MIZUSAWA   27 Sep 2026
 
GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

A race that lacks early pressure. YAKUJO (1) is the one to beat despite coming back in trip from 2000m, with a Sapporo third two starts ago standing out clearly against this field and the six-week freshening giving him a chance to reset after finishing ninth to Wilson. EMERALD TESORO (3) has the sharper local reference, finishing fourth here to Satono Trinity and beating Star Plane in that same recent comparison, though her Morioka Dirt failure the run prior keeps the confidence measured. STAR PLANE (9) has the most consistent place profile among the main dangers, with a Morioka Dirt third to Bee Stunning and a workable distance record, but he must rebound from a sixth here when beaten over 12 lengths. PILSNER (5) is the fourth selection and looks more a minor-money threat, with her Morioka Dirt fifth stronger than her latest Mizusawa run and the 1400m record still a genuine query.

Big Red Farm
Returns from a six-week freshening after finishing ninth in a 3yo Maiden over 2000m at Sapporo, beaten eight and a half lengths by Wilson after settling rearward and making no impression. The run prior was stronger when third to Win Bel Cielo at the same venue, beaten three and a half lengths at big odds. The class drop helps, but the back in trip is the key query; on exposed form he still sets the standard.

3YO  BAY  FILLY 52.0KG

Improved to fifth here last start behind Gabby's D'Etoile, beaten over 10 lengths after looming without quite holding a top-three spot. That was a clear step up on her Morioka Dirt run, where she finished second last and was beaten a long way at long odds. The 52kg is a help, but she remains unplaced from ten starts and needs another lift to turn the latest run into a placing.

Produced one of the better recent local runs when fourth here behind Satono Trinity, beaten just under three lengths despite being at long odds. That was a sharp response after being beaten out of sight at Morioka Dirt when she went backwards from a handy spot. She has placed once from three starts at Mizusawa and recently beat Star Plane here, so the winning case is sound if she holds that form.

3YO  CHESTNUT  COLT 56.0KG

Finished ninth here behind Satono Trinity last start, beaten over 16 lengths after settling well back and failing to improve. The previous Morioka Dirt run was similar, again ninth and beaten over 18 lengths by Bee Stunning at big odds. He is still a maiden after 18 starts and is unplaced in three runs at this track and distance, so the class drop alone is not enough to recommend him strongly.

Was never in the race when seventh here behind Satono Trinity last start, beaten over 16 lengths after conceding a big start. Her Morioka Dirt fifth two back had more merit, as she was fair through the line after again giving them a head start. She has placed once from 16 starts and is unplaced in four runs at the distance, but that prior run keeps her in the minor-money mix.

Dropped out badly when last here behind Kitano Ayaka, beaten out of sight after giving little in the straight. She had also faded late at Morioka Dirt two starts ago when seventh and beaten over 16 lengths by Namura Degas. The overall record includes two placings from eleven starts and this rider has placed on her twice from six, but she must rebound sharply to be a genuine threat.

3YO  DK B  COLT 56.0KG

Was tailed off when tenth here behind Kitano Ayaka last start, and the run before was no better when second last at Morioka Dirt behind Namura Degas after conceding a huge start. His record includes three placings from 15 starts and one placing from four at this track and distance, but current form is well below that level. He needs to show far more early and late.

Yuki Dendo
Freshened for four weeks since finishing ninth at Morioka Dirt behind Namura Degas, beaten over 16 lengths after settling rearward and weakening further. Her previous run there was also plain, finishing seventh and beaten over 15 lengths by Kitanolesclefsd'Or. The track record is the saving grace with one win from two at Mizusawa, but recent form says she has plenty to repair.

Finished sixth here behind Satono Trinity last start, beaten over 12 lengths after settling close enough without going on. His Morioka Dirt third two back was more persuasive, as he kept grinding to be beaten four and a half lengths by Bee Stunning at long odds. He has placed three times from 13 starts and twice at the trip, while the Emerald Tesoro formline makes him a live danger with a rebound.

Finished tenth here behind Satono Trinity last start, beaten over 18 lengths after conceding a huge start and never becoming a factor. Two back at Morioka Dirt she was eighth to Bee Stunning, beaten over 11 lengths after being unable to make an impression. With just one placing from 24 starts and no placing in four attempts at this track and distance, others have stronger claims.

NAOKI NISHINO
3YO  BAY  COLT 56.0KG

Comes here third-up, but the two runs this campaign have offered little encouragement. He was second last here behind Kitano Ayaka last start, beaten out of sight after settling rearward, and was tailed off at Morioka Dirt behind Namura Degas the run prior. The class drop is some help in theory, but he is unplaced in three starts at this track and distance and must improve sharply.

Kozo Ishise
Was well beaten when second last here behind Satono Trinity last start, fading late after being among the outsiders. The Morioka Dirt run before was also modest, finishing eighth to Namura Degas and beaten over 16 lengths. He has one placing from 12 starts at the distance and lost to Emerald Tesoro and Star Plane here recently, so he looks more a rough place hope than a win threat.
