Third-up now after a plain eighth in B1 company at Mizusawa, where she was near the top of an open market but offered little late and was beaten over 14 lengths. The run prior at Niigata was sounder without being sharp, finishing seventh in a Mdn after sitting just off the lead. Class relief and barrier one help, but her maiden record keeps this to a rough each-way scenario.

Safely held in two recent 1400m runs, finishing sixth at this track last start after settling rearward and being beaten seven and a half lengths at big odds. Her fourth at Mizusawa prior was fair, but still came from a big-odds profile and left her seven lengths from Z Thunder. A prior win at this venue is some help, though she must lift sharply at 1200m.

Closed off into third behind Bee Barista at this venue last start, beaten two lengths at long odds over 1000m. He had also worked home nicely at Mizusawa over 850m in B1B2 company, so the finishing pattern is encouraging. The key support is his track-and-trip record, with two wins and one placing from five starts, making him a sound place hope with some upside.

Finished strongly for second to Bee Barista at this track last start, beaten a length and a half after being sent out favourite. That was a clear rebound from a second-last finish in a COND at this venue, where he was beaten over 15 lengths. His overall record is solid, but being unplaced in six starts at this distance makes him look more a place hope than a win anchor.

Put the race away comfortably at this venue last start, winning by a length from Futaiten Wheel over 1400m as favourite. He had been sound enough in B1 grade at Mizusawa two back, beaten just over four lengths at generous odds, and he also has a recent head-to-head edge over Terute. The 1200m record is a query, but current form gives him a strong winning chance.

Made it count at this track last start, beating Rikea Sable by a length and a half over 1000m after starting an outside chance in the betting. His previous B1B2 fourth at Mizusawa was also respectable, beaten three lengths by Gorgeous Lady. Third-up now and proven at this track and distance, he has the race fitness and recent form to take beating again.

Comments

Turned around a plain Mizusawa run with a strong win at this venue last start, scoring by a length and a half over 1000m at long odds. The concern is that his ninth two back was poor, beaten over 15 lengths after having too much to do. Four wins this season command respect, but his 1200m record suggests he is better treated as a placing chance.

Well beaten in stronger B1 company at his past two, finishing tenth at this track last start when beaten over 13 lengths after giving away too much ground. The run prior at Mizusawa was worse again, finishing a distant last after weakening badly. He has won at this venue before, but recent form leaves him with plenty to find.

Second-up after a first-up seventh at this track, where he was unwanted in the market and beaten seven and a half lengths despite working home fairly. His final run before the break was also well held at this venue. The positive is a strong small-sample track-and-trip record, but his recent race shape and market profile make him hard to trust.

Returns from a four-month break after ending last preparation with a two-length win at this venue as favourite, letting down well and holding something in reserve. Her earlier B1 sixth at Mizusawa was below that level, but she has two wins from two starts at this track and a deep 1200m record. Fresh, she profiles as a genuine place chance if ready to go.

Comments

Comes off a determined win at this venue, scoring by a neck over 1400m as odds-on favourite after being prominent late when it mattered. Her previous second to Sun Calypso at Mizusawa was another solid run, and the track-and-trip record reads particularly well with two wins and one placing from four starts. She brings the strongest overall profile and is the one they have to beat.

Comments

Returns on a quick back-up after finishing fifth in C1 grade at this track, beaten six lengths as favourite but still making some late ground. His Mizusawa second prior was honest enough, though again he was six lengths from Black Tornado. The career record is strong, but three unplaced runs at this venue and a modest 1200m record temper the enthusiasm.
