Mombetsu Race 9 - Race 9 - 1200
STEEL SPINEL (1) Narrowly denied a win last start at this venue and has the ideal alley. Should come to hand quickly. Performing impressively since returning from a spell. Winning hope. SUZUNO BON RAIMI (10) Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last run here. Can get the job done. SARASA GO SIGN (3) Was competitive when 2nd last run here. Displaying good ability this campaign. Among better hopes. QUEEN'S PARK (6) Ran 5th last time at this track. Has a great burst of speed late. Can go on with it.

Has put together two narrow seconds at this track, most recently beaten a head by Luna Nuova after leading and holding her spot to the turn. The start prior she came from well back to miss by the same margin behind Grandma's Dream, so the form has substance. The new 1200m assignment is the query, but her overall record and Ryu Abe's record on her keep her firmly in the place mix.

Has been well held in stronger recent company, finishing seventh last week in a C3C4 at this track when never a factor and beaten just over nine lengths. She was also unwanted in betting when sixth the run prior, despite finishing off fairly. The class drop is some help, but her 1200m record at this venue is poor and a sharp turnaround is required.

Comes through two sound C3C4 efforts at this track, running second to Excellen Winner last start after settling back and staying on, then fourth to Macalas the run prior when he caught the eye late. His record at this track and distance is honest without a win, and the rider has placed on him. He shapes as a genuine place hope rather than a dominant winning chance.

Returns from a four-month break after ending last campaign with a sixth at Hakodate Dirt, beaten just under five lengths after working home behind the placegetters. The run prior at Hanshin Dirt was only fair when she did not quicken. She has placed once from two tries at this distance, but she is still winless from six starts and has to lift fresh.

Was unable to build on his C4 win two starts back, finishing seventh at this track last start when big odds and only moderate late behind Bear Bruges. That prior win over Last Shiny came in a tight finish and he has a small positive record at this track and distance. Even so, the latest effort leaves him with work to do against the stronger chances.

Was expected to run well last start but finished fifth at this track, beaten four and a half lengths by Luna Nuova after settling well back and closing off. That followed a C4 win over 1000m, where she beat Tomono Tatsu Mi by a length and a half after kicking strongly. She has enough upside to be included for exotics, though a winning case demands more authority.

Finished eighth behind Bear Bruges at this track last start, beaten six lengths after producing only a moderate final effort. His third two back in C3C4 grade also came with a six-length margin, so recent results leave him short of the main chances. Proven at this track and distance and well paired with Masaaki Kuwamura, but he must close off with far more purpose.

Bounced back strongly at this track last start, winning a C4 from Mechanic Ballet by just under a length after working into the race smoothly and going home too well. Her previous Sapporo run was well below that level, but this looks a more suitable profile and she is already a winner at the venue and distance. With Yamato Ishikawa staying aboard, she is a serious winning chance.

Was second last behind Bear Bruges at this track last start, beaten just over six lengths at long odds and only fair through the line. He had won a C4 the run prior, finishing over the top of Luna Nuova at big odds, so there is a peak in the profile. The issue is reliability, and his long track-and-distance record suggests he will have to reproduce his very best.

Was heavily supported into very short odds last start and was only run down late by Bear Bruges, finishing second by half a length at this track. That followed a strong C4 win over Mechanic Ballet, where she gave a kick and held them safely. The odds-on defeat is a small mark against her, but her track, distance and jockey records make her a strong winning player again.

Has been around the mark in two recent runs at this track, finishing fourth behind Bear Bruges last start when beaten just over two lengths after settling rearward. Before that he was third to Kaseno Force in C3C4 grade, looming but not really threatening. The 1200m suits and his record with Fuma Ono is solid, though Suzuno Bon Raimi still holds a recent edge.

Produced the standout recent win when resuming at this track, scoring by seven lengths in C4 grade after leading to the turn and keeping finding with plenty in reserve. He steps back to 1200m, where his only previous attempt was unplaced, but that fresh victory showed enough strength to offset the query. Second-up, with the winning rider aboard again, he sets the standard.
