Just a modest pace in store without noted speed runners engaged. SIRIUS (6) brings the clearest last-start platform after winning at Mizusawa, where he was heavily supported into very short odds-on territory and beat Gold Jumper by just over a length. ASTEROPE (10) is the main threat on recent performance, having won by five lengths here after starting near the top of betting, though she is coming off a sharp turnaround from a plain Morioka Dirt run two starts ago. MORDDURE (3) resumes from a four-month break, but his last two C1 efforts at Morioka Dirt were sound enough to make him dangerous in this grade if ready. FLOWER COMPANY (11) has the place profile, with a strong track-and-distance record and a last-start second, but she still needs to bridge the gap to the two last-start winners.

CHARIS THEIA
HIROKI SAKURADA 4YO BAY FILLY 52.0KG Normandy Thoroughbred Racing Co. Ltd. Finished last at Mizusawa a week ago, beaten a long way by Lucky Story after settling rearward, and the market had no interest. That followed an eighth here when beaten over 12 lengths by Kung Fu Dance after getting too far back and making no impression. She has placed three times from eight at this track and distance, but remains winless after 21 starts and needs a major turnaround. |

WIN PERCEE
TOMOKAZU TACHIBANA 6YO CHESTNUT HORSE 56.0KG Win Co. Ltd. Worked home from a hopeless spot when fourth at Mizusawa last start, beaten just under six lengths by Over The Top at long odds. His previous run was a plain second last in a 3yo+ C1 over 1600m at Morioka Dirt, beaten over 11 lengths by Sakura Mau. The career record is sound, though this season has been barren, so he shapes more as a minor-money hope than a reliable winner. |

MORDDURE
KAZUMUNE ITO 6YO GREY HORSE 56.0KG Kyoto Horse Racing Co. Ltd. Returns from a four-month break after a solid third in a 3yo+ C1 at Morioka Dirt, beaten three and a half lengths by Gold Hadith when working home evenly. He had also been fair to the line two back when fourth, beaten just under five lengths by Lord Absolute in the same grade. The distance remains a small query, but the class relief and reliable recent profile put him firmly in the race. |

DOUBLE STEAL
YUICHI SAITO 4YO BAY FILLY 50.0KG Nobuo Egawa Worked home fairly from well back when sixth at Mizusawa last start, but was still beaten eight lengths by Kung Fu Dance and never looked a winning chance. The run prior was more concerning, finishing ninth at Morioka Dirt after starting near the top of betting. Her light weight and distance record offer some support, yet she must sharpen noticeably to trouble the main chances. |

METCHA SOUTHERN
SAKAE ISHIKAWA 5YO BAY HORSE 56.0KG Tracked the lead over 850m at Mizusawa last start before battling into eighth, beaten seven lengths by Neo Ancora at long odds. Two back he was ninth over 1000m at Morioka Dirt, beaten over 12 lengths by Courante after never looking likely. The rise to 1300m gives him a different setup, but an unplaced record from nine starts at this track and distance is hard to ignore. |

SIRIUS
YUICHI SAITO 5YO BAY HORSE 56.0KG Tatsue Ishikawa Scored at Mizusawa last start, beating Gold Jumper by just over a length after being heavily supported into very short odds-on territory and showing a sharp turn of foot. That was a strong rebound from a second-last finish in 3yo+ B1B2 company at Sonoda, where he was big odds and made no impression. Proven here, at the distance and with Masatoshi Yamamoto, he looks the runner they have to beat. |

YUYU CORAZON
YUJI SATO 4YO CHESTNUT HORSE 56.0KG Held third at Mizusawa last start, beaten five lengths by Over The Top after being close enough but unable to quicken. He had been fifth here the start prior, beaten over 13 lengths by Annindofu despite sitting near the top of betting. The third-up timing and strong record with Shion Sasaki help, but he still looks a place prospect unless he finds a stronger closing response. |
7 SHION SASAKI |

| 8 | 76450 |
GRACE CHOCOLAT
YUKICHI SUGAWARA 5YO BAY MARE 54.0KG Finished tenth at Mizusawa last start, beaten over 14 lengths by Kung Fu Dance at big odds after settling with too much to do. She had worked home more encouragingly at Morioka Dirt two back, but was still beaten over 10 lengths and unwanted in the market. Her track-and-distance record reads well, yet current form leaves her with too much to prove. |

BALALALALALALA
YUICHI SAITO 6YO BROWN MARE 54.0KG Was well held at Mizusawa last start, finishing seventh and beaten over 15 lengths by Lucky Story after coming under pressure late. That was a clear step backwards from a Morioka Dirt second when beaten four lengths by Sakura Top Sky as a well-supported favourite. She has enough old form to respect at a low level, but the latest effort makes her hard to recommend. |
9 MAKOTO OTSUBO |

ASTEROPE
KAZUMUNE ITO 4YO GREY FILLY 54.0KG Dominated at Mizusawa last start, beating Taisei Adamas by five lengths after starting near the top of betting and maintaining a clear margin. That was a sharp improvement on her first-up eighth in 3yo+ B1B2 company at Morioka Dirt, where she was unwanted and made no impression. Now third-up, with a distance win already banked, she profiles as a major winning chance again. |
10 YURI TAKAHASHI |
|

FLOWER COMPANY
Yukihiro Nagata 5YO BAY MARE 54.0KG Worked home evenly for second at Mizusawa last start, beaten six lengths by Rasiel after starting among the outsiders. Her previous fifth in a 3yo+ B2 over 1600m at Morioka was honest enough, beaten five lengths by El Professor after having the job ahead. With one win and three places from five at this track and distance, she has genuine claims for the exotics. |
