GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

A few sit handy but there won't be a great deal of early pressure. HYAKUGIMARU (8) gets top billing on the strength of a Chukyo 3yo Maiden sixth where he was beaten just under three lengths in a 17-runner field, form that reads well for this 3yo C2. The fresh query is the rise from 1200m to 1400m, but he is race fit and has the most persuasive recent substance. RARA MOUTIERS (7) is the clear danger after going within a length here last start at big odds, fighting hard before conceding late, though her Morioka Dirt run prior was plain. ANGE RIO (9) must rebound from being beaten over 11 lengths here, but her fourth at Morioka Dirt when close in the betting keeps her firmly in the winning discussion. KOSHITANTAN (5) is harder to trust after a poor latest run, yet her third at Morioka Dirt, beaten two lengths, gives her a genuine each-way platform if she returns to that level.

Finished well held when second last behind Pakara Pakara here last start after settling rearward, and the market had her at big odds. The start prior was no better, finishing last at Morioka Dirt and beaten over 16 lengths by Schnee Dream. Unplaced in all twelve starts overall and all three at the distance, she needs a major form reversal to trouble these.

Could not make any headway when ninth here behind Gabby's D'Etoile, beaten over 18 lengths at long odds. That followed a second-last at Morioka Dirt, again unable to improve and beaten over 16 lengths. The 50kg helps and she has placed twice from six starts at Mizusawa, but the current form says she has plenty to find.

Held her ground for fifth here behind Pakara Pakara, beaten just over six lengths, after being an outside chance in betting. The run prior had more merit when fifth at Morioka Dirt, beaten three and a half lengths as a well-supported favourite after making ground late. Still a maiden, but her recent form is solid enough to press for minor money.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing second last in a 3yo COND at Nagoya, beaten over 16 lengths by Friday Then. She had also been second last over 920m there, beaten over 11 lengths despite being close enough at the turn. The class drop is some help, but a maiden record of one placing from ten starts leaves a clear improvement task.

Failed badly here last start when second last behind Gabby's D'Etoile, well beaten after weakening late with no obvious excuse. Her previous run is the one to judge her on, a third at Morioka Dirt when beaten two lengths by Anderstorp and near the top of betting. With the winning rider back, she can rebound into the placings if that latest run is put aside.

Finished a distant last behind Gabby's D'Etoile here last start after settling back and giving further ground late. Two back at Morioka Dirt she was never a winning hope but did work home fairly for sixth, beaten just over eight lengths. Her one placing from 15 starts is a concern, yet prior Mizusawa place form keeps her in the minor-money mix.

Went within a length of Kamino Teio here last start, holding a slender lead and fighting hard before conceding late at big odds. That was a sharp lift on her tenth at Morioka Dirt, where she was unwanted in the market and beaten over 15 lengths. She can put herself into the race, and a repeat of that latest effort makes her a serious winning chance.

Returns from a five-week freshening with the best recent reference, having run sixth in a Chukyo 3yo Maiden over 1200m and beaten just under three lengths by Chuwa Melody in a 17-runner field. His Kokura run prior was weaker after he dropped out from the firing line, so the rise to 1400m remains the query. This looks a suitable class drop if he sees it out.

Was safely held here last start, finishing seventh behind Pakara Pakara and beaten over 11 lengths after getting too far back to make an impression. The better guide is her Morioka Dirt fourth two back, beaten three lengths by Anderstorp when near the top of betting. She needs to produce that run again, but this field gives her a real winning opening.

Finished ninth behind Pakara Pakara here last start, beaten a long way after being unwanted in the market and making no ground. The start prior was similarly plain at Morioka Dirt, where she conceded a huge start and was beaten over 12 lengths by Anderstorp. A distance placing is the lone positive, but current form leaves others better placed.

Worked home evenly for third behind Luath Gloir here last start, beaten just over three lengths after starting an outside chance in betting. That was a fair step forward from his Morioka Dirt fifth, where he gave away a big start and was beaten nine and a half lengths. The Mizusawa placing gives him some each-way appeal, though the winning edge is still missing.
