Mombetsu Race 3 - Race 3 - 1000
SWINDLE (1) brings the most persuasive recent profile, having placed behind Dr Akiyoshi at Mombetsu after doing his best work late and also starting favourite when fourth behind Mana Moana two runs back. The return to 1000m asks him to sharpen, but his recent ratings and record with Fuma Ono make him the one to beat. BELLE TOMO (6) is the main danger on consistency, with six placings from 16 starts and another third here behind Poporon, although she has been costly when well fancied and still has to turn those placings into a win. TAISETSU O (7) has the right background for this venue, including a track-and-trip win and a strong record with Takafumi Hattori, but his latest runs have left him with too much to do. KYOEI BOMBER (3) is better judged on the fourth behind Engel than the ninth behind Poporon, and that earlier effort gives him a genuine place-to-win bridge if he rebounds sharply.

Comes here off another solid Mombetsu placing, finishing third behind Dr Akiyoshi over 1200m after making nice late ground and starting near the top of an open market. He was favourite when fourth to Mana Moana the run prior, so the market has kept him under notice. The drop back to 1000m asks him to sharpen, but his recent form and strong association with Fuma Ono make him the runner to beat.

Has been safely held at her past two Mombetsu runs, finishing seventh behind Poporon last start after being well back at the turn and sixth to Grease before that when never likely. She was at long odds both times, which keeps the assessment measured. The class drop and light weight help, while her minor-placing record keeps her in the mix for a smaller share if she improves early.

Had little impact when ninth behind Poporon at Mombetsu last start, beaten over 10 lengths after settling midfield and failing to make ground. His previous fourth behind Engel was much better, beaten just over two lengths after giving away a start and working home soundly. That run is the reference point, and a return to it would put him back among the place chances.

Second-up after finishing eighth behind Max Isle at Mombetsu, beaten over 12 lengths when unwanted in the market and making no impression from the back. His run before the break was also eighth in a 3yo COND, beaten just over nine lengths at big odds. With no placing from five starts and little recent pressure applied late, he must lift sharply to trouble these.

Backs up after finishing eighth behind Bovenop Staan over 1200m at Mombetsu, beaten over 12 lengths and only fair through the line. He had also been beaten over 16 lengths by Mana Moana at his previous run, so the recent form is hard to recommend. A past Mombetsu win and Yamato Ishikawa taking the ride are positives, but he must show far more spark.

Produced another honest placing when third behind Poporon at Mombetsu, beaten four and a half lengths after settling midfield and battling on. She was odds-on when fifth to Grease two runs back, so there is a little frustration in the profile, but six placings from 16 starts show she is regularly competitive. With Yuji Iwahashi back aboard, she rates a clear winning danger.

Finished fifth behind Poporon at Mombetsu last start, beaten seven and a half lengths after conceding a big start and closing only fairly. He was also never a factor when seventh to Grease before that, so the recent form lacks punch. His case rests on proven track-and-trip credentials and a strong record with Takafumi Hattori, which keeps him a realistic minor hope.

Has been well beaten in successive Mombetsu runs, finishing second last behind Angel Roll after settling rearward and making no impression. She was also second last behind Kanetoshi Celeste the start prior at big odds. The broader record is a major concern, with no placing from 20 starts overall and none from 19 at this track and distance, so others appeal more strongly.

Returns from a four-week let-up after finishing last behind Grease at Mombetsu, beaten over 20 lengths at big odds and never making an impression. His previous second-last to Praxiteles was also well below the level required. With no placing from 69 starts overall and no placing from 38 attempts at this track and distance, he faces a very steep task.
