Mizusawa Race 11 - Race 11 - 1600
LOST BALL (2) brings the most reliable winning profile after an odds-on 3yo+ C1 success over 1400m at Morioka Dirt, backed by a narrow defeat the run before when again heavily fancied. The rise to 1600m is the clear question, but his current form and strong record with Reika Sekimoto make him the runner to beat. TOVARISCH (7) is the obvious danger after being beaten a nose here last start, and his three wins from five at Mizusawa give that performance solid substance, though he still has to put the mile away. SNOW PATROL (1) improved sharply when fourth here behind Sanei Brave and owns an excellent Mizusawa 1600m record, so she is a genuine threat if she repeats that closing effort. FEARLESS HEART (4) arrives off a last-start win at Morioka Dirt and has placed in all three Mizusawa runs, but he profiles slightly more as a place danger unless he reproduces that latest finish at B1 level.

Improved from a plain Morioka run to finish fourth at Mizusawa last start, beaten six and a half lengths by Sanei Brave after making up good ground late. The start prior at Morioka was poor, when last and beaten over 16 lengths at big odds, but her seven wins and three places from 19 starts at this track and distance are hard to ignore. She still has to turn the tables on Tovarisch, yet this looks a suitable race for her to be highly competitive.

Comes through a strong recent sequence, winning a 3yo+ C1 over 1400m at Morioka Dirt last start as a prohibitive odds-on favourite and beating Bianca by a length and a half. He had also been close when third to Hanaka Honoka two back, beaten just under a length as favourite. The step to 1600m is the main query, but four wins from five with Reika Sekimoto and a win from his only Mizusawa start give him a very solid winning case.

Worked home from well back when sixth at Mizusawa last start, beaten just over nine lengths by Sanei Brave, but he was never really a winning factor. His previous fourth at Morioka Dirt followed a similar pattern, making late ground after looking no hope and finishing beaten over 10 lengths. The class setup helps, yet no wins and one place from 11 starts at this track and distance point more to a minor-money hope than a strong winning chance.

Lifted sharply at Morioka Dirt last start, winning a 3yo+ C1 at generous odds and finishing too well for Over The Top by just over a length. That was a clear turnaround from his previous eighth to Daisen Rouge, where the final effort was only moderate after settling with plenty to do. His Mizusawa record of one win and two places from three starts is a genuine positive, but he needs to hold that latest form to be more than a placing chance.

Was safely held at Mizusawa last start, finishing last and beaten over 16 lengths by Sanei Brave after racing prominently and coming under pressure late. The run prior had more merit when fourth to Lost Ball in a 3yo+ C1 over 1400m at Morioka Dirt, but he was still beaten just over six lengths. He can roll forward, though his only start at this distance and only start at this track both resulted in unplaced runs, so a sharp lift is required.

Finished eighth at Mizusawa last week in a 3yo+ C1 over 1400m, beaten over 13 lengths by Liberte after giving away a big start and never getting into the race. His ninth at Morioka Dirt two back was less severe on margin but still only fair, and the market has offered little encouragement. He has placed once from six starts at this track and distance, but recent form leaves him with a sizeable task.

Went very close at Mizusawa last start, finishing second to Sanei Brave and beaten a nose after looking the winner before fighting hard late. That was a decisive improvement on his fifth to Fearless Heart at Morioka Dirt, where he was beaten eight lengths after settling rearward. Three wins and one place from five starts at this track make him a key chance, although the 1600m record remains the one note of caution.

Returns from a three-month break after a below-par Morioka Dirt run, where he finished second last and was beaten over 10 lengths by Hakushin Personal at long odds. His previous fourth at Mizusawa behind Snow Patrol was better, though still beaten five and a half lengths when unwanted in the market. Two wins and five places from twelve starts at this track and distance give him a base, but he must come back in sharper order.

Was below expectations at Morioka Dirt last start, finishing sixth to Little Something and beaten eight and a half lengths after conceding a huge start despite being near the top of betting. His second to the same winner two back, beaten three lengths as favourite, reads better and shows he can be competitive at this level. With two wins and four places from 18 starts at 1600m, he is a realistic place hope if he rebounds.

Finished fifth at Mizusawa last start, beaten just over nine lengths by Sanei Brave after having to make up too much ground and never threatening. His previous sixth at Morioka Dirt was weaker again, beaten over 14 lengths by Sol Estrella at big odds. The class setup may be more suitable, but he is unplaced in four attempts at the distance and needs a much stronger finish to trouble the main chances.
