Mizusawa Race 1 - Race 1 - 850
M T WALTZ (10) sets the standard after a much better third behind Vip Regius at Mizusawa last week, beaten two and a half lengths after being well found in betting. The sharp rebound from a poor 1300m run is the right profile for this C2. LOVE MANIC (9) is the main danger, with her seventh in 3yo+ C1 company reading better than it looks because she was only beaten three and a half lengths and had earlier been a close third at Morioka Dirt. GOLDEN SYRUP (7) brings the best last-start margin of the key chances, finishing third over 1300m here, though the drop to 850m is the question. MAY STORM (1) has been beaten heavily at his past two, but the return to this shorter trip and proven distance record keep him in the minor-money mix.

Has been well held at his past two, finishing second last at Mizusawa over 1300m last start when beaten over 14 lengths by Fuku Taoyuan after failing to come into the race. The run prior was no better in 3yo+ B1 company at Morioka Dirt. The shorter trip and three wins at the distance help, but his 12-month form keeps the winning case guarded.

Was seventh at Mizusawa last week, beaten just over eight lengths by Vip Regius after settling well back and making no impression. Her fifth to Luna two starts ago was more competitive, but she was still beaten just under five lengths at generous odds. Five placings from 22 starts at this track and distance offer some background, yet she needs a sharper finish.

Resumed with an eighth at Mizusawa, beaten over 17 lengths by Escher after settling back and failing to make ground. Her previous run at Morioka Dirt over 1000m was also plain, finishing sixth and beaten over 12 lengths when unwanted in the market. Still unplaced from ten starts overall and must produce a new level second-up.

Made some late ground from well back when sixth behind Vip Regius at Mizusawa last week, but was still beaten just over six lengths and never seriously threatened. He had also finished sixth here the start prior, beaten nine and a half lengths as an outsider. The class drop helps in theory, but the 29-start maiden record is difficult to ignore.

Dropped out to eighth behind Vip Regius at Mizusawa last week, beaten just over eight lengths after racing handy early. Her third to Luna the start prior was more encouraging, beaten four lengths after pressing forward and only being run down late. A prior win at this track and distance keeps her in the place discussion, but she must rebound quickly.

Improved to fifth behind Vip Regius at Mizusawa last week, beaten just over four lengths, though she had every chance after settling close enough and did not go on with it. The previous run was a distant seventh behind Escher on fast ground. Her overall place record is respectable, but she needs to turn recent fairness into a stronger closing effort.

Rebounded strongly at Mizusawa last start, finishing third over 1300m and beaten a length and a half by Rare Gryphon after racing right there and fighting on. That was a sharp turnaround from his last placing in 3yo+ COND grade at Morioka, where he was beaten over 17 lengths at big odds. The drop to 850m is the query, but the latest run puts him right in this.

Led narrowly before being swamped over 1300m at Mizusawa last week, finishing sixth and beaten over 11 lengths by S C Yamato. Two starts back she was fifth behind Escher, beaten just over nine lengths after keeping on from the rear. Her place claims rely on this being softer, because a 44-start maiden record leaves little room for confidence.

Was only beaten three and a half lengths when seventh in 3yo+ C1 company at Mizusawa last start, and the market gave her some respect in an open race. Her previous third over 1200m at Morioka Dirt was stronger again, beaten just over a length after working into the money. With 52kg and reliable recent C1 form, she has a solid winning case if sharp enough back at this trip.

Bounced back at Mizusawa last week, finishing third behind Vip Regius and beaten two and a half lengths after travelling well and working home into the placings. That was a clear improvement on her second-last over 1300m here, where she led narrowly and was beaten over 15 lengths. Backing up quickly, she brings the strongest recent effort and should be hard to beat.
