Mombetsu Race 12 - Race 12 - 1800

TARUMAE DON (12) is the one to beat off a narrow second to Answerer at Mombetsu, having won here the start prior from SOL DAYSTAR. His two wins and two placings from five starts at the track give him the strongest overall profile among the main chances. NEW STANDARD (8) has been admirably consistent, with two wins and three placings from five starts here, and the head win over Answerer two back ties in strongly with the latest form. SHIFT CHANGE (2) has been close up in both recent runs and is suited back at a track where he has already won. IKEMEN MONSTER (9) earned his place among the chances by beating GO GO MITSUHIKO last start and has yet to miss a place in five starts.

Comments

Worked home evenly when fourth behind Ikemen Monster at Mombetsu last start, beaten seven and a half lengths after starting near the top of betting in a small field. The Morioka third prior, beaten just over two lengths by Sei Carlton, reads better, and he does have a win at this track. Even so, the latest result leaves him with a fair bit to turn around against several better-credentialed rivals.

Comments

Returns from a six-week freshening after finishing fourth behind Answerer at Mombetsu, beaten just under three lengths when close enough in an open market. He had earlier run third to New Standard after being heavily backed into very short odds-on territory, so the market has had a strong opinion of him. With a win and a placing from three starts here, he remains a genuine winning chance.

Held a narrow lead and found enough to beat Vivi Camellia by half a length at Mombetsu last start as an odds-on favourite. That followed a sound second to Radio Girl, when she picked up nicely late over 1100m. The first try at this longer trip is the obvious question, but her consistency this campaign keeps her in the minor-money mix.

Comments

Kept on for third behind Ikemen Monster at Mombetsu last start, although the six-length margin shows he was safely held despite some market support. His Morioka fifth prior was fair without being decisive, beaten four lengths by Sei Carlton. The track record is sound enough, and the leading rider goes on, but he profiles more as a place hope than a win threat.

Improved sharply when second to Ikemen Monster at Mombetsu last start, beaten a length after being near the top of betting. That was a much better effort than his eighth to Answerer the run before, where he was unwanted in the market and beaten over 11 lengths. A previous track-and-trip win gives him some grounding, but the overall profile still demands a lift.

Returns from a six-week freshening after a disappointing last behind Answerer at Mombetsu, beaten over 17 lengths as a well-supported favourite. The run prior is the better guide, when second to Tarumae Don and beaten a length and a half after travelling close enough. He has the ability to rebound, but the latest failure keeps him in place territory rather than stronger.

Returns from a six-week freshening after finishing fifth behind Answerer at Mombetsu, beaten seven and a half lengths and making no impression late. His previous third to Tarumae Don was much better, beaten a length and a half after working home into the money. A track win is in the bank, but the 1800m query and latest run make him hard to promote.

Returns from a six-week freshening with a highly reliable Mombetsu profile, having two wins and three placings from five starts here. He was third to Answerer last start, beaten just under two lengths despite being only an outside chance in betting, and had beaten Answerer by a head the run prior at big odds. That consistency makes him a strong danger again.

Comes off a Mombetsu win over Go Go Mitsuhiko, scoring by a length in a small field after settling back. He had also run second to Queue Balancee the start prior, beaten a length and a half after being prominent and well respected in betting. Two wins and three placings from five starts is hard to knock, so he can again be trusted as a solid each-way hope.

Returns from a two-month break after digging in to beat Full Of Pops by just under a length at Mombetsu, a deserved breakthrough after starting near the top of betting. That win followed a fourth to Ligand, beaten just over six lengths at long odds. The last-start result gives him some confidence, but the class rise and distance query make this a tougher assignment.

Comments

Finished fourth to Aperitivo at Mombetsu last start, beaten five and a half lengths at big odds after looking well back before closing strongly. That was better than his second-last to Kazu Dream the run prior, when he made no late impression. The step up in trip may help him use that finish, but he still has to improve sharply on exposed figures.

Returns from a six-week freshening after being pipped by Answerer at Mombetsu, beaten a neck when again well found in the market. He had beaten Sol Daystar by a length and a half here the start prior and has built an excellent record of two wins and two placings from five starts at the track. That form ties in well across the main rivals and makes him the clear horse to beat.
