Mombetsu Race 12 - Race 12 - 1600
VALENTINE CAKE (2) has raced three times and was brought back to earth last time out when fourth over 1700m at this track after two consecutive wins. Big chance to bounce straight back. KAIRI QUEEN (9) returned from a spell two weeks ago when she was fifth over 1700m at this track. Going up a level this time but she cannot be taken lightly. NIJIKO (5) missed the frame last start when she got a long way back over 1200m at this track, finishing fourth. Likely improver with strong prospects. BLAZE EDGE (8) showed early speed from an outside draw last time then tired over the final stages to finish eighth over 1200m at this track. Has the ability to make her mark.
