Mombetsu Race 7 - Race 7 - 1200
FORTUNE BELL (5) In the money when 2nd last start at the track and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Does take a while to get into stride. Appears well in this. MANA MOANA (7) Finished 5th last run here. Likely to bounce back. Has the ability to figure. KITANO ON THE BUS (8) Ran 4th last time at this track. Happy to overlook that run. Possesses very good closing speed. Must respect in this event. ISESSEI (3) Was competitive when 3rd last start at the track. Should get going late. Among the major players.

Returns from a lengthy spell after weakening to ninth in a Mdn over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt, beaten over 12 lengths after holding a narrow lead. His debut fourth behind Geostrategy was better, though still beaten eight and a half lengths at big odds. He is untried around 1200m and has plenty to prove fresh against runners with sharper recent form.

Finished last over 1600m at this track two weeks ago, beaten seven and a half lengths after settling rearward and making no impression. The start prior was only fair when sixth over 1700m, and his 1200m record is a clear concern with no placings from 29 starts around the trip. Despite being race fit, his recent form leaves him hard to support.

Worked into third at this track last start, beaten five lengths by Mechanic Ballet, after a previous fourth where she picked up nicely in the straight. She remains a maiden and has only one placing from five starts around 1200m, but the weight relief is a genuine advantage and her recent form reads well for this. With that lighter impost, she gets a strong chance to break through.

Worked home fairly without threatening when sixth at this track last start, beaten eight lengths by Taurus at long odds. His previous run at Chukyo was a tenth in a Mdn, again from well back and never likely. Unplaced from ten career starts and winless around 1200m, he has to lift on recent figures to turn that each-way profile into something stronger.

Has put together consecutive placings at this track, most recently second to Mechanic Ballet after sitting close enough but being unable to improve late. The prior third behind Isn'T It adds consistency, and her track-and-trip record of one win and four placings from ten starts is a major asset. She has the exposed 1200m form to take this out.

Was fifth at this track last start, beaten eight and a half lengths by Daiyu Saltare after having plenty of ground to make up. Her previous fourth behind Champion Yamato was more competitive, beaten just over two lengths, but she remains unplaced from seven starts and has no placing from three tries around 1200m. A repeat of that better run gives her a minor hope only.

Closed off fairly into fifth at this track last start, beaten six lengths by Taurus, after conceding a big start when sixth behind Isn'T It. She has a win and four placings from 13 starts around 1200m and has placed three times from five rides with Yamato Ishikawa. The winning edge is not obvious on recent margins, but she has a genuine place base.

Has been fourth at her past two starts at this track, beaten four and a half lengths by Taurus last time after making late ground and three and a half lengths behind Champion Road the run prior. The maiden record remains the knock, with just one placing from nine starts, but her finishing pattern has been sound and the leading jockey-trainer combination keeps her in the mix.
