Mombetsu Race 8 - Race 8 - 1200
ANGEL (8) Scored a victory by 3/4L last time at the track and solid performer at this distance in the past. Keeping a perfect win record the last 7 attempts. Respect in this company. BELLAGIO ZERO (3) Ran 5th last start at the track. Expected to rebound. Have to respect the recent stable form. Yuuji Iwahashi has multiple wins aboard. Has the ability to figure. KAMIWA MATTEIRU (5) Fought on well to win a tight contest by a nose last start at this venue and gets a reduction in weight. Displays good tactical speed. Better claims. MIDNIGHT GALE (2) Disappointing outing when 9th last start at this venue but can find a nice position from the draw. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Can win at odds.

Finished last over 1000m at this track last start, beaten nine lengths, and the market gave little encouragement. The start prior was no better, as he led over 1700m before being claimed and dropping out alarmingly to be beaten a long way. His 1200m record has depth, but current form is well short of what is required here.

Failed to come on after sitting behind the leaders over 1000m at this track last start, finishing last and beaten eight and a half lengths. Her previous A3 fourth behind Trevena was far better, beaten a length and a half after leading and working home evenly. Carries only 52kg and has placed at this track and distance, but she looks more an each-way hope than a key winning chance.

Has been close enough without quite finishing the job in two runs this campaign, most recently fifth behind Steel Pegasus at this track when beaten two and a half lengths. The run prior was another fifth, behind Angel in A3 company, after tracking the speed and failing to finish off. Third-up, with Yuji Iwahashi back and a strong jockey-horse record, he has solid place credentials.

Was second last behind Steel Pegasus at this track last start, beaten just over six lengths at long odds, and that followed a battling seventh behind Angel in A3 company. His record of six wins and 15 placings from 44 starts at this track and distance is genuine, but recent form has not matched that profile. Others bring sharper claims.

Held on to win over 1200m at this track last start, scoring by a nose from Purea Legend as a short odds-on favourite. The start prior reads well, as he gave a sight before being run down late by Angel in A3 company, beaten just under a length at long odds. With four wins and four placings from twelve runs at this track and distance, he is a genuine top-four player.

Was beaten just over three lengths when seventh behind Steel Pegasus at this track last start, which was sound enough without demanding a major upgrade. His prior win came in a five-runner race, beating Destello by a length, so the strength of that form is still open to question. One win from three starts at this track and distance helps, but he has to find more.

Resumed with a strong third behind Steel Pegasus at this track, beaten just under a length despite starting at long odds. Her previous run over 1000m had merit too, as she settled rearward and worked home well when fourth behind Gyro. Second-up now and backed by five wins and twelve placings from 28 starts at this track and distance, she shapes as a serious danger.

Returns from a one-month let-up in outstanding order, chasing an eighth straight win after beating Kamiwa Matteiru by just under a length in A3 company at this track. He had won an A2 the start prior by two lengths and his overall record is exceptional: ten wins and two placings from twelve starts. With eight wins and one placing from nine runs at this track and distance, he is clearly the one to beat.

Finished sixth behind Steel Pegasus at this track last start, beaten just over three lengths at big odds, which keeps him in the minor-money conversation. Two back over 1000m he was seventh behind Wonder Woman but worked home from well back, showing he still has some finish when the race allows. With Genta Ochiai aboard and two wins in the past 12 months, he can run into a placing.
