Mombetsu Race 5 - Race 5 - 1000
ARC MEDINA (1) gets narrow top billing in a race where the main chances all have some reservations. She resumes from a three-month break after two sound Mombetsu fourths in 3yo+ C4 company, the latest when beaten two and a half lengths as a well-supported favourite, and her one win and three places from ten starts at this track and distance give her the most rounded profile. KAINO MICHISHIRUBE (10) is the clear danger after a second to Angel Roll here two weeks ago and she brings stronger track-and-distance statistics, although the wide barrier and a plain Mizusawa run two back keep the price important. OUR SONG (2) has upside after placing on debut at big odds and only has to improve naturally to stay in the argument, but she was behind KAINO MICHISHIRUBE in that same race. ULZZANG (9) is harder to trust off a ninth beaten over 13 lengths, yet her broader record and previous Mombetsu win keep her in the minor-money mix if she rebounds.

Returns from a three-month break after two solid Mombetsu fourths in 3yo+ C4 grade, most recently beaten two and a half lengths by Next To You as a well-supported favourite. She had earlier finished fourth to Flaring Baron, beaten two lengths when an outside chance in betting. One win and three places from ten starts at this track and distance gives her a sound base, and she looks a genuine winning hope if forward enough fresh.

Made a useful debut here over 1000m, finishing third to Angel Roll after leading to the turn and working home evenly, despite being unwanted in the market. She was beaten two and a half lengths and now has the benefit of race experience, although Kaino Michishirube finished ahead of her in that same race. Drawn to use her early speed again, she has enough upside to be a serious player.

Finished last behind Angel Roll here two weeks ago, beaten over 16 lengths after settling well back and never coming into it. The start prior was no better, finishing second last to Grease and beaten over 19 lengths when unwanted in the market. With no wins from 129 starts and unplaced in all 23 tries at this track and distance, he needs a major form reversal.

Failed to come on when tenth to Poporon here last start, beaten over 11 lengths at big odds, so there was little to recommend from that run. Her previous fifth to Kanetoshi Celeste was more respectable, beaten four and a half lengths, but she remains winless and unplaced from 49 starts. She is best assessed as a rough place hope only if she gets back to that earlier effort.

Has been safely held at his past two, finishing tenth to Grease here last start when beaten over 12 lengths after failing to make ground. He was also seventh to Knight Spire the run prior, beaten over 10 lengths at long odds. His career record includes three wins and he has placed seven times at this track and distance, but recent form leaves him with plenty to find.

Ran sixth to Poporon here last start, beaten just under eight lengths after settling rearward and giving away too much start. She had also been eighth to Kanetoshi Celeste two weeks earlier, beaten just over eight lengths after making only limited late ground. Although she owns a past win, she is unplaced from 19 starts in the past 12 months and must find more zip.

Finished last to Poporon here a fortnight ago, beaten over 15 lengths after being miles back and failing to improve. The run before was another last placing behind Kanetoshi Celeste, beaten nine and a half lengths when big odds. With no wins from 18 starts and unplaced in all eight attempts at this track and distance, he is difficult to make a strong case for.

Was eighth to Angel Roll here last start, beaten seven and a half lengths after settling rearward and conceding too much ground. Her previous sixth to Daimei Easter was similar, beaten seven lengths when near the top of an open market. She has placed five times from 18 starts at this track and distance, but the maiden record keeps the winning case thin.

Comes off a plain ninth to Max Isle here, beaten over 13 lengths after settling rearward and never getting involved. The start prior was better without being threatening, finishing seventh to Praxiteles and beaten five lengths at generous odds. Her one win in the past 12 months keeps her on the radar in this grade, but she must rebound sharply to turn that into more than a place chance.

Lifted sharply second-up when second to Angel Roll over 1000m at Mombetsu, beaten two lengths after tracking the speed and finishing evenly. That was a clear turnaround from her well beaten Mizusawa run over 1400m, and she also had Our Song behind her last time. One win and three places from six starts at this track and distance is strong enough to make her a major winning chance.

Returns from a lengthy spell after two Ohi runs as a juvenile, the latest a fifth to Chura Blaze over 1400m when beaten eight and a half lengths at long odds. His debut was much tougher, finishing last to Nine Fold and well held. The class drop is some help, but coming back in trip after more than a year away makes him a cautious place prospect rather than a confident win selection.
