Mombetsu Race 2 - Mombetsu Japan 2Yo
POPORON (6) made a strong late bid but just failed to pick up the winner last start over this track and trip. Should be near her peak for this. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish. RYUNO SOUL (5) settled well back but closed off soundly to grab fifth at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Nicely placed to play a role. LANAKILA NINA (3) is appearing for the first time. By Maurice and comes from the Junji Tanaka stable. Bold showing expected. SIMPATIA (4) was prominent into the straight last time but faltered late to finish sixth over 1200m at this track. Worth plenty of thought.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 2nd of 12 at this track on October 15 over 1000m, neck behind Seiran Makfi with 55kg at $6.80. The start before that 4th of 12 at this track on October 1 over 1000m, 1.3 len behind Lightness carrying 55kg at $3.20. Going well enough to take this out.
