Mizusawa Race 9 - Race 9 - 1400
AL SHANTI (11) Good win by 1 1/4L last start at Morioka. Jockey Shinobu Murakami and trainer Chiba Kouki enjoy a strong success rate. Has the necessary speed to mitigate the wide draw. Can go on with it. KEEP ON TOP (8) Was agonizingly close last time at Morioka. Jockey Toshiya Yamamoto is a strong choice aboard. Worth a ticket. RIKO BLUE EYE (9) Was competitive when 3rd last start at Morioka. Producing consistent results this campaign. Will be giving the leaders a big start. Goes close. SASUKE BELLA (7) Was competitive when 3rd last start at Morioka. Key player.

Was safely held when seventh behind Sun Calypso at Morioka Dirt last start, beaten over 11 lengths after failing to come into the race. The start prior was more respectable when seventh over 1600m, beaten four and a half lengths, though he again lacked a sharp finish. A win from two starts at this track and the third-up setup help, but he looks more a place chance than a win threat.

Finished sixth behind Optics at Morioka Dirt last start, beaten five and a half lengths after only battling through the line. She had been eighth behind Sakura Top Mambo start prior and has been unplaced in all seven starts in the past 12 months. The return to 1400m brings her back to a winning distance, but current form leaves her with plenty to find.

Returns from a two-month break after finishing seventh at this track, beaten five and a half lengths, having led and been run down late over 1600m. Her previous second in C1 grade at this venue was far better, beaten a head after tracking the leader and fighting on. She is proven at this track and distance, but a sharper late effort is required.

Has finished fifth at his past two runs at Morioka Dirt, beaten seven lengths last start behind Sun Calypso and just under seven lengths behind Hinata before that. He did pick up in the straight on both occasions, and his broader record includes five wins and six places from 36 starts. Proven at this track and distance, but recent margins leave him chasing the main hopes.

Dropped out to finish eighth behind Sun Calypso at Morioka Dirt last start, beaten over 13 lengths after being close enough if good enough. That followed a seventh behind Hinata, beaten over 11 lengths, so the recent form is difficult to endorse. Her three wins and one place from nine starts at this track and distance give her a way back into the race, but she must turn the form around quickly.

Was beaten over 16 lengths when second last behind Hinata at Morioka Dirt last start, with the final effort plain after being within range. She had also been beaten over 11 lengths the run before despite being near the top of betting. Her track-and-distance record is sound and she has won with this jockey, but recent form makes her hard to support strongly.

Has been holding her form well, finishing third behind Sun Calypso at Morioka Dirt last start and second behind Shirakami Impulse the run prior. She has placed four times from four starts at this distance, which underlines her consistency, though she is still chasing a 1400m win. With solid recent form and a 50% career place rate, she profiles as a genuine placing hope.

Went within a nose of Snow Patrol at Morioka Dirt last start, hitting the line strongly after being well respected in betting. The start prior was also sound when fifth, beaten three and a half lengths, and he has a win from three attempts at this track and distance. His three wins from nine rides with Toshiya Yamamoto add further confidence, and he looks the horse they have to beat.

Worked home evenly for third behind Princess Knight over 1200m at Morioka Dirt last start, beaten just under four lengths while near the top of betting. Two back at Ohi in C1 grade he was well beaten but did finish strongly from a hopeless position. His career record is honest and he has placed at this distance, though this still looks a step up in depth.

Closed off nicely for fourth behind A Shin Bia Bia over 1000m at Morioka Dirt last start, beaten two lengths as a well-supported favourite. She was fair to the line over 1200m the run before, but returning to 1400m is a stronger fit on her record. With two wins and two places from nine starts at this track and distance, she has the right profile to improve sharply.

Won a B2 at Morioka Dirt last start over 1200m, beating Pensee by just over a length after being backed into very short odds-on territory. That followed a ninth in ALLOW company at Nakayama Dirt, so the local grade suited immediately. She has two wins from three starts at this distance and keeps Shinobu Murakami, which makes her a major danger again.
