Race 3 1300m Track: |

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

Without an obvious leader, it may be left to Marions Nous, Nande Festive and Ras Dashen to control the tempo. MEINER EVINCE (2) has the best recent form, finishing second here over 1300m and just 1.5 lengths behind Hishi Taycan after being well regarded in the market. The shift from a lackluster Morioka Dirt run puts him ahead, though he needs to convert his placing into a win. NANDE FESTIVE (5) poses the main threat based on rating and suitability, having bettered her fifth-place finish here with a prior C1 effort at Morioka Dirt, but she must improve after being beaten by six and a half lengths as a market contender. MARIONS NOUS (6) shows solid place potential, with two placings from two starts at this distance, though she was over 11 lengths behind as the favorite last time, making her hard to back. MIKKI HUSTLE (9) improved significantly, finishing fourth behind S C Yamato and is the value pick, but his winless streak and unplaced record at the trip leave him slightly behind the top pair.

LUSTER CANNON
HIROKI SAKURADA 6YO BAY MARE 54.0KG Was never in the picture at Mizusawa six days ago, finishing seventh behind Gold Jumper and beaten over 20 lengths after giving away too much ground. That followed a tenth in a 3yo+ C4 at Mombetsu, where she was beaten just under eight lengths at big odds. The class drop and rider change offer some support, but the 1300m record and recent form leave plenty to prove. |
1 SHINOBU MURAKAMI |

MEINER EVINCE
KOJI SAKURADA 10YO CHESTNUT GELDING 56.0KG Takaaki Nagami Produced the clear turnaround last start when second at Mizusawa, beaten a length and a half by Hishi Taycan after knuckling down strongly from a tricky position. His previous Morioka Dirt effort over 1600m was poor, finishing second last and beaten over 17 lengths at long odds, so consistency remains the only real caution. With 15 career wins and a recent placing at this track, he sets a solid standard. |

SPECULATOR
YOSHIHARU OIKAWA 7YO BAY HORSE 56.0KG Yuki Dendo Made no impact at Mizusawa last start, finishing ninth behind Mozu Gold Medal and beaten out of sight after settling a long way off them. The run prior was no better, with a last placing in a 3yo+ C1 at Kasamatsu over 800m, beaten over 16 lengths. Three wins from 49 starts gives some background, but the current form says others are far safer. |

ROULETTE
HITOSHI SAKAI 6YO BAY MARE 54.0KG Worked fairly to the line when fourth at Mizusawa last start, beaten seven and a half lengths by Hishi Taycan, but she was at long odds and never looked a winning threat. Two back she was beaten a long way behind Asterope after conceding a huge start. Her four wins at this track and distance are important, yet recent efforts still demand a stronger finishing response. |
4 RYOTO TSUKAMOTO |

| 5 | 75465 |
NANDE FESTIVE
HIROMICHI IIDA 7YO BAY MARE 54.0KG Kazuma Usui Was respected in the market here last start but could manage only fifth behind Fuku Taoyuan, beaten six and a half lengths after being prominent. The run prior at Morioka Dirt in 3yo+ C1 company had more merit, finishing sixth but only beaten three and a half lengths while working home evenly. She owns a win at the distance and profiles as a genuine winning threat if she finishes off with more purpose. |
5 RYO KOBAYASHI |
|
| 6 | 95473 |
MARIONS NOUS
TOMOKAZU TACHIBANA 7YO BAY MARE 54.0KG Yuto Taniguchi Placed at Mizusawa last start but the margin tells the story, finishing third behind Asterope and beaten over 11 lengths as favourite after being in striking range but unable to quicken. Her previous 3yo+ B1 run at Morioka over 1700m was also plain, beaten over 10 lengths. Two placings from two runs at this distance help, so she shapes more as a minor-money prospect than a confident win play. |
6 MAKOTO OTSUBO |

GRACE IRIS
HITOSHI SAKAI 5YO BROWN MARE 54.0KG Kineusu B. Finished a distant last at Mizusawa six days ago behind Mozu Gold Medal after settling rearward, and there was no obvious excuse in the run. She had already been beaten out of sight here by Sirius the start prior when unwanted in the market. Past track-and-trip success is noted, but her current pattern leaves her needing a substantial lift to get involved. |
7 MASATOSHI YAMAMOTO |
|
| 8 | 50745 |
RAS DASHEN
Akira Kimura 5YO DK B MARE 52.0KG Takanobu Kuwahata Was safely held at Mizusawa last start, finishing fifth behind Mozu Gold Medal and beaten over 20 lengths after lacking the dash to be competitive. Her previous fourth behind Sirius was more encouraging, beaten just over seven lengths while battling on well. The 52kg impost and strong record with Reika Sekimoto help her place case, but the long winless recent record is a genuine restraint. |
8 REIKA SEKIMOTO |

| 9 | x5064 |
MIKKI HUSTLE
YUICHI OIKAWA 9YO DK B GELDING 56.0KG Mizuki Noda Improved last start when fourth at Mizusawa behind S C Yamato, beaten three lengths after looming before failing to finish it off. That was a better effort than his sixth here behind Hishi Taycan, where he was near the top of an open market but beaten over 10 lengths. He has the right recent run to claim a placing, though the 1300m record and past 12 months temper the win case. |
