Comments

Produced the clearest recent win in the race when scoring at this track over 1200m, beating Ruby Sunset by seven lengths after travelling on speed and extending right away. Her previous Mizusawa run in C1 was plain when sixth at big odds, but that latest performance was a sharp reset and the winning rider stays aboard. From the inside draw with 52kg, she gets the right platform to make the last-start win stand up.

Comments

Was safely held at this track last start, finishing eighth behind Texas Barows and beaten over 18 lengths after giving little in the run home. The start prior at Mizusawa was more competitive when third, beaten four lengths, and he does have a track-and-distance win on the record. Even so, the latest market weakness and margin make him hard to promote beyond a sharp form turnaround.

Comments

Returns quickly second-up after finishing fourth at this track over 1200m, but the margin was severe and he was beaten as one of the better fancied runners. His previous run was also a distant fourth at this venue, so the finishing figures are difficult to overlook. A prior track win gives some hope, but his only try around 1400m produced no placing and the recent substance is thin.

Comments

Led last start at this track and was still a noted market chance, but the early work told and he weakened to finish seventh, beaten over 11 lengths by Dona Aphrodite. Two back in C1 at Mizusawa he was fifth behind Anderstorp, again offering little late after being claimed. He has won around 1400m and reunites with Ryo Takamatsu, so he is capable of a place rebound if ridden with more finish.

Comments

Has been well beaten at both recent runs, finishing ninth at this track behind Gold Freedom after racing handy and ending up over 16 lengths away. The Mizusawa fourth beforehand also reads poorly on margin, with Yakujo beating him by over 18 lengths despite some late effort. Still a maiden after 20 starts and unplaced in three goes at this track and distance, he has a sizeable task.

Comments

Comes in third-up after winning at this track over 1200m, beating May Joshua by just under a length after tracking the leader and fighting on strongly. Her Mizusawa fourth two runs back also had merit in the way she finished from an impossible spot, even if beaten over 10 lengths. The 1400m record is still unproven, but she has found form at the right time and rates a genuine winning threat.

Comments

Resumed with a plain second-last at this track, beaten over 19 lengths behind Gold Freedom after settling back and never making an impact. His prior run in C1 at Mizusawa was more respectable, beaten four lengths, and his long 1400m record includes two wins and 17 placings. Yuri Takahashi has placed on him often enough, so a minor-money recovery is possible if he strips fitter.

Worked into the minor money at this track last start, finishing third behind Fukuno Antares and beaten five and a half lengths after having his chance. That followed a sixth in B1 grade at Mizusawa where he was never a winning hope but kept going at big odds. His track-and-distance record is consistent without being winning-heavy, and Tatsunori Sugawara back aboard keeps him firmly in the mix.

Comments

Finished fourth behind Texas Barows at this track last start, beaten seven and a half lengths after settling rearward as an outsider. The run prior was stronger when second over 1200m at this venue, beaten just over a length by La La Clochette at generous odds. She carries 50kg again and has enough recent form to press for a placing, though her track-and-distance record is only modest.

Comments

Recent form is very difficult to recommend, with a ninth behind Texas Barows last start when beaten over 20 lengths at this track and sent out at long odds. The run prior was weaker again, finishing a distant last behind Gold Freedom after giving ground badly. Still winless from 14 starts and unplaced in four attempts at this track and distance, he looks up against it.
