Mizusawa Race 9 - Race 9 - 1600
OPTICS (9) won at this track and distance at his last outing ten weeks ago. Sure to make his presence felt on return in a winnable race. RAISON DU SOURIRE (3) last appeared four weeks ago over 1400m at Kochi when he finished fifth. This is his first run for the Akira Kimura stable. One of the better hopes. VIN NATURE (7) returns from a spell of 11 weeks and did win first-up last time in work over 1600m at Morioka Dirt. Has ability and should be right in the finish. K TWO PENNY (4) returns from a spell after finishing off the last campaign in solid form including a narrow defeat over 1600m at this track last time out. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. In the mix.

Previously second-up won by 1.0 len at Monbetsu May 8 over 1600m defeating Bellagio Kenshiro carrying 57kg at $1.80. Fitter but must improve sharply.
