Mizusawa Race 6 - Race 6 - 1400
KITANO AYAKA (8) sets the standard after putting two wins together, most recently scoring by five lengths over 1400m at Mizusawa after being well found in betting. That followed a four-length 1200m win at Morioka Dirt, so she brings the sharpest recent winning profile. MORETSU (2) resumes after a two-month break, which is the obvious query, but his record remains strong: two wins and one placing from six starts, with a prior 3yo C2 win before being safely held second as odds-on favourite in 3yo C1 company. HAPPY KARN (5) is the danger with consecutive neck wins at Morioka Dirt, including one over this trip, and his record with Makoto Otsubo is perfect from two starts. KITANOLESCLEFSD'OR (6) has the place edge on consistency, having won by four lengths two back before a solid third here, though she may need another step to turn that into a win.

Closed strongly for fourth over 1400m at Mizusawa last start, beaten just under three lengths by Laphetye after looking unlikely to get involved. She had also finished fourth at Morioka Dirt as favourite, beaten three and a half lengths by Sister Black after settling rearward. The finish is encouraging, but she still has to turn honest minor form into a sharper winning performance.

Returns from a lengthy spell after finishing second in a 3yo C1 over 1400m at Morioka Dirt, beaten two and a half lengths by Murude as odds-on favourite and safely held. The start prior was much stronger, winning a 3yo C2 at Morioka Dirt by just under two lengths from Goud Veel after heavy market support. Proven at the trip and effective for Ryo Takamatsu, he can rebound if forward enough.

Was well beaten at Mizusawa last start, finishing seventh over 1400m and beaten over 13 lengths by Taisei Gosh after settling prominently and fading late. His previous third at Morioka Dirt, beaten two and a half lengths, reads better, and he has won at this track before. Even so, the latest run leaves him with a clear task to regain trust.

Drops back from two 1700m runs at Morioka, the latest a fourth in 3yo COND company when beaten six and a half lengths by Rouge Astrea after being unwanted in the market. She was fifth the start prior, beaten seven and a half lengths, having led and been run down late. First look at Mizusawa is a variable, but this is a more suitable place-shaping assignment than a win statement.

Has put together consecutive 3yo C2 wins at Morioka Dirt, most recently beating Leon Antha by a neck over 1400m as favourite after settling back and finishing over the top. He also came from a long way off to win over 1200m at big odds two back. One win from two at the distance and two wins from two with Makoto Otsubo make him a genuine threat again.

Held her ground for third at Mizusawa last start, beaten two and a half lengths by Taisei Gosh after sitting close enough and sticking on without quite matching the winner. That followed a dominant 3yo C2 win at Morioka Dirt, where she beat Leon Antha by four lengths as a prohibitive odds-on favourite. Reliable recent form keeps her in the mix, though the win edge is not as clear this time.

Has been well held in both recent runs, finishing second last at Mizusawa over 1400m and beaten over 13 lengths by Taisei Gosh after making no late impression. She was also second last at Morioka Dirt, beaten over 12 lengths by Seeking The Birth when unwanted in betting. A past track-and-distance placing is only minor consolation while her current form remains this plain.

Produced the best last-start win in the race when scoring by five lengths over 1400m at Mizusawa, beating Sakura Beau Belle after letting down quickly. That came on the back of a four-length 1200m win at Morioka Dirt, so she arrives with clear momentum and a perfect record with Rei Iwamoto. The rise from 3yo C2 company is the test, but the manner of those wins makes her the one to beat.

Caught the eye late for fifth at Mizusawa last start, but was still beaten just over seven lengths by Taisei Gosh after being unwanted in the market. The run prior at Morioka Dirt was another fifth, beaten just over four lengths by Sister Black when unable to quicken. She has placed at this track and won at the distance, yet recent form says she needs to find more.

Finished last at Mizusawa last start, beaten over 13 lengths by Taisei Gosh at big odds after giving away too much ground and never threatening. His previous eighth at Morioka Dirt was also plain, beaten eight and a half lengths by Sister Black when unwanted in betting. A track-and-distance win is noted, but current form leaves him well behind the main hopes.

Worked home evenly for second at Mizusawa last start, beaten just over a length by Laphetye after being near the top of betting. He had been pipped at the post when third to Happy Karn at Morioka Dirt the start prior, beaten a long neck, so the form is honest. Still a maiden after seven starts, but four placings show he is a credible place chance again.
