Mombetsu Race 6 - Race 6 - 1000

MEISHO KARAKUSA (4) has the most reliable winning profile after consecutive seconds at Mombetsu, beaten a nose then half a length, and his track-and-distance record of two wins and four placings from ten starts gives him a solid base. He was turned over at short odds last time, but the consistency, 54kg and Junji Tanaka stable keep him the one to beat. TOMONO TATSU MI (8) returns from five weeks off a pair of favourite-backed placings, including a second to Queen's Park, and her 50 per cent place record at this track and distance makes her the main danger. POPORON (10) arrives off the sharpest recent result, a three-length win here after heavy support, and the previous second to Grease says that was no one-off. KNIGHT SPIRE (12) has strung together two seconds and owns three career wins, though the latest seven-length margin behind Desert Eagle makes him more of a genuine place-to-win hope than a standout.

Comments

Closed off from the rear when fourth at Mombetsu last start, but was still beaten six and a half lengths and had been unwanted in the market. The prior eighth here was a similar pattern from well back at big odds, and she is unplaced in all 17 starts in the past 12 months. Yamato Ishikawa going on is a plus, but she must turn late effort into a much sharper overall result.

Comments

Has a previous Mombetsu track-and-distance win, but the current form reads poorly. He was seventh last start, beaten over 12 lengths by Luna Nuova, after finishing ninth and beaten over 13 lengths behind Sarasa Go Sign. Both runs came from well back with no late threat, so the favourable setup has to spark a sizeable turnaround.

Comments

Led and gave a sight when third at Mombetsu last start, though she was beaten just over five lengths and was easily accounted for late. The previous fifth behind El Viento Sopla was also only fair. Her one win and three placings from 15 attempts at this track and distance provide some grounding, but she has to sustain the run better to trouble the main hopes.

Comments

Comes through the strongest recent form, finishing second at Mombetsu last start when beaten half a length by Tiffany Sienne after travelling just off the lead and finishing strongly. He had gone under by only a nose to Penta Felice two back, and his two wins and four placings from ten starts at this track and distance are hard to fault. The beaten-favourite tag is noted, but he gets another ideal chance to convert.

Comments

Stayed competitive again when fourth behind Ficus Lyrata at Mombetsu, beaten a length and a half after being close enough on the turn. That followed a third to Sarasa Go Sign by the same margin, so the recent form is honest. The concern is the winless ten-start record, which points more to another placing chance than a runner to declare on top.

Produced a much better run when second at Mombetsu last start, beaten a nose by Ficus Lyrata after finishing strongly from well back at long odds. That was a clear lift on her prior eighth behind Sarasa Go Sign, where she was beaten over 11 lengths and made no impression. If she repeats the latest effort she can land in the minors, but the overall record still tempers the winning case.

Comes back from 1800m after being never competitive and beaten out of sight behind Bell Pit here last week. The prior run was also plain, finishing last behind Sarasa Go Sign after dropping right out. She gets 52kg and some class relief, but an unplaced record from 14 starts leaves her with a huge amount to find.

Comments

Returns from a five-week freshening after another sound second at Mombetsu, beaten a length and a half by Queen's Park when sent out favourite. She had been pipped late by Isoda the run prior and brings a consistent profile, including one win and five placings from twelve starts at this track and distance. The Meisho Karakusa form line is a query, but she remains a strong winning hope.

Comments

Returns from a five-week freshening after an 11th at Sapporo over 1200m, where she settled back and made no impression behind Red Eye Spear. Two back she was last at Hakodate Dirt and finished well held, so the race form is thin. The class drop and fourth run of the campaign give her some scope to improve, but she profiles as a cautious minor hope only.

Broke through in decisive style at Mombetsu last start, beating Techno Libertarian by three lengths after being heavily supported into very short odds-on territory. That followed a strong second to Grease, where she came from well back and closed powerfully. Her one win and four placings from eight starts at this track and distance read well, and she is a serious threat again.

Comments

Was fifth behind Luna Nuova at Mombetsu last start, beaten nine and a half lengths after giving away a big start and only working home fairly. The previous second-last behind Nishino Endeavor was no stronger, and he has not placed in eight attempts at this track and distance. A class drop is some help, but recent form leaves him well down the order.

Comments

Has placed at his past two runs, most recently second behind Desert Eagle at Mombetsu, though the seven-length margin keeps that form in perspective. His previous second to El Viento Sopla had merit after working home from midfield, and he has three wins overall. The record with Shoma Kanayama is positive, so he shapes as a sound place chance with some winning upside.
