Mombetsu Race 8 - Race 8 - 1800

BERKEN (1) made progress last time out, finishing 4 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1800m at this track after being in the firing line on the bend. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. LOVE LEGAL (5) made progress last time out, finishing second at the end of 1800m at this track after being in contention on the turn. Likely improver with strong prospects. KITASAN SUSAN (8) was in the money two starts back at this track but was unable to repeat the effort last time when seventh. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. TOP OF THE KING (6) finished down the track over 2600m at Fukushima on July 4. Rates highly in this field and can turn things around.

Comes here off a 52-day let-up. At the latest run 14th of 16 at Fukushima on July 4 over 2600m, 15 len behind Bombon Baby carrying 57.0kg at $142.30. The run before that eased back early on 8th of 15 at Tokyo on May 30 over 2400m, 10 len behind Gonfaloniere carrying 54.0kg at $89.50. Easily accounted for last start but is capable of better.
