frame, but he was also unwanted there. The track-and-trip record offers some support, though he must lift significantly on the latest evidence.

Comments

Improved sharply when second to Copano Marron at this track last start, beaten just over a length at big odds and finishing ahead of Magical Word. That was a much stronger effort than his Mizusawa seventh, where he conceded a huge start and was never in the race. With two wins and four placings from eight at this track and distance, he looks a serious winning danger.

Faded late when sixth behind Copano Marron at this track last start, beaten just over six lengths after settling prominently and starting unwanted in the market. He had also disappointed as favourite at Mizusawa the run prior, finishing seventh to Sanei Condor. A small-sample track-and-trip record helps, but his current form reads more like a place hope with questions.
