Mizusawa

RYAN (3) Snagged a narrow win last start at this track. Expected to be flashing home. Jockey Toshiya Yamamoto has been successful aboard previously. Looks to be in good shape and must go close today. BLACK BUTLER (2) Finished 5th last time at Sonoda. Expecting improvement here and has a good draw. Jockey Ryou Takamatsu and trainer Yoshinori Itagaki form a proven partnership. Good chance and wouldn't be surprised to see it pick up a win. COSMO FREUDE (1) Tidy run when 2nd last time at this venue and will appreciate a good gate. Should come to hand quickly. Include in chances. LITTLE SOMETHING (5) Clearly outclassed when 10th last start at Kasamatsu. Shinobu Murakami and Kouki Chiba have a good working relationship. Likely to be well placed early. Very competitive this campaign. Solid place bet prospects.
