Mombetsu Race 9 - Race 9 - 1800

NISHIKEN BOB (6) was safely held when second last time out over 1800m at this track, beaten 5 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. VALENTINE CAKE (7) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 7 lengths back in fifth over 1800m at this track. Sure to give a great sight. D S YELL (4) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 12 lengths back in fourth over 1700m at this track. Will give backers a sight. NIJIKO (8) is coming off a last-start fourth, beaten 6 lengths, over 1800m at this track. This sets up nicely.
