Mizusawa Race 4 - Race 4 - 1400
PAKARA PAKARA (1) earns top billing after winning here last start in 3yo C2 company, scoring by half a length from Hapina Star at generous odds. The reservation is that his previous run at Morioka Dirt was plain when heavily backed at very short odds, but the return to Mizusawa clearly sparked improvement. G T HIRARI (5) has the most reliable recent two-run profile, winning strongly at Morioka Dirt before running second to Namura Degas, and the rider-horse record adds substance. SHINY BLUE (7) is the classier fresh question: she resumes after ten months with three placings from five starts and prior form around Aquanaut and Masano Lily, though she still has to convert. ANDERSTORP (8) comes off a decisive Morioka Dirt win over 1200m and deserves respect, but the rise to 1400m asks a new question after mixed earlier form.

Made sharp improvement at Mizusawa last start, winning a 3yo C2 by half a length from Hapina Star after starting at generous odds. That was a better guide than his Morioka Dirt run prior, when seventh to Storm Eye after being heavily supported into very short odds-on territory. Drawn to use his natural speed and already a winner here, he has the right profile to go close again.

Finished strongly for second at Mizusawa last start, beaten a neck by Satono Trinity as the well-supported favourite. The concern is that he was also a prohibitive odds-on favourite two back at Morioka Dirt and could only manage fourth behind Bee Stunning. He is knocking on the door, but a winless record from eight starts keeps him more in the minor-money bracket.

Improved at Morioka Dirt last start when fourth to Happy Karn, beaten just under two lengths after settling rearward and making some ground. That was a clear step forward from being tailed off behind Never Look Back at the same venue. Still a maiden after 10 starts and new to Mizusawa, so she shapes as a place prospect rather than a confident winning play.

Led at Mizusawa last start but weakened to finish seventh, beaten over 13 lengths by Schnee Dream when unwanted in the market. The run prior was no better, finishing last at Morioka Dirt and beaten over 15 lengths. Her record at this track and distance is also poor, so a major form turnaround is required.

Held her form at Morioka Dirt last start when second to Namura Degas, beaten two and a half lengths after looming and fighting on without seriously threatening. That followed a soft 3yo C2 win over 1200m, where she beat Ange Rio by three lengths. With one win and one placing from two rides for Makoto Otsubo, she brings a solid winning case if she can stretch that form to Mizusawa.

Was sixth at Mizusawa last start, beaten over 10 lengths by Schnee Dream despite being near the top of an open market. Her previous fifth at Morioka Dirt had more merit, beaten two and a half lengths by Happy Karn after picking up in the straight. Even so, she is unplaced from five starts at this distance and needs more authority late.

Returns from a lengthy spell, having finished second at Mizusawa behind Aquanaut in a 2yo COND, beaten just under two lengths as favourite. She had also been runner-up at Mombetsu, beaten a length by Masano Lily after leading and being run down late. The absence is the obvious query, but three placings from five starts give her a sound base for a fresh run.

Produced a strong turnaround at Morioka Dirt last start, winning a 3yo C2 over 1200m by just under two lengths from La La Clochette after giving herself plenty to do. That followed a tenth at Urawa behind Ashaka Lucca when she conceded a big start and never entered the race. The rise to 1400m is the question, but she has earned respect as a place hope.

Finished last at Mizusawa last start, beaten over 18 lengths by Schnee Dream after settling a long way back and making no impression. He was also last at Morioka Dirt two back behind Taisei Perfume at big odds. With no wins from 12 starts and recent form well below the required level, others make far stronger appeal.

Ran fourth at Mizusawa last start but was beaten over 16 lengths by Kitano Ayaka, so the finishing position flatters the performance. Two back at Morioka Dirt he was seventh to Happy Karn, beaten four and a half lengths after having plenty to do. He gets a leading rider back aboard, yet the 1400m record leaves him with plenty to prove.
