Mizusawa Race 8 - Race 8 - 850
EXERCISE (5) brings the strongest winning profile after resuming at Mizusawa with a two and a half length win over 1400m as favourite, having also won here by seven lengths the run prior. The sharp return to 850m is the main question, but his current form gives him the clearest upside. LORD TWILIGHT (1) is the immediate danger after beating MEISHO MIZAO by a neck here two weeks ago and his distance record reads well. MEISHO MIZAO (4) had every chance as favourite but was only narrowly beaten, and his long Mizusawa 850m record keeps him firmly in calculations. NORTH PRIMA (8) is harder to trust after two heavy defeats, including as favourite last start, but the return to a distance where she has four wins and eleven placings gives her a place in the main chances rather than being dismissed.

Returned to winning form at Mizusawa last start, holding off Meisho Mizao by a neck after leading and fighting through a tight finish. The previous fifth at Morioka Dirt over 1200m was better than the market expected, beaten a length and a half after being unwanted in betting. Two wins and one placing from three starts at the distance add substance, and he looks a genuine winning chance again.

Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing fifth in a 3yo+ B2 over 1000m at Morioka Dirt, beaten four and a half lengths despite making late ground. She was also sixth over 1200m the run prior after being swamped late. The track-distance place record is strong, but the shorter trip asks for a sharper response than recent runs have produced.

Returns from a four-month break after two plain 1400m efforts, finishing second last at Mizusawa when beaten over 14 lengths and second last at Morioka Dirt when beaten over 12 lengths. She has won three from five at this track, so the venue is no issue, but the drop sharply in trip and lack of recent impact make this a demanding return.

Went within a neck of Lord Twilight at Mizusawa last start, travelling well just off the lead before being pipped as favourite. The prior sixth over 1000m at Morioka Dirt was less convincing, beaten just over five lengths after leading. His five wins and 18 placings from 44 starts at this track and distance are highly relevant, and he gets another strong opportunity to turn the tables.

Produced the best recent win in the field when resuming at Mizusawa over 1400m, scoring by two and a half lengths as favourite after putting the race away quickly. That followed a seven-length win here over the same trip at generous odds, so the form is hard to knock. The return to 850m is the clear query, but his current profile still makes him the runner to beat.

Closed off strongly for fourth in a 3yo+ C2 at Mizusawa last start, beaten three and a half lengths after being unwanted in the market. The run prior was plain when sixth here, beaten seven and a half lengths after failing to quicken. Two wins and one placing from seven starts at this track and distance give her a credible base for minor money.

Kept finding the line honestly when third behind Lord Twilight at Mizusawa last start, beaten a length and a half in an open market. He had earlier finished fourth at Morioka Dirt over 1200m, beaten just under a length at bigger odds. The recent consistency reads well enough for exotics, though he still has to reverse form through two key rivals.

Was expected to do more when favourite at Mizusawa last start, finishing fifth over 1600m and beaten nine and a half lengths after offering little late. She was also safely held in a 3yo+ COND at Morioka Dirt two back. The return to 850m is the positive, with four wins and eleven placings from 24 starts at the distance, but trust has to be earned back.

Dropped out sharply at Mizusawa last start, finishing last over 1400m and beaten a long way after sitting close enough to be competitive. The prior second-last at Morioka Dirt in a 3yo+ C2 was also plain after she led and was easily accounted for. A better jockey record helps, but her recent form and track-distance record leave plenty to fix.

Offered little when second last behind Lord Twilight at Mizusawa last start, beaten just over seven lengths at big odds. The start prior at Morioka Dirt was only marginally better, finishing eighth over 1200m and never looking a winning hope. She has placed three times from seven at this track and distance, but the winning profile remains thin.
