From the outside draw Nike Felice spears to the lead and sets a slick tempo. NIKE FELICE (12) sets the standard after winning a 3yo B2 at Mizusawa by two and a half lengths, with Combat Snel behind her, and her broader profile at the track and distance gives that result substance rather than making it look isolated. MARUKEI FINE (5) is the clear danger on consistency, having run second at her past two in 3yo B2 company at Morioka Dirt and carrying only 52kg again, although she still has to turn repeated placings into a win in this stronger assignment. LITORIA (11) brings a reliable distance record and was third to Nike Felice here last time after going close at Morioka Dirt the run prior, so she is a genuine winning hope if she can bridge that margin. KIICHI HELIOS (9) is harder to trust after being beaten over 11 lengths last start, but his previous favourite-backed second to Juno Vert keeps him in the wider winning discussion.

FUJI HOOK HAND
KOICHI SETO 3YO DK B COLT 56.0KG Finished eighth in a 3yo B2 at Morioka Dirt last start, beaten over 15 lengths by Hinata after settling rearward and making no late impression. He had also been safely held there the run prior when sixth, beaten just over eight lengths behind Juno Vert. The track-and-trip record offers a small counterpoint, but his current form leaves him needing a sharp turnaround. |

RIKEA PENNE
SHINICHI HATAKEYAMA 3YO BROWN FILLY 54.0KG Kiyoshi Inaba Kept in market consideration here last start but could manage only sixth behind Nike Felice in a 3yo B2, beaten five and a half lengths after settling back. The previous third at Morioka Dirt was sound without being forceful, and she has won at this track and distance. Her mixed record against key rivals points more to minor money than a strong winning case. |
2 RYO KOBAYASHI |

COMBAT SNEL
TORU SANNOMIYA 3YO BAY FILLY 54.0KG Worked home evenly for second to Nike Felice at Mizusawa last start, beaten two and a half lengths at long odds, which was a clear lift on her previous seventh at Morioka Dirt when beaten over 14 lengths. She has placed four times from seven runs at this track and distance, but remains winless from 23 starts overall, so the place case is stronger than the win case. |
3 MAKOTO OTSUBO |

PEACE LUCKY
KOJI SAKURADA 3YO CHESTNUT FILLY 54.0KG Settled prominently at Mizusawa last start but faded to eighth behind Nike Felice, beaten just over seven lengths at long odds. Her previous seventh at Morioka Dirt was also well held, and she has been unplaced in all twelve starts this season. A class-related setup helps only slightly; recent evidence says she must lift considerably. |
4 YU SUZUKI |
|
| 5 | 81122 |
MARUKEI FINE
Akira Kimura 3YO CHESTNUT FILLY 52.0KG Has held her form well, most recently leading in a 3yo B2 at Morioka Dirt before being run down late by Rikea Macaroni, beaten two lengths. She had also finished second to Nike Felice there two back and remains on 52kg. The distance is still marked as a query, but her race fitness, light weight and current consistency give her a genuine winning platform. |
5 REIKA SEKIMOTO |
|
| 6 | 00859 |
MALLEOLUS
KOICHI SETO 3YO BAY COLT 56.0KG Settled rearward and made no impression when ninth to Nike Felice at Mizusawa last start, beaten just over nine lengths. The run prior at Morioka Dirt was only fifth, beaten six and a half lengths, despite a market price that showed little confidence. He has a track-and-trip win, but the recent pattern is not strong enough to recommend him highly. |
6 MASATOSHI YAMAMOTO |

| 7 | 3600x |
ANRAKOR
KOKI CHIBA 3YO DK B FILLY 54.0KG Big Red Farm Returns from a lengthy spell after two plain Nagoya runs, the latest a tenth in a 3yo+ COND when beaten over 11 lengths by Kitasan Fujiyama and unwanted in the market. She was second last over 920m the start before, beaten over 13 lengths. Her distance record is the positive, with one win and one place from two attempts, but she resumes needing to rediscover that form quickly. |
7 TOSHIKI YAMAMOTO |

| 8 | 31596 |
VALUABLE
KAZUMUNE ITO 3YO CHESTNUT FILLY 54.0KG Was unwanted in the market and finished sixth at Mizusawa last start behind Sanei Warrior, beaten over 18 lengths, which followed a second-last placing at Morioka Dirt when beaten over 16 lengths by Hinata. Her career record is sound and she has won at this track and distance, but the last two margins are too heavy to ignore. |
8 YURI TAKAHASHI |
|
| 9 | 22326 |
KIICHI HELIOS
MAMORU NITTA 3YO DK B COLT 56.0KG Was near the top of an open market at Morioka Dirt last start but battled into sixth behind Hinata, beaten over 11 lengths after sitting just off the pace. That was below his previous effort when sent out favourite and second to Juno Vert, beaten a length and a half. He has enough placing depth to improve, but must rebound sharply to win. |
9 TATSUNORI SUGAWARA |

| 10 | 430x8 |
REFLE LA LA
MASAHIKO SATO 3YO BAY FILLY 54.0KG Resumed at Mizusawa with a second-last finish behind Sanei Warrior, well beaten by 23 lengths after getting too far back to make any impact. Her previous run over 1600m at Morioka Dirt was also plain, finishing last behind Metal Laver. The jockey-horse and track-distance records are positives, but her current form demands a much stronger response. |
10 SHINOBU MURAKAMI |
|
| 11 | 21523 |
LITORIA
ISAO SUGAWARA 3YO DK B FILLY 54.0KG Akira Nakatsuji Finished third to Nike Felice at Mizusawa last start in a 3yo B2, beaten just over three lengths after settling rearward, and that followed a close second to Baoxue Tenshi at Morioka Dirt when beaten just under a length. She is proven at 1400m and has a strong record with Toshiya Yamamoto. The draw is not a reason to dismiss her, but she must turn honest placings into a win. |
11 TOSHIYA YAMAMOTO |

| 12 | 12141 |
NIKE FELICE
MASAHIKO SATO 3YO CHESTNUT FILLY 54.0KG Masatake Iida Put the right run on the board at Mizusawa last start, winning a 3yo B2 by two and a half lengths from Combat Snel after travelling in control and keeping plenty in reserve. She had been fourth to Rikea Macaroni at Morioka Dirt the run prior, but her track, distance and jockey records are all persuasive. From the wide draw she may need to use her speed, yet the recent win makes her the one to beat. |
