Mombetsu Race 4 - Race 4 - 1200
MEISHO YAMAFUJI (8) Nice run when 3rd last run at this venue and showing consistent performance in races. Junji Tanaka stable are in good form of late but back in trip. Should be in the finish. AINEIAS (10) Espoir City 3yo having first race start for trainer Hiroyuki Oguni. Betting is the best guide. KIND OF YOU (11) Finished 6th last start at this venue. Should be rolling forward early from the wide alley. Worth a ticket. RIC STARK (4) Honest race when 2nd last start at this venue. Has to be included.

Made his debut at this track two weeks ago and finished fourth in a 3yo+ C4, working home evenly when beaten just over eight lengths by Bovenop Staan. He was near the top of an open market, so there was some expectation, and the class drop gives him a more suitable second-up platform. Lightly raced enough to improve, but he has to turn that even debut into a sharper closing effort.

Worked home from well back to run second at this track last start, though the margin was still six lengths behind Bovenop Staan and he was unwanted in the market. His previous fifth behind Full Vogue was also at big odds, and he has only two placings from 23 starts around 1200m. Race fitness and the class drop help, but his winning case remains thin on recent evidence.

Was safely held when eighth behind Full Vogue at this track last start, having led narrowly before being swamped and beaten eight and a half lengths. The run prior was more competitive, a third behind Over The Trouble when beaten just under three lengths despite being unwanted in betting. She has placed once at this track and distance, so a return to that earlier run keeps her in the placing conversation.

Lifted sharply when second behind Dr Akiyoshi at this track last start, racing close enough and sticking on bravely to be beaten two lengths despite being unwanted in the market. That was a far stronger effort than his ninth over 1000m, where he settled well back and made no impression. The distance record is modest, but his latest run gives him a genuine winning platform in this field.

Ran on from a long way back to finish third behind Bovenop Staan at this track last start, beaten just over six lengths at big odds. His prior seventh over 1000m was much plainer, beaten over 10 lengths after only working home evenly. He has one placing from four starts around 1200m and has placed twice with Yuji Iwahashi, so he profiles as a minor-money hope rather than a strong winning threat.

Returns from a two-month break after being tailed off at this track last start, where she was swamped in the run home behind Night Sailing. Her debut sixth behind Queen's Tampopo was more respectable, beaten just over seven lengths after racing close enough but lacking a turn of foot. The class drop and third-up profile are positives, yet she must produce a much stronger finish to land in the money.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing last behind Mana Moana at this track, beaten over 20 lengths after giving up meekly. She had also finished a distant last behind Night Sailing the run before, so the recent form is difficult to recommend. Her track-and-distance wins are genuine background, but current efforts fall a long way short of what is required.

Has placed in all three starts at this track and brings the most reliable recent form, most recently third behind Fujino Alpha over 1700m when beaten two and a half lengths as an odds-on favourite. The run prior was another sound third behind Sarang, and she has already placed at 1200m. Back in trip is the only small query, but her consistency and class drop make her the one to beat.

Finished strongly to run second behind Full Vogue at this track last start, beaten just under a length after looking unlikely early. Her previous fourth behind Eudaemonia was a plainer margin, but the overall profile is stronger than most: two wins and 13 placings from 55 starts at this track and distance, plus 52kg today. That proven base keeps her right among the main chances.

Debuts for Hiroyuki Oguni with Genta Ochiai booked, which is a useful starting point given the stable and rider both have strong track profiles. The trainer-sire combination has produced six wins and 17 placings from 41 starts, and the family includes several winners, headed by Admiralti and M O Max. With no race form, though, he is a watch-and-learn runner against exposed rivals.

Was sent out an odds-on favourite at this track last start but could finish only sixth behind Bovenop Staan, beaten eight and a half lengths after having the drop on the leaders. His previous fourth behind Full Vogue was sounder, beaten just over four lengths, and he has five placings from 11 starts at this track and distance. The wide barrier and last-start flop make him an each-way risk.

Returns from a two-month break after being never competitive and beaten out of sight behind Night Sailing at this track. The run prior was also poor, finishing second last behind Queen's Tampopo after settling well back and failing to improve. He has placed once from seven starts at this track and distance, but his recent margins leave him with a considerable turnaround to find.
