GOING:

Race 9 1600m

Track:      

Sezan Diva has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. SEZAN DIVA (6) raced close to the lead before clearing out to score an effortless 6 lengths win over 1400m at Mizusawa last time. Has a decent record at this track. Right in this. SHANGHAI MAGOKORO (8) finished third two runs back at Mizusawa then improved last time out to score by 1.75 lengths over 1400m at Mizusawa. Hidetoshi Abe scored on her last time and retains the mount. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. TAIKI COURAGE (9) lifted strongly only to just miss last start over 1600m at Mizusawa. Placed to advantage so expect another big run. FUKU ANGEL (3) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fourth over 1600m at Mizusawa. Good enough on her day and can play a prominent role.
