Mombetsu Race 8 - Race 8 - 1800
CORDIALITY (6) Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last run here. Shows good early pace. Going well this campaign. Recent form of Junji Tanaka is strong. Big chance. FORTINBRAS (4) Competitive effort when 2nd last time at this track. Recent form of the stable is strong. Will go well. DOCTOR STOP (2) Ran 4th last start at the track. Should bounce back and has a good draw. Winning hope. BACH (1) Sub-standard effort when 6th last start around here but has the ideal draw. Gets back and needs luck. Not hopeless.

Has been safely held at his past two runs, most recently sixth in a 3yo+ C3C4 at this track when beaten over 14 lengths after having the job ahead and failing to close off. The start prior was worse, finishing last and tailed off behind Moon Rainbow. He has won around 1800m, but current form leaves him with plenty to turn around.

Worked home respectably for fourth in a 3yo+ C3C4 at this track two weeks ago, beaten six and a half lengths after being an outside chance in betting. She was also sixth behind Telemachus the run prior, so the recent form is honest without being sharp. Four placings at around 1800m and the class drop keep her in the minor-money discussion.

Has shown little in two recent runs at this track, finishing second last each time and beaten a long way last start after conceding a huge start. The start prior was also plain, beaten over 16 lengths behind Telemachus at long odds. The class drop is some help, but her recent figures make this a demanding assignment.

Improved strongly at his first look at this track, finishing second in a 3yo+ C3C4 over 1800m and beaten two lengths by Kamuino Utage after picking up nicely late. He had been well held at Sapporo Dirt before that, but this is now his fourth run of the campaign and the class drop suits. With two placings from two starts at the distance, he gets a clear chance to break through.

Finished fifth in a 3yo+ C3C4 over 1600m at this track last start, beaten nine and a half lengths after being big odds and only fair to the line. Two back he was second last over 1000m and made no impression from well back. The class drop gives him a small opening, but he is unplaced in two runs around 1800m and profiles as a place hope at best.

Continues to hold his form, finishing third at this track in a 3yo+ C3C4 last start after being near the top of betting. He was also third behind Telemachus two back, and his record at this track and distance is a genuine strength with one win and two placings from three attempts. Fortinbras had his measure last time, but the overall profile still makes him a serious winning chance.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing 11th in a 3yo Maiden at Nakayama Dirt, beaten over 13 lengths and unwanted in the market. His previous fifth at Niigata Dirt was also a distant result, though he now gets a class drop and is third-up. Unplaced in four starts around 1800m, he requires a much sharper finish to press the main hopes.
