Mombetsu Race 9 - Race 9 - 1000
EARTH CALLING (1) has the strongest recent claim after turning a plain Sapporo run into a Mombetsu win by a length and a half, and his established record at this track and distance gives that result substance rather than making it look a one-off. YOU CAN FLY (3) is the main danger if she bounces back from a costly seventh as short odds-on favourite, because her previous 3yo+ C3 win from Port Ellen and two wins from three attempts at the course and distance read well for this. CILANTRO (5) brings a consistent Mombetsu 1000m profile and was only beaten just over four lengths last start, though she must finish off better than she did there. ATONIMO SAKINIMO (2) keeps closing into his races and has the local record to be dangerous, while LOSKA KIC (4) has the track-and-trip figures to improve despite two below-par runs.

Returned to winning form here last start, settling back before producing the right finish to beat Yoshino Kamuy by a length and a half. That was a sharp turnaround after his 11th at Sapporo in a 3yo+ ALLOW over 1200m, where he was unwanted in the market and beaten just over six lengths by Satono Wagner. With three wins and three places from ten starts at the track and distance, he looks well placed to hold a leading hand again.

Worked home strongly from well back when fifth to Earth Calling here last start, beaten four lengths at generous odds. He had made a similar late impression two weeks earlier when third to Milers Dawn, beaten three lengths, so the pattern is consistent even if he keeps conceding himself work to do. Proven at this track and distance and effective with this jockey, he has the form to threaten if within striking range.

Disappointed as a short odds-on favourite here last start, racing just off the lead before fading into seventh, beaten six and a half lengths by Great Stick. The better reference is the start prior, when she won a 3yo+ C3 at this track from Port Ellen by two and a half lengths after being prominent. Her two wins from three starts at the track and distance keep her firmly in calculations, provided she rebounds.

Failed to justify favouritism here last start, finishing eighth to Earth Calling and beaten just over eight lengths after settling back and making no ground. The run prior was also plain in a 3yo COND over 1200m, where she was beaten over 14 lengths at big odds. Her three wins from five starts at the track and distance are the clear counterpoint, but recent evidence makes her more of a place rebound than a win anchor.

Led clearly here last start but could not sustain it, fading to seventh behind Earth Calling and beaten just over four lengths at generous odds. That followed a better second to Sasakin Melody, when she led and was only worn down late by a length and a half. Her overall and track-distance records are solid, and her natural speed gives her a clear asset, though she must find a stronger last section to win.

Closed off well into fourth behind Great Stick here last start, beaten four and a half lengths after giving away a start. He had been second to Milers Dawn at the same venue the run prior, beaten two and a half lengths, again doing his best work late at outside odds. The veteran has a good record with this jockey and enough recent substance to be a realistic minor-money player.

Was safely held when resuming here, finishing eighth behind Great Stick and beaten just over eight lengths after being well back at the turn at big odds. His previous run was last in a 3yo+ B3 at this track, beaten over 16 lengths by Midnight Gale, so the recent profile is hard to recommend. Second-up improvement is needed, particularly with no placing from two attempts at this distance.

Has been well beaten at her past two, most recently eighth to Quattro Sauvage here, beaten over 12 lengths after settling back and making no late impact at big odds. She was last over 1200m at this track the run prior, beaten over 18 lengths by Tomoe at long odds. A past Mombetsu win is some background support, but she needs a significant form reversal to trouble these.

Drops back to a more suitable 1000m after two plain 1200m efforts here, the latest an eighth to Tomoe when beaten just over six lengths and unwanted in the market. She had been tenth to Queen's Merengue before that, beaten over 11 lengths after coming under pressure late. Four wins at this track and distance give her some historical standing, but current form leaves little room for error.

Made no impact here last start, finishing second last behind Great Stick and beaten over 10 lengths after being unwanted in the market. The run prior offered little more, as she led narrowly into the straight over 1200m before tiring to finish last behind Ayasan Jolene. A light weight and four track-and-distance wins are positives on paper, but she must rediscover form quickly.
