Mombetsu Race 12 - Race 12 - 1800

NISHIKEN BOB (5) has strong overall form with 19 wins on the board. Continued the positive trend last start when a winner by 3 lengths over 1800m at this track. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Among the leading chances. KEIAI PURPLE (3) was quickly into stride over 2600m at this track last time and dug deep to score by 3 lengths. Tackling a more suitable race so he is likely to play a big role. VALENTINE CAKE (1) settled well back but hit the line well to finish fourth, beaten 6 lengths, over 1800m here last time. Warrants plenty of respect. SANYO SFIDA (4) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 30 lengths away in 11th over 2000m at this track. Capable of featuring prominently.

Racing well recently. Returns from a 29-day let-up. Last start raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 8 at this track on August 11 over 2600m, 33 len behind Keiai Purple carrying 56kg at $23.40. The start before that ran second last in a small field at this track on July 15 over 1800m, 13 len behind Keiai Purple with 56kg at $84.70. Sure to be competitive with so few opponents.

Racing well recently. At the latest run favourite; won by 3 len at this track on August 12 over 1800m defeating D S Yell with 58kg at $1.20. The start before that 2nd in a small field at this track on July 15 over 1800m, 5 len behind Keiai Purple carrying 58kg at $1.50. Got the job done last time and is a leading hope again.
