Mombetsu Race 1

1600

Prize Money: $7,550

RAY SPRINT (6) has the cleanest profile, having placed at both starts at Mombetsu and closed off strongly when third to Keiki Kane after again starting odds-on. He is third-up now, comes through a leading stable and has enough upside to turn those placings into a win. HALYARD (7) is the main danger after a sharp lift when third to Virgin Rainbow, beaten just under a length at big odds, and his previous run also contained a late finish despite being well beaten. CALM RING (1) brings the most direct form reference, having run second in that same Virgin Rainbow race and finished ahead of HALYARD, though she still has only one placing from six starts. MIRAVIE (3) has been well beaten at his past two, including behind Virgin Rainbow, but the class drop and recent ratings keep him in the wider place discussion if he can rebound.

Comments

Improved sharply when second to Virgin Rainbow at Mombetsu last start, beaten just under a length in a 12-runner race after starting at long odds. That was a clear step up from her previous seventh over 1100m here when safely held behind Aquarium. She also had Halyard covered a couple of weeks ago, so the latest run gives her a genuine platform to hold a minor placing again.

Comments

Has been plain in two recent 1000m runs at Mombetsu, finishing fifth last start behind Davay Crystal when beaten over 10 lengths after settling midfield. The run prior carried more market expectation as an odds-on favourite, but she was still beaten just over four lengths by M T Rouge. The rise in trip is a query, and a sizeable lift is required.

Comments

Comes here off two heavy defeats, most recently ninth behind Virgin Rainbow at Mombetsu when beaten over 12 lengths without a clear excuse. He had also failed as favourite the start prior, dropping out to be beaten over 20 lengths by Overcrowd. The class drop and recent rating profile keep him in the place mix, but the distance record is still a genuine concern.

Comments

Returns from a six-week freshening after finishing fourth behind Bellagio Miraggio at Mombetsu, beaten just over eight lengths at long odds. His previous sixth behind Malatang was also only fair, beaten six and a half lengths after being big odds. The class drop helps his setup, but he is unplaced at this distance and has to produce a stronger closing effort.

Comments

Has been well beaten at her past two, finishing seventh behind Overcrowd at Mombetsu after conceding a huge start and never getting into the race. Before that she was seventh over 1000m behind Afro Kero, beaten just over nine lengths after settling well back. The class drop is some help, but her current pattern leaves her with plenty to turn around.

Comments

Has placed in both starts at Mombetsu and now gets his chance to convert. He finished strongly for third behind Keiki Kane last start, beaten three and a half lengths after being sent out an odds-on favourite, and had just failed to hang on when second to Vin Flor on debut. Third-up for a leading stable, his consistency and upside make him the runner to beat.

Comments

Lifted markedly when third behind Virgin Rainbow at Mombetsu last start, beaten just under a length at big odds. That followed a sixth to Overcrowd where he was well beaten but still made some late ground from well back. The distance remains a small query, yet his latest result is one of the better recent pieces of form in this field and puts him firmly in the winning mix.
