Comments

Went within a head at this track two weeks ago, working home evenly at long odds behind Kitanolesclefsd'Or. That was a sharp response to a ninth at Mizusawa, where he was beaten over 14 lengths in C2 grade after giving away too much start. His record at this venue is the strong point, with a win and five placings from six visits, so he profiles as a genuine place hope rather than a clear winning choice.

Comments

Picked up nicely when fourth at this track last start, beaten three and a half lengths by Sakura Kaze after starting an outside chance in the betting. The Mizusawa third before that was also sound, with Real Muhammad only just under two lengths ahead. He has two wins from four starts at this venue, and although the 1600m record is more placing-heavy than winning, his recent form makes him a serious player.

Expected Settling Position: Off Midfield

Comments

Had to settle for second as favourite at this track last start, beaten four lengths by Thumbs Up after getting back in the run. She had earlier won by four lengths at Mizusawa, beating Bee Stunning as a short odds-on favourite, so the form still has substance. With two wins and two placings from eight starts, plus a perfect place record with this jockey, she remains a realistic minor hope.

Comments

Returns after a five-week freshening following a heavy defeat at Mizusawa, where he finished last in B2 grade and was beaten out of sight after being unwanted in the market. His fourth at this track the run prior was better, even if still beaten eight and a half lengths in C2 company. The class drop and return to a proven distance help, but he must rebound sharply to threaten.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace

Comments

Has been well beaten at both runs this campaign, finishing second last at this track behind King Spade after again settling rearward and attracting little market interest. His Mizusawa run before that was no better, beaten over 16 lengths by Real Muhammad. The past track-and-distance win is some background support, but current form leaves him with plenty to turn around.

Comments

Returns from a four-month break after finishing third at this track, beaten just over seven lengths by Sol Estrella at generous odds. His previous second behind Kikkake was more encouraging, when beaten half a length and finishing strongly. The long 1600m record shows genuine experience, but he is winless from 14 tries at this track and distance, so he has to be sharp fresh.

1400m - 1600m

Comments

Kept finding the line when third at this track last start, beaten a length and a half by King Spade despite being unwanted in the market. That followed a narrow Mizusawa second to Excellent Man, where she fought hard and went down by a neck. The obvious concern is still the 37-start maiden record, but her recent form and strong jockey partnership give her a live winning chance.

Expected Settling Position: Off Midfield

Comments

Was last at this track last start, beaten over 18 lengths by King Spade after coming under pressure late, and there was no clear excuse. The Mizusawa seventh before that was also plain, beaten just under eight lengths after never coming into contention. He has won races overall, but six previous starts around 1600m without a placing make it hard to build a positive case.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace

Comments

Finished strongly for second in B2 grade at Morioka last start, beaten a length by El Professor at long odds, and that form reads well for this. She had been eighth to the same winner two runs back after giving away too much start, so the latest effort is the one to trust. The class drop and weight relief are important advantages, and her recent ratings give her a strong winning platform.

Comments

Has built a tidy record with two wins and three placings from eight starts, and his record at this track is particularly reliable. Last start he was second over 1400m at this venue, beaten two and a half lengths by Heroic Tale after being near the top of betting, but was safely held. The move to 1600m is the query after one unplaced try, so he shapes more as a strong place chance.

Expected Settling Position: Leader

Returns from a three-month break after finishing second at Morioka, beaten six lengths by Rouge Astrea when sent out an odds-on favourite and unable to quicken. The Hakodate run before that was plain, finishing 13th in a Mdn at big odds. He is still a maiden, but two placings from seven starts and a trainer change give him enough profile to be considered for the minors.

Improved to finish fifth at this track last start, beaten just under five lengths by Thumbs Up at long odds after settling rearward. That was a better result than her Mizusawa run in B1 grade, where she faded late and was beaten over 20 lengths as an unwanted runner. A previous win at this track offers a small positive, but her overall form still asks for a sizeable lift.
