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

Strong pace from Fortes and Fortissimo Dai pushing forward, along with Diva Dream from out wide. PRINCESS KNIGHT (9) is the runner with the clearest winning profile, arriving off successive 1200m wins at Morioka Dirt, the latest by three lengths as a dominant odds-on favourite. The rise to 1400m asks a little more, but her current form and outstanding record with Toshiya Yamamoto give her strong claims. CHIC SEIN (3) is the main danger, having finished fourth over 1600m at Mizusawa after being near the top of betting, and his record at both the track and distance reads well for this. VIGOUREUSEMENT (1) brings the best recent Mizusawa reference after being beaten half a length by Kaito Licht here, and another honest showing puts him right in the race. DIVA DREAM (11) has to rebound from a plain 1600m effort, but her Morioka Dirt win two back keeps her in the discussion if she handles 1400m better.

VIGOUREUSEMENT
YUJI SATO 8YO CHESTNUT GELDING 56.0KG KAJIMOTO Holdings Co. Ltd Went within half a length of Kaito Licht at Mizusawa last start in a 3yo+ C1, having been pipped at the post after a genuine late effort. That followed a third at Morioka Dirt when he was big odds but worked home late behind Cosmos Mitchi. His track-and-trip record is sound rather than dominant, and the distance remains a query, yet his current form makes him a serious winning chance. |

SPARROWS
YOSHIHARU OIKAWA 5YO DK B HORSE 56.0KG Worked home evenly for third at Mizusawa last start, but was still beaten just over seven lengths as a big-odds runner behind Spiritual. His previous fourth at Morioka Dirt was also safely held, beaten eight and a half lengths after only finding the line fairly. The track-and-trip record is a small positive, but recent margins leave him with plenty to find. |

CHIC SEIN
YUICHI OIKAWA 7YO CHESTNUT HORSE 56.0KG Dearest Club Co. Ltd. Led and held fourth over 1600m at Mizusawa last start, beaten just over four lengths after being near the top of betting. He had earlier started odds-on at Morioka Dirt and finished third in a 3yo+ C2, so the recent record is solid without being flawless. Back to 1400m looks suitable given six wins at the distance, and he is a major player third-up. |

FORTISSIMO DAI
MINORU MURAKAMI 4YO CHESTNUT HORSE 56.0KG Tadamasa Tamura Returns from a five-week freshening after a costly defeat at Morioka Dirt, where he was an odds-on favourite but faded late and finished fifth, well beaten by Magna Domus. The prior third behind Lost Ball was more respectable, and he has placed twice from three attempts at this track and distance. He can improve, but the last-start failure keeps him to place calculations. |
4 RYOTO TSUKAMOTO |

FORTES
YUICHI SAITO 6YO DK B HORSE 56.0KG Yoshizumi Iwasaki Returns from a one-month freshening after grinding into third over 1000m at Morioka Dirt, albeit beaten seven and a half lengths at big odds behind Fierte. His fourth there the start prior was similar, with effort but no real threat. The rise in trip is a genuine query given he is unplaced in two runs at 1400m, though Masatoshi Yamamoto has a strong record on him. |
5 MASATOSHI YAMAMOTO |

KIKKAKE
KOICHI SETO 6YO BAY MARE 54.0KG Toshiharu Nagashima Was beaten over 17 lengths at Mizusawa last start over 1600m and there was no clear excuse, with the finish simply not there. The run prior at Morioka Dirt was better, making up good ground when fourth behind Sakura Top Run. She owns plenty of track-and-trip placing form, but her low winning rate and last-start margin mean a clear lift is required. |
6 MAKOTO OTSUBO |

| 7 | 29867 |
Z THUNDER
YOSHIAKI KOBAYASHI 5YO BAY GELDING 56.0KG Forest Co. Ltd. Dropped out of contention when seventh in a 3yo+ B1 at Mizusawa last start, beaten over 13 lengths by Sol De Verano after offering little late. Two back he was a big-odds sixth at Morioka Dirt, fair through the line but always left with too much to do. The B1 form gives some class context, yet his current pattern needs a marked turnaround. |
7 YURI TAKAHASHI |

| 8 | 27674 |
GOLD HADITH
SAKAE ISHIKAWA 4YO DK B FILLY 54.0KG Hisayo Ishiro Picked up nicely in the straight when fourth at Mizusawa last week, but the bare result was still a seven-and-a-half-length defeat as a big-odds runner behind Spiritual. Her previous seventh at Morioka Dirt was also well held. One win and two places from six at this track and distance is useful background, but recent margins keep the bar high. |
8 REI IWAMOTO |

PRINCESS KNIGHT
SAKAE ISHIKAWA 5YO BAY MARE 54.0KG U.Kimura B. Returns from a one-month freshening in excellent form, having won by three lengths over 1200m at Morioka Dirt when a dominant odds-on favourite and beating Peptide Clematis. She had also scored in a 3yo+ C1 the run before, putting Eikai Sophia away by two and a half lengths. The rise to 1400m is the main question, but her form and jockey record make her hard to knock. |

INCEPTION
YOSHINORI ITAGAKI 6YO DK B HORSE 56.0KG Sandoya LLC. Led and worked home evenly when fifth at Morioka Dirt last start, but was beaten over 10 lengths as a big-odds runner behind Keep On Top. His first-up sixth behind Marukei Forte was closer without threatening. He is third-up now and has won with Tatsunori Sugawara, so improvement is possible, but he needs more substance to turn place claims into a winning case. |

DIVA DREAM
YOSHINORI ITAGAKI 5YO BAY MARE 54.0KG Had every chance over 1600m at Mizusawa last start and faded to sixth, beaten over 10 lengths behind Yamano Mataka after starting an outside chance in betting. She had looked much sharper two back, leading throughout to beat Aztlan over 1200m at Morioka Dirt as a prohibitive odds-on favourite. The 1400m record is the concern, so she needs a clean rebound. |

GRAFFIAS LADY
KOKI CHIBA 7YO BAY MARE 54.0KG Finished second last at Mizusawa last start and was well beaten as one of the outsiders, offering little once the pressure went on. Her earlier Morioka Dirt third behind Laser Speckle was far better, beaten two and a half lengths at an outside quote. Four wins at this track and distance deserve respect, but the latest run makes her hard to recommend with confidence. |
