Mizusawa Race 2 - Race 2 - 1300
SANEI CANNON (2) is the top pick despite a disappointing second-last at Mizusawa when well found in an open market. His broader profile is stronger than most of these, with six career wins, prior Mizusawa success and the C2 setting giving him the right platform to rebound. GLOW (8) is the main danger on assessed chance, having improved from a heavy defeat to finish fifth behind Rare Gryphon, and his one placing from three tries at this track and distance keeps him in the discussion. HOLLYANNE (3) comes back from B1 and B2 assignments at Morioka, which reads well for this level, though recent margins and her winless past 12 months temper confidence. SATONO MEDUSA (4) is the most reliable recent finisher of the quartet, with a fourth and fifth at Mizusawa, and she recently had GLOW covered. The query is whether she can turn those honest finishes into a winning one.

Returns from a lengthy spell after two plain 3yo+ C1 runs at Morioka Dirt, the latest when last over 1000m behind Lord Twilight and beaten over 17 lengths after settling rearward. She had also finished last behind Itemae Dasen, beaten over 18 lengths at big odds. The class drop is some help, but the rise in trip and recent form leave her with plenty to find.

Was below expectations at Mizusawa last start, finishing second last behind Hishi Taycan after being near the top of an open market and offering little in the straight. His previous 3yo+ C1 run at Morioka Dirt was more respectable, beaten just under six lengths by Bel Best Runner. A proven Mizusawa winner with a stronger overall record than most here, he can bounce back if that last run is put behind him.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing sixth in a 3yo+ B1 over 1700m at Morioka, beaten ten lengths by Precious Asset at long odds. The run prior was tougher to like, last in a 3yo+ B2 and beaten over 18 lengths. Dropping back to C2 grade helps, but the 1300m set-up and winless past 12 months keep her in the minor-money lane.

Worked into a fair recent pattern without winning, finishing fifth at Mizusawa last start when beaten seven lengths by S C Yamato after racing just off the speed and only battling. Two back she was fourth here behind Rare Gryphon and beaten five and a half lengths. She also had Glow covered recently, but an unplaced track-and-distance record says she is more reliable place hope than clear winning threat.

Finished ninth at Mizusawa six days ago, beaten over 15 lengths by S C Yamato after settling rearward and starting among the outsiders. The run prior was no better, seventh behind Rare Gryphon and beaten over 17 lengths after weakening badly late. Still a maiden after 35 starts and unplaced in six tries at this track and distance, he needs a major lift.

Was second last at Mizusawa last start, beaten over 19 lengths behind S C Yamato after settling rearward. That followed a last placing behind Rare Gryphon, where he was well beaten by 22 lengths and never in the picture. The winning rider returns, but a 102-start maiden record and no recent spark make him very hard to recommend.

Made little impact at Mizusawa last start, finishing seventh behind S C Yamato and beaten over 12 lengths after settling rearward. She had been last behind Hishi Taycan here the run before, beaten over 16 lengths after coming under pressure late. A maiden after 30 starts and unplaced in all 16 runs over the past year, she must show something new.

Improved on a heavy defeat when fifth at Mizusawa last start, beaten nine and a half lengths by Rare Gryphon after coming under pressure late. The prior second-last behind Combat Taurus was poor, but this C2 looks more within reach and his career record shows three wins and 13 placings. A placing from three starts at this track and distance adds some support, so he is a realistic danger if he holds that latest level.
