MOMBETSU 03 July 2024

NUM	TIME	COMMENT
1	02:35	Race 1 1000m EDDIE (2) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 5.5 lengths back in sixth over 1200m at this track. He is better off over 1000 metres and can take this out. SCHON SERENADE (10) finished out of the money two starts back and then finished eighth over 1000m at this track two weeks ago. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot figure in the finish this time. OGURI YONSEI (6) was out of the money two runs back then finished a solid fourth last time out. Include in all combinations. EMERAL GREEN (4) has been kept fresh for this since a disappointing eighth last start over 1000m at this track eight weeks ago. Top-three contender in an average lineup.
2	03:05	Race 2 1700m PAGEANT (4) will find this a little easier than his third on debut three weeks ago, beaten 4.5 lengths at the end of 1700m at this track. Sure to take a lot from that hitout so a big run is anticipated. ASAMA (8) was a solid second on debut three weeks ago, beaten half a length at the end of 1700m at this track. Will benefit from that experience so he shouldn't be a maiden for long. SHIRO KIRK (5) is yet to break through in three runs. Finished sixth at his last appearance over 1700m at this track on June 20 after he gave away a big start. Finds the right race and is worth each-way consideration. KING OF WORLD (2) finished 7 lengths from the winner in fourth after being in the firing line on the turn at his most recent appearance over 1700m at this track. Solid top-three chance in an even contest.
3	03:35	Race 3 1200m KOMORI KEYSTONE (7) made considerable ground in the run home to finish second last start over 1100m at this track. Should be getting home hard and is set to go one better this time. PHARMA BEAUTY (4) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.5 lengths from the winner in second over 1200m at this track after being prominent at the bend. Ideally placed and is sure to be there at the finish. NORD STELLA (9) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing seventh and beaten 9 lengths starting at $8.10. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done. BLUE ASTERISK (10) could only manage to finish seventh after being in the firing line on the corner at her latest appearance over 1200m at this track. Her third before that is a better guide and she is worth another chance. Include in all multiples.
4	04:05	Race 4 1100m STELLA BIANCA (4) is on debut for the Junji Tanaka stable. Two-year-old colt by Danon Legend from Ti Adoro. Sure to acquit himself well. Betting the key. YAMASHO L SAN (5) is a two-year-old colt by Greater London out of Yamasho L set to debut for the Nozomi Ono stable. Should acquit himself well. Keep an eye out for any positive market movement. GERE SECOND (6) is a two-year-old colt by Kyoei Gere out of Modish set to debut for the Hiroyuki Oguni stable. Worth including if well in commission. ANOTHER MATE (7) is a two-year-old filly on debut by Discreet Cat from Bride's Mate who has produced a high percentage of winners-to-runners. Sure to be well-educated, being from the Hideki Kakugawa stable. Looks one of the better chances despite a difficult gate.
5	04:35	Race 5 1100m HAPPY THALIA (1) is a two-year-old filly by Hokko Tarumae out of Koyo Thalia stepping out on debut for the Hiroto Kawashima stable. Should be primed for a strong showing. Keep an eye on betting. CREVASSE (2) is on debut for the Nozomi Ono stable. Two-year-old filly by Apollo Kentucky from Crayon Rouge. Looks a definite contender, particularly if the money comes. ROSE DE RESCHT (4) is a two-year-old filly by Deep Sky out of Kawai Michiko on debut for the Masahiro Saito stable. The markets will be your best guide in this race. TRULY AI (5) is a two-year-old filly on debut from the stable of Junji Tanaka. By Yours Truly from Lavender Hisui. Worth watching for a betting push.
6	05:05	Race 6 1200m JUGEMOON (4) is an honest type who impressed last time, scoring by 5 lengths over 1000m at this track. He is still on the up and will be hard to beat again. BOW APPEARS (1) broke through for his maiden win over 1000m at this track last time. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Shaping up nicely and he is one of the main chances. LADY TIARA (5) impressed when successful as favourite on debut over 1100m at this track four weeks ago. Will come on following that run; definite threat. LAVEY (2) showed good early speed over 1000m at this track on debut last start and went on to salute by 2.5 lengths. He meets an even lineup and he can take the next step immediately.
7	05:35	Race 7 1700m MATENRO GARDEN (9) has strung together a couple of wins at this course, the latest on June 19 over 1700m when he scored by one length. He is in a good space and can complete the hat-trick. PRETTY KISS (2) is a four-start maiden who finished well back last start over 1800m at Tokyo. Fitter for that outing and is a great chance to break her maiden status in an easier lineup. BALALAIKA (5) gave a bold sight at the latest appearance over 1700m at this track but dropped out to finish seventh. Her form prior was good and she is worth another chance. SHIYU BLACK (6) is back after a break of nine weeks and looks very well placed at NAR level. Each way claims fresh up.
8	06:10	Race 8 1200m QUEEN'S ARTEMIS (7) wasted no time getting off the mark as favourite on debut over 1000m at this track two weeks ago. Promising type who can measure up again. PRIME BLUE (2) was unplaced on debut then last start finished second over 1200m at this track. Nicely placed to find winning ways. ALMA ROSARIO (4) was a determined maiden winner last time out, scoring by one length over 1200m at this track. Winning rider Mitsuyuki Miyazaki sticks and she is worth including. MEINER BRAVO (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at this track. Outside of the top 3 picks this field lacks depth and he is capable of figuring in the finish this time.
9	06:45	Race 9 1200m COPANO ALBER (8) was in contention all the way and fought on for third last start over 1200m at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. Should park just off the speed. Looks well-placed in this line-up so expect another big run. TAIKI LEVIN (9) has been out of the frame at his last couple of runs, last time finishing 6 lengths back in ninth over 1400m at Tokyo. He will be suited to NAR level racing and a form reversal is expected. SKIP A BEAT (5) ran below expectations when fresh from a spell at this track over 1200m last time, finishing eighth. He strips fitter and is worth following up. WANGBI (6) was in contention on the turn and finished second last time over 1200m at this track, beaten one length. In the right race and is sure to be right in the finish again.
10	07:20	Race 10 1000m SHIBANO TEN TEN (7) returned from a spell two weeks ago when she was beaten 6 lengths into fourth over 1000m at this track. Likely improver second up and a win here would be no surprise. KUSEMONO (9) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 22 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when seventh over 1000m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. He is worth including in all combinations in a field that lacks depth. TOKEN ARTHUR (2) settled well back but hit the line well to finish fifth over 1000m here last time. He has sound place claims in this field. PURE KISHO (8) is returning from a spell of 12 weeks. Finished seventh at Fukushima Dirt over 1150m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Masakazu Murakami and he can improve at NAR level. Watch the markets closely.
11	08:00	Race 11 1200m PIERRE OREGON (4) was an impressive winner last time over 1000m at this track, leading throughout and putting 4 lengths on his rivals. He is a very progressive type who will only be fitter second up. On top again. ICARUS CAFE (5) was quickly into stride over 1200m at this track last time and dug deep to score by 2 lengths. Best figures measure up and he is the main threat to the top pick, if there is one. SECRET LOGO (10) turned in a fine effort to score by one length at today's course and distance when first-up from a break last time out. Nicely placed to keep the ball rolling. HONEYBERRY (6) did a great job to score by 2 lengths over this course and distance last time out to build on a solid first-up effort. Looks well placed so expect another big run in a very competitive lineup.
12	08:40	Race 12 1700m NISHIKEN BOB (10) scored last time over 1800m at this track, making it three victories from three appearances this time in. This is his optimum trip with five wins from nine starts and is sure to play a big role again. B B GAUDI (5) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second last time over 1800m at this track. This veteran always tried his best and another honest effort is on the cards. BANKABLE STAR (2) produced a good effort when narrowly defeated last time at this track over 1800m. Leading player again. DOTERAI YATSU (9) was safely held when eighth last time out over 2000m at this track after a win here at his previous outing. In the mix in what is a very competitive contest.
