Mombetsu Race 12 - Race 12 - 1200

CLEVER BEN (4) Landed the spoils when winning by 1 1/2L last time around here and showing improvement in recent outings. Going well this preparation. Jockey Yuuji Iwahashi has been successful before. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. TAISEI SCHALT (12) Left nothing to chance when winning by 2 1/2L last run around here and proven performer at this trip. Can't knock the form winning 2 on the bounce. One of the major players. EARTH CALLING (6) Ran 5th last run at this venue. No shock to see a win. WIN STRATEGY (9) Ran 4th last run at the track. Yamato Ishikawa is a bonus. Has scope so do not ignore.

Returns after four weeks since a plain ninth at this track, where he was sent out favourite but offered little once asked and finished beaten six and a half lengths by Fine Kic. The run prior was better, a two-length second to Dual Career when he fought on, and he is third-up with a leading jockey engaged. Even so, one placing from four tries around 1200m leaves him with a clear task to restore confidence.

Back after four weeks following another safely held run at this track, finishing seventh behind Fine Kic when unwanted in the market. He did make some late ground from well back, as he had when sixth to Dual Career, but neither run suggested a winning threat. The old track-and-trip record is respected, yet he is unplaced from eight starts in the past 12 months and must find far more.

Worked home only moderately when sixth over 1000m at this track last start, beaten four and a half lengths by Animal Fruits after settling midfield. Her previous third behind Nishiken Cabal was a better guide, with a handy run and a fair effort at generous odds. Ryu Abe returns and her overall record is honest enough, so she profiles as a realistic place chance rather than a strong win play.

Comes off a strong B4 win at this track, beating Universal Love by a length and a half as favourite and proving too strong late. That followed a solid third behind Himalaya Veloz, so the recent form has both consistency and substance. Her five wins and eight places from 17 at this track and distance, plus a strong record with Yuji Iwahashi, make her a major player again.

Finished second last behind Win Tolkien at this track last start, beaten just under eight lengths after coming under pressure late, and the market gave little encouragement. His fifth to Fine Kic beforehand was only fair through the line at big odds. He has placed at this track and distance, but the recent evidence is too plain to make a strong case against better-credentialed rivals.

Was below his winning standard when fifth behind Win Tolkien at this track last start, beaten three and a half lengths after settling rearward. The start prior carries more weight, as he won a B4 over 1000m at this venue as a well-supported favourite from Cilantro. His 1200m record is the genuine query, but he has enough recent winning form to rebound into the main chances.

Improved sharply when third to Win Tolkien at this track last start, beaten just over two lengths after only being run down late at long odds. That was a much stronger effort than her second-last behind Fine Kic, where she offered little late. She is proven at this track and distance and stays on 52kg, so the place case is fair if she holds that last-start level.

Was ninth behind Win Tolkien at this track last start, beaten just over seven lengths after having plenty to do and failing to come into the race. She had also been safely held when sixth to Fine Kic, despite being near the top of betting. Her track-and-distance record is strong on paper, but recent performances have not matched that profile and a marked turnaround is required.

Ran fourth behind Win Tolkien at this track last start, beaten two and a half lengths after settling rearward, and that was a step back in the right direction. Two runs ago he conceded a huge start and was never close to Dual Career. His long-term 1200m record and excellent partnership with Yamato Ishikawa give him place credentials, though he still has to turn the recent margins into a sharper finish.

Finished last behind Win Tolkien at this track last start, beaten over 14 lengths, after conceding a huge start and never taking part. The previous tenth behind Fine Kic was similar, with long odds and no real impact. He is unplaced from five starts at this track and distance, so even with race fitness on his side the current form line leaves him hard to recommend.

Led before fading to sixth behind Win Tolkien at this track last start, beaten four and a half lengths, so the performance had merit for a fair way but lacked finish. He was fourth to Fine Kic the run prior and had market respect there, which keeps him in the minor mix. The concern is his record at this track and distance, where he remains unplaced from five attempts.

Comes in off two decisive B4 wins at this track, most recently beating Piena Cresco by two and a half lengths after extending strongly from the front division. He had beaten the same runner by three lengths the start prior, so the form line is clean and reliable. With four wins and two places from ten at this track and distance and a proven rider combination, he sets the standard.
