Mizusawa Race 10 - Race 10 - 1600
POD JASPER (3) goes on top despite two plain Morioka Dirt runs in 3yo+ B1 company, with the class drop the key to his case and a 1600m record that gives him some grounding at the trip. KHACHATRIAN (4) is the main threat: he was below his best last time but had been narrowly beaten two runs back and his placed record at the distance keeps him firmly in calculations. NOCTURNALITY (1) has the inside draw but is likely to settle back, so he needs the race run to suit after failing to finish off last start; his prior win over 1400m keeps him dangerous. CASTLE TOP (7) has a task after being beaten over 19 lengths, though his broader 1600m record gives him a rough rebound hope. MEISHO YUFUIN (9) brings recent placings and 50kg, but the 1600m record is the query.

Had every chance last start at Morioka Dirt when seventh behind Fearless Heart, beaten nine and a half lengths after being near the top of betting and fading in the run home. The stronger reference is his previous 1400m win there, when he beat Grand Croix by a neck and worked into the race cleanly. From barrier 1 he may still be ridden quietly, so the 1600m test needs to bring out his finish rather than blunt it.

Finished fifth in a 3yo+ C2 over 1200m at Morioka Dirt last start, beaten just over seven lengths by Greater Virtue at generous odds. The run prior was much weaker, beaten over 17 lengths over 1400m after settling handy. She has placed three times from eleven starts at Mizusawa, but the sharp rise to 1600m is a genuine hurdle and improvement is required.

Drops out of 3yo+ B1 company after leading narrowly at Morioka Dirt over 1400m before being swamped and finishing seventh, beaten seven and a half lengths by Waganse. He had also disappointed as favourite two back when fifth behind Queen Card, so the recent form is not faultless. Still, he has won once from three starts at 1600m and should race handy enough to make this class relief count.

Below his best when sixth at Morioka Dirt last start, beaten just under six lengths by Pure Makena at generous odds after settling further back than expected. Two back was much better, third behind Kurinatchi and beaten just over a length after being run down late. With six placings from eleven starts at 1600m and Yu Suzuki back aboard, he has the profile to press forward and be a major player.

Picked up late when sixth behind Liberte at Morioka Dirt last start, beaten just under eight lengths, after being rated an outside chance in betting. His previous fourth behind the same winner was more competitive, beaten just under three lengths over 1400m. A return to 1600m and established Mizusawa form help his place claims, though he needs to turn that consistency into a stronger winning blow.

Went very close at big odds last start at Morioka Dirt, finishing second to Sakura Mau and beaten half a length after being caught late. That was a marked improvement on her previous seventh behind Pure Makena, where she conceded too much start and was only fair through the line. The latest run puts her back in the conversation, but her limited Mizusawa 1600m record keeps the winning case measured.

Was soundly beaten in 3yo+ COND grade at Morioka Dirt last start, finishing last behind Little Something and beaten over 19 lengths after settling miles back. His Kochi fifth two back behind Berlinetta was also plain, beaten seven and a half lengths. The positive is a solid broader 1600m record, but he needs a sharp turnaround and a race shape that lets him build from the rear.

Closed off for fourth in a 3yo+ C2 over 1400m at Morioka Dirt last start, beaten just under four lengths by Kitano Couver at generous odds. He was also within just over three lengths two back despite starting big odds, so the recent margins are not hopeless. His Mizusawa 1600m record is strong from a small sample, but from a rearward pattern he still has to produce more than a late nibble.

Ran second in a 3yo+ C2 over 1200m at Morioka Dirt last start, beaten a length and a half by Aztlan after working into the money from a difficult position. She had placed over 1400m the start prior, though still beaten four and a half lengths by Turn To Best. The 50kg helps, but being unplaced in all four starts at 1600m leaves her with a clear distance question.

Disappointed in a 3yo+ C2 over 1200m at Morioka Dirt last start, finishing eighth behind Greater Virtue and beaten just over eight lengths after being near the top of an open market. His previous second to On The Basara, beaten a nose over 1400m, shows he can be competitive when on song. However, the 1600m remains unproven and he must rebound from a flat latest effort.

Has been well held at her past two Morioka Dirt runs, most recently last behind Fairial Gift in a 3yo+ C2 over 1400m and beaten over 10 lengths when unwanted in the market. The start prior was only marginally better, eighth behind Dolciaria and making no impression late. She has a useful jockey partnership, but an unplaced record at this track and distance is a major knock.
