Mombetsu Race 10

1200

Prize Money: $9,815

MAHO (3) looks the horse to beat after a sharp Mombetsu win where she put three lengths on Denno Girl and did so with plenty in hand. The one-month gap is no concern on the supplied form, though she still has to confirm that level after an earlier sixth behind Tradescantia. DEL PIERO (2) is the most reliable profile, having placed at all five starts and all four attempts at this track and distance, but two defeats as a short odds-on favourite temper the confidence. A SHIN SURYA (4) also arrives off a win, scoring as favourite by a length and a half, and his 1200m record keeps him right in the mix for the minors. CHARTER (8) won clearly on debut over 1000m and has upside, but the rise to 1200m is the new question against more exposed rivals.

Comments

Safely held at Mombetsu last start when seventh behind Sirindhorn, beaten over 11 lengths at big odds after having many lengths to make up and never looking likely. The run prior was better, finishing fourth behind Radio Girl and closing from an unpromising spot, but she was again a big price. A previous track win gives her some grounding, yet the 1200m record and latest margin leave a clear improvement task.

Expected Settling Position: Off Midfield

Comments

Has built a very dependable profile, placing in all five starts and missing neither the frame nor the quinella often at this trip. Third to Sirindhorn here last start was solid enough, though he was beaten just over three lengths as a short odds-on favourite after settling rearward. Two back he was second to A Shin Freude by half a length. The reliability is the attraction, but he needs to convert market trust into a win.

Comments

Returns from a one-month freshening after producing her best run to date at Mombetsu, beating Denno Girl by three lengths when near the top of an open market. She travelled with a slim advantage and let down strongly, a sharp rebound from a sixth behind Tradescantia when beaten just over eight lengths. With Fuma Ono having already won on her, she brings the right last-start authority if the 1200m poses no issue.

Comments

Broke through neatly at Mombetsu last start, scoring by a length and a half from Medium Cellar after settling rearward as favourite. That was a clear response to his fifth over 1700m the run prior, where he settled prominently and faded late behind Reviendra. His 1200m record is sound with a win and a placing from two attempts, so he profiles as a genuine place chance with winning form in the book.

Comments

Dropped right out at Mombetsu last start, finishing last behind Sirindhorn and well beaten by 22 lengths at big odds after racing just off the lead. Her previous fourth behind A Shin Freude was more competitive, beaten just under four lengths after leading, but she was unwanted in the market there. She can roll forward again, although two unplaced runs at the distance make this a narrow each-way case at best.

Comments

Produced a sharp turnaround at Mombetsu last start, beating Aster Ray by five lengths after having work to do and then finishing off with real purpose. That came after a plain sixth over 1700m behind River Luminous, beaten over 11 lengths when unable to make ground. One win and one placing from two runs at this distance is encouraging, but he still has to show the latest win was not an isolated spike.

Comments

Finished fifth behind Lady Pink over 1000m here last start, beaten just over five lengths after sitting close enough and lacking the dash to be competitive. His previous sixth behind A Shin Freude was similar, only fair to the line and beaten just under five lengths. A past win at this distance is a positive, but recent finishing efforts leave him needing to find more late strength.

Comments

Made a clean start to his career at Mombetsu, winning by three lengths from A Shin Gunter over 1000m as favourite after leading and kicking strongly. He is second-up now and clearly has natural speed, which gives him a simple racing pattern if he handles the rise in trip. The 1200m test is the unknown against runners with more race experience, so he is a legitimate place hope with upside.

Expected Settling Position: Leader
