Mizusawa Race 1 - Race 1 - 1400
COSMOS MITCHI (4) has the clearest winning platform after lifting to win a 3yo+ C1 at Morioka Dirt, scoring by a length from Tochino Hero after being prominent in betting. Back to C2 and with a sound 1400m profile, she sets the mark. BALALALALALALALA (1) maps to be the most forward of the main hopes from barrier one, but she was beaten four lengths as a well-supported favourite over 1200m and the rise to 1400m remains the sticking point. SOUND NOVA (2) was safely held here last week, yet the six-length Morioka Dirt win two back is strong enough to make him a genuine danger if he rebounds. PINK NO BARA (3) brings proven Mizusawa 1400m form and can improve off a fair fourth, while LUCKY STORY (10) has place appeal after a long-odds third but must do more late.

Improved to run second over 1200m at Morioka Dirt last start, beaten four lengths by Sakura Top Sky, though she was a well-supported favourite and had every chance from a handy position. The run prior was weaker when sixth, beaten nine and a half lengths, after failing to finish it off. Barrier one helps her race on pace, but being unplaced in all 14 starts at this distance keeps her more in the place bracket.

Had to settle for fourth at Mizusawa last week, beaten over 10 lengths by Annindofu, but he did keep working to the line at generous odds. His stronger reference is the start prior at Morioka Dirt, where he beat Sakura Top Sky by six lengths as a short odds-on favourite. With two wins and five places from 23 starts at this distance, he has enough substance to bounce back strongly.

Worked into fourth at Mizusawa last week, beaten four and a half lengths by Kung Fu Dance after settling rearward, which was a clear step up on her tenth in a 3yo+ B2 at Morioka Dirt. Her two wins from five starts at this track and distance are the key positives, and the return to a proven C2 set-up gives her a sound winning case if she holds her position a touch better.

Turned her form around at Morioka Dirt last start, winning a 3yo+ C1 by a length from Tochino Hero after being near the top of betting and finding enough late. That was a much sharper effort than her Kawasaki eighth over 1600m when unwanted in the market. She owns three wins and three places from twelve starts at this distance, so the last-start win looks a solid platform rather than a one-off spike.

Finished eighth at Mizusawa last week, beaten over 12 lengths by Kung Fu Dance, after settling a long way back and making no impression at big odds. That followed a seventh at Morioka Dirt over 1200m, beaten over 11 lengths by Sakura Top Sky, so the recent pattern is plain. She has placed three times from nine starts here, but a maiden record from 20 starts makes this a difficult assignment.

Was last over 1600m at Morioka Dirt a fortnight ago, well beaten by Chuwa Chief after settling rearward and giving ground in the straight. His Kawasaki run prior was similar, finishing second last and beaten over 11 lengths at long odds. The return to 1400m suits his older form, including two distance wins, but the current formline leaves him with plenty to repair.

Has been closing off from rearward positions without doing enough, finishing fifth at Morioka Dirt last start over 1200m, beaten just over seven lengths by Aztlan. Two back she was fourth at big odds, beaten three and a half lengths by Hecto Princess. Placing twice from three starts at this track and distance is some help, but the rise in trip has to bring a sharper finish.

Second-up after a poor return at Mizusawa last week, finishing second last and beaten over 20 lengths by Kung Fu Dance when unwanted in the market. His previous run at Morioka Dirt was only fair, beaten just under seven lengths by Soranchan, so there is no strong recent rebound signal. Past track-and-distance placings offer minor context, but he must show far more early and late.

Comes off two heavy defeats, most recently tenth at Mizusawa when beaten over 17 lengths by Uwasano Dekopin after settling well back and never improving. She was also ninth at Morioka Dirt the run prior, beaten over 15 lengths by Meiner Recuerdo, and the market showed little interest both times. The drop to 50kg and C2 set-up help, but she needs that relief to spark a meaningful turnaround.

Ran third over 1200m at Morioka Dirt last start in a 3yo+ COND, beaten eight lengths by Black Storm after sitting close enough without threatening the winner. His ninth in a 3yo+ A3 over 1600m two back was also safely held, but this C2 grade is a more suitable level. With four wins and nine places from 32 starts overall, he has enough base form for minor money if the trip is no issue.
