MIZUSAWA   22 Sep 2026
 
GOING:

Race 2 850m

Track:      

High Mobility and On The Radio possess good early speed and will set a genuine tempo. KUNG FU DANCE (2) sets the standard after winning at Mizusawa by just over a length over 1400m, with a proven local record adding substance to that performance. The drop back to 850m is the one question, but the latest win reads strongly for this C2. ROBARIA NO KISEKI (3) is the main danger on consistency, having run second at her past two starts here and already holding a recent edge over Primo Joker. She has placed three times from three attempts at this track and distance, which keeps her right in the contest. PRIMO JOKER (8) brings honest recent form, including a half-length second two back and a third last start, though she must turn around that Robaria No Kiseki matchup. ON THE RADIO (10) is the next winning hope, third-up with 52kg and a last-start fourth at Mizusawa that was a clear step in the right direction after a plain Morioka run.

Back after four weeks, the recent 3yo+ B1 form is difficult to recommend. Finished last at Morioka Dirt behind Waganse, beaten over 19 lengths at long odds, after leading two back before weakening into second last behind Satono Butler. The class drop gives him some relief and he has placed at this distance, but he needs a sharp turnaround to be competitive.

Silk Racing Co. Ltd.
Returned to winning form at Mizusawa last start, beating Star Admiral by just over a length after taking control and maintaining the margin to the line. That was a clear rebound from a plain ninth in 3yo+ B2 company at Morioka Dirt. She has three wins from 12 starts at this track and races handy enough to use the low draw, though the drop back from 1400m is the main query.

KOJI SAKURADA
4YO  CHESTNUT  FILLY 54.0KG

Has built a strong recent platform with consecutive seconds at Mizusawa, beaten two lengths by Fierte last week after travelling well and fighting on. The run prior was another sound second behind Black Tornado, beaten a length and a half. She also beat Primo Joker here last week and has placed in all three runs at this track and distance, so the winning case is genuine.

TSUKASA YOSHIDA
7YO  BAY  MARE 54.0KG

Has a useful Mizusawa 850m record, with two wins and two places from 16 attempts, but the last two runs make her hard to push. She was second last at Morioka Dirt over 1000m, beaten over 10 lengths at big odds, after finishing sixth there and beaten over 12 lengths. The return to a proven course helps, yet recent form says she must improve sharply.

YUICHI SAITO
7YO  DK B  HORSE 52.0KG

Comes back from 1400m after finishing seventh at Mizusawa, beaten over 16 lengths by Annindofu, despite having his chance in running. The previous run was also plain when tenth at Morioka Dirt, beaten over 11 lengths and unwanted in the market. He gets in with 52kg and has won here before, but the 850m record is a firm concern.

Stayed in the mix when fourth at Mizusawa last week, beaten three and a half lengths by Neo Ancora, although she did not quite finish the race off. That followed a more decisive local win when beating Heart Loop by three lengths after being unwanted in betting. A previous track-and-distance win keeps her in the minor-money picture, but she needs to reproduce her best.

8YO  GREY  HORSE 55.0KG

Lifted on recent efforts when fourth in a 3yo+ C1 at Mizusawa last start, beaten just over two lengths by Description after racing prominently. That was stronger than his Morioka Dirt seventh over 1200m behind Yamasho Shine. His four wins and seven places from 33 starts at this track and distance are a solid base for another top-three push.

Continues to hold form, finishing third at Mizusawa last week behind Fierte when beaten just over three lengths after being near the top of betting. She had also run second here over 1400m, beaten half a length by Uwasano Dekopin. The concern is the recent loss to Robaria No Kiseki, but four wins and ten places at the distance give her a strong each-way profile.

Produced a better closing effort when fifth in a 3yo+ C1 at Mizusawa last week, beaten two and a half lengths by Description after settling rearward. Her previous Morioka Dirt fifth behind Yamasho Shine was also respectable without threatening. The issue is the 850m record, with no placings from two tries, so she needs another step forward.

Improved sharply second-up when fourth at Mizusawa behind Black Tornado, beaten two and a half lengths at long odds. That was a clear correction on the Morioka Dirt tenth over 1000m, where she was near the top of betting but beaten over 13 lengths. Third-up, with 52kg and a leading trainer, she has enough positives to press for a placing.
