Niigata Race 11 - Hokuriku Stakes
SATONO WAGNER (15) Romped home to win last run at Sapporo. Can't knock the form winning 3 on the bounce. Shows good early pace. Must respect in this event. HAPPY ANGEL (8) Proven record first up. Ran over the top of them when winning last time at Fukushima. One of the major players. POD LOIRE (17) Outpaced some runners late when 4th last run at Nakayama. Will be competitive. MEISHO SEIRO (14) First up from a break. Faded away to finish 15th last run at Kyoto. Looks to be value.

Returns from a three-month break after a plain G3 Ibis Summer Dash run at this track, finishing second last behind Puro Magic and beaten eight and a half lengths at long odds. His earlier Fukushima fifth behind Meisho Yozora was more competitive, and he has three wins from seven starts at around 1200m. The fresh run has to be sharper, but his distance record keeps him in the place mix.

Back after two months since finishing seventh at Chukyo, beaten just over three lengths by Burgtor after failing to finish it off. He had been fourth at Fukushima before that, and his broader 1200m profile is sound with three wins and six placings from 19 starts. The concern is no placing from eight runs in the past year, so he appeals more as a place chance than a winner.

Returns from a lengthy spell after finishing 11th at Hanshin in an ALLOW, beaten seven and a half lengths by Mitono Orfe when unable to make headway. His Kokura third behind Jasper Divine two back was more encouraging, and he is a two-time winner at around 1200m. Even so, eight months off and limited recent impact mean he has to find a fair bit more.

Returns from a three-month break after being beaten over 10 lengths at Kokura, where she settled handy but offered little in the straight. That followed a seventh at the same venue, beaten just over seven lengths, so the recent form is thin. Three career wins at around 1200m are some support, but she must produce a major turnaround to threaten this field.

Returns off a six-week let-up after a strong first-up third at Nakayama, beaten just over a length by Pax Romana despite being unwanted in the market. She beat Pod Loire home there and has three wins and two placings from 13 starts around 1200m. The Kyoto run before the break was plain, but her fresh effort gives her the best current case and she can go right on with it.

Returns from a three-month freshening after finishing fourth at this track over 1000m, beaten just over six lengths by Cowslip when she held a handy spot but did not go on. Her Kokura third before that was better, only run down late behind Koseki. With two wins and six placings from 14 tries around 1200m and a strong record with Kazuki Kikuzawa, she has a genuine winning profile.

Returns from a four-month spell after finishing second last at Fukushima, beaten just over five lengths by Meisho Yozora at long odds. He was also second last at Tokyo two back, beaten eight and a half lengths, and has only three wins from 59 starts overall. Past 1200m wins give him some grounding, but recent form leaves him with plenty to overturn.

Returns from a three-month break off a good Fukushima win, beating Seiun Deseo by just under two lengths after tracking the speed and being near the top of betting. The run before was a heavy G1 NHK Mile Cup defeat, but that came in much deeper company over 1600m. Two wins from three at around 1200m and a win from one at this track make her a major player fresh.

Returns from a five-month break after two honest 1000m runs at this track, finishing fourth in Open company behind Ecoro Regina and fifth in an ALLOW behind Schlaf. Those margins were respectable, but she remains winless from six starts in the past 12 months and now resumes as a seven-year-old. She can run respectably without looking a key winning hope.

Returns from a three-month freshening after a 13th at this track, beaten just over five lengths by Piko Rose when lacking a change of gears late. The Hakodate run before that was better, beaten three lengths after picking up nicely in the straight. His two wins and two placings from nine starts around 1200m give him place claims if he finds that earlier finish.

Back after two months since a 13th at Chukyo, beaten just over five lengths by Burgtor at long odds despite working home fairly. He had made a similar late move at Kokura two back, but again never looked likely to feature. With no wins or placings from five starts around 1200m, this shapes as a difficult assignment against sharper rivals.

Returns from a three-month break after a Sapporo tenth behind Logi Cape, beaten just under five lengths when never a chance but working home fairly. Her Hakodate fourth the run prior was stronger, beaten a length and a half by Marble Palace. She has won at this track, yet six unplaced runs in the past year temper the winning case.

Returns from a three-month break after an eighth at Kokura, beaten just over nine lengths by Koseki despite being near the top of an open market. The Kyoto run before that was weaker still, beaten over 11 lengths by Lucido. His three wins at around 1200m and solid good-track record are positives, but recent form asks for a clear rebound.

Returns from a five-month break after finishing 15th at Kyoto in an ALLOW, beaten just over six lengths by Smart Weiss when never a winning hope. His earlier Kokura win over Tokai Erde showed his better side, and his overall record of three wins and three placings from ten starts is sound. First-up, he is capable of better, but the latest run makes him hard to trust.

Back after two months having completed a hat-trick at Sapporo, beating Fabulous Star by a neck as favourite after also scoring there by two lengths the start before. He is unbeaten from three starts at around 1200m and has built a strong record across the past 12 months. This is a deeper race, but the winning habit and distance profile demand serious respect.

Returns from a three-month freshening after finishing ninth at this track, beaten just over four lengths by Piko Rose when only fair through the line. She had also been ninth at Hakodate, beaten three and a half lengths, so the recent form lacks a strong edge. A previous win at this venue helps, but her 1200m record is a clear concern.

Returns off a six-week let-up after finishing fourth at Nakayama, beaten two and a half lengths by Pax Romana, with Meisho Peace just ahead of him. His Chukyo fifth before that had merit as a well-supported favourite, beaten just under two lengths by Burgtor after closing well. A strong record at this track and solid turf profile keep him right in the race.

Returns from a three-month break after a ninth at Chukyo over 1600m, beaten just under three lengths by Hawaiian Tiare when never a winning hope. His Kokura second two back behind Koseki was more competitive and he has placed at his only start around 1200m. Even so, he has not won in the past year and must sharpen up to trouble these.
