Race 1 850m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Solid tempo with Phaistos possessing enough dash to find the front. GO GO ONLY (1) looks the clearest starting point after lifting sharply to run second at Mizusawa last week, beaten two lengths by Neo Ancora at big odds. The broader strike rate is modest, but two wins and eleven placings from 38 attempts at this track and distance give her the most reliable race-specific profile. PHAISTOS (4) is the main threat after a second to Escher and a close fifth at Mizusawa at her past two, with the market having kept her near the top of betting last start. KURINO SUCCESS (8) improved to fourth at Mizusawa last time and has a prior track win, though the run before was too poor to ignore. JE LE VOIS (2) has been safely held in two recent runs, but the class drop and two Mizusawa wins keep her in the minor-winning conversation if she finds a sharper finish.

GO GO ONLY
HITOSHI SAKAI 6YO DK B MARE 54.0KG Takehisa Yashima Lifted sharply at Mizusawa last week when second to Neo Ancora, beaten two lengths after being sent out at big odds and holding her spot to the turn. That was a clear rebound from finishing last over 1000m at Morioka Dirt, where she was beaten over 13 lengths. Her overall record is limited, but two wins and eleven placings from 38 starts at this track and distance make her a genuine winning player. |

JE LE VOIS
YUKICHI SUGAWARA 5YO DK B MARE 53.0KG Worked forward at Mizusawa last start but could only finish sixth over 1400m, beaten just over six lengths by Over The Top at long odds. The run prior was also plain in a 3yo+ C1 at Morioka Dirt, finishing second last after fading from a prominent spot. She has won twice at this track, but the drop to 850m is a genuine query, so place claims look stronger than the win case. |

HUOMENTA
TOMOKAZU TACHIBANA 4YO BAY FILLY 54.0KG Resumed at Mizusawa over 1400m and was beaten over 20 lengths, dropping out sharply after having every chance in running. That followed a second-last finish in a 3yo+ C1 at Morioka Dirt when beaten over 11 lengths despite being near the top of betting. Her career record is better than those runs suggest, but she has plenty to repair before becoming a serious factor. |

PHAISTOS
KOKI CHIBA 5YO BROWN MARE 54.0KG Backs up after finishing second to Escher at Mizusawa, beaten four lengths when near the top of betting and travelling well before only battling on. She had been fifth here the start prior, beaten three lengths at longer odds, so the recent form is holding together. With Shinobu Murakami booked and a solid 12-month profile, she looks one of the more dependable winning chances. |

MALODHEEP
YOSHIHARU OIKAWA 6YO CHESTNUT GELDING 56.0KG Silk Racing Co. Ltd. Was disappointing behind Neo Ancora at Mizusawa last week, finishing last and beaten over 11 lengths after settling back and failing to make ground. The previous run was more encouraging, closing late for third over 1000m at Morioka Dirt despite being unwanted in the market. His poor track-and-distance record is the knock, but a repeat of that Morioka effort would keep him around the minors. |

A SHIN CONPA
SAKAE ISHIKAWA 5YO CHESTNUT HORSE 56.0KG Eishindo Co. Ltd. Finished seventh at Mizusawa last start, beaten over 12 lengths by Kung Fu Dance after coming under pressure late. He had offered a little more in a 3yo+ B2 at Morioka Dirt before that, looming before finishing fourth and beaten just over eight lengths. The class drop helps and he has placed twice from four tries at the distance, but he must finish off better to be more than a place hope. |

ANZU BIJIN
MASAHIKO SATO 9YO BROWN MARE 50.0KG Tracked the speed at Mizusawa last week but could not finish it off, running sixth behind Neo Ancora and beaten four and a half lengths. That was better than her second-last finish here the run prior, though she was still beaten by Go Go Only and Phaistos last week. The 50kg helps and she has won at this track and distance, but recent form says she needs another lift. |

KURINO SUCCESS
JUN TAKAHASHI 6YO BAY MARE 54.0KG Hiroharu Kurimoto Improved at Mizusawa last start when fourth to Luna, beaten just over four lengths at generous odds after being close enough at the turn but unable to quicken. That was a major step forward from being beaten out of sight over 1400m at Morioka Dirt, so consistency remains the main reservation. A previous Mizusawa win and the latest improvement put her firmly among the better chances. |

FUKU REGULUS
KOJI SEKIMOTO 6YO CHESTNUT HORSE 56.0KG Was handy enough at Mizusawa last week but could not muster a challenge, finishing second last behind Neo Ancora and beaten just over eight lengths at big odds. He had also finished last here the start before, beaten just over nine lengths by Black Tornado. One win and seven placings from 30 starts at this track and distance are positives, but current form is holding him back. |

VAINQUEUR CITY
TORU SANNOMIYA 7YO DK B HORSE 56.0KG Yushun Horse Co. Ltd. Dropped out to finish last over 1400m at Mizusawa last week, beaten over 15 lengths by Bleu Chateau at big odds. His previous run was similar, finishing seventh over 1300m after holding a narrow lead before being swamped and easily accounted for. The record with Rei Iwamoto is a genuine plus, but the sharp drop to 850m still leaves him needing plenty to fall his way. |
