Mombetsu Race 12 - Race 12 - 1200
BEST GREEN (7) gets top billing on the strength of a two-length Mombetsu win as odds-on favourite and a faultless three-from-three record at this track and distance. His Urawa run two back was plain, but the return to 1200m at Mombetsu produced the right response and his overall six wins from nine starts is hard to ignore. STREAM (4) is the clear danger, having won his past two here and owning five wins and five placings from 14 starts over this track and distance; the two-month break is the only small pause. KEIAI DORIE (2) brings a different profile, rebounding from a G3 failure at Chukyo Dirt to win a 3yo+ A1 here from BOILER HOUSE, and his two-from-two Mombetsu record keeps him right in the race. STEEL PEGASUS (5) has been around the mark behind both KEIAI DORIE and STREAM, but as beaten favourite last start he needs to find another length to turn placings into a win.

Led at Mombetsu last start in a 3yo+ C4 but was claimed soon after and dropped out sharply, finishing second last and beaten over 18 lengths behind Bear Bruges. The previous fifth behind Fawkes Up was more competitive, beaten three lengths after being run down late. A prior track-and-distance win gives some base, but the latest collapse makes this a difficult task.

Rebounded strongly at Mombetsu last start, winning a 3yo+ A1 by just under a length from Boiler House after letting down well in a tight finish. That was a sharp contrast to his second-last in the G3 Tokai Tv Hai Tokai Stakes at Chukyo Dirt, where he was beaten over 18 lengths at long odds. Two wins from two starts here and four wins at 1200m make him a genuine winning threat again.

Finished last over 1000m at Mombetsu last start in a 3yo+ B4, beaten over 14 lengths at big odds after settling well back and never threatening behind Great Stick. The run prior was also plain when second last, beaten over 12 lengths by Geist Segen. She is unplaced from nine starts at this track, so a major form reversal is required.

Resumes after two months off following a neck win over Steel Pegasus at Mombetsu when sent out a dominant odds-on favourite. He had also beaten Special Chance by two lengths over 1000m here the run prior, so the current form is reliable. With five wins and five placings from 14 starts at this track and distance, plus a strong record with Yuji Iwahashi, he has the credentials to take plenty of beating.

Worked home evenly for third in a 3yo+ A1 at Mombetsu last start, beaten just under two lengths by Keiai Dorie after starting favourite. The run before was a narrow second to Stream, beaten a neck, so the recent form ties in directly with the key hopes. His consistency is hard to knock, but he must turn around recent defeats to the main dangers to win.

Returns from a five-week freshening after winning a 3yo+ A1 at Mombetsu by a length and a half from Online Boss as a short odds-on favourite. That followed a neck win over Wonder Woman, giving him back-to-back victories this campaign. His overall record of 19 wins from 37 starts is outstanding, though this looks a deeper winning test than those recent assignments.

Returns from a five-week freshening after a decisive two-length Mombetsu win over Ecoro Reve as an odds-on favourite. The 1400m Urawa run two back was below his best, but he is unbeaten from three starts at this track and distance and has six wins from nine overall. With Genta Ochiai again aboard, his 1200m Mombetsu form sets the benchmark.

Had too much to do at Mombetsu last start and finished ninth in a 3yo+ C4, beaten seven and a half lengths behind Sakura Stream at big odds. His previous eighth behind Marino Stir Heart was better on the margin but still came when at long odds and never a winning hope. Placed 13 times overall without winning, he needs more than minor improvement here.

Finished last at Mombetsu last start in a 3yo+ B3, beaten over 10 lengths behind Honeyberry after failing to close the race off. He was also unwanted in the market when ninth and beaten over 17 lengths by Angel at his previous run. The class drop is some help, but with no placing at this track or distance in the supplied stats, others have stronger claims.

Went close in a 3yo+ A1 at Mombetsu last start, finishing second and beaten just under a length by Keiai Dorie after being pipped late. He had also run third to Stream here, beaten half a length at generous odds, so the current form is sound. The issue is that he has already been edged out by key rivals, making him more a placing hope than the top pick.
