Race 1 1000m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Sizzling pace from Dan Stone Forte, Luci Fos and Taisei Allure locking horns ahead of Cutie Hope and Sanyo Toppako. DAN STONE FORTE (5) sets the standard after successive Mombetsu placings, the latest a head second behind Dusty Miller as odds-on favourite. She still has to convert that consistency into a win, but her recent 1000m form is the cleanest reference in the race. SANYO TOPPAKO (7) has been beaten in both recent fifths, yet she has enough exposed form to improve in a race lacking depth if the drop in task brings her on. TAISEI ALLURE (1) is better judged on her earlier Mombetsu placings than her latest sixth behind Ba Schnell, with four placings from four tries at this track and distance a strong counterpoint. ZINDABAD (8) is the value danger after a one-length second to Afro Kero at huge odds, though she must prove that spike was no one-off after a five-week break.

TAISEI ALLURE
JUNJI TANAKA 2YO CHESTNUT FILLY 55.0KG Led at Mombetsu last start and faded to sixth behind Ba Schnell, beaten just over eight lengths after being near the top of betting. Her previous third behind Afro Kero, beaten two lengths as an odds-on favourite, reads better and she has placed in all four attempts at this track and distance. The win still has to come, but the inside draw and proven 1000m profile keep her right in the contest. |

LUCI FOS
KUNIAKI SASAKI 2YO BAY COLT 56.0KG Returns from a six-week let-up after finishing second last behind Wilfred at Mombetsu, beaten over 13 lengths at long odds. He was close enough at the turn there and still dropped out, while his debut fifth behind Nishiken Tazu was also safely held. Third-up fitness and a class drop are minor positives, but he needs a clear form turnaround to trouble these. |

GAMBARINASAITO
TAKAHIRO ISHIMOTO 2YO DK B COLT 53.0KG Has been well beaten in all three starts and again made no impression when second last behind Southern The Baron at Mombetsu, beaten over 15 lengths at long odds. The start prior was no better, finishing tenth behind Head Scissors by over 16 lengths. Dan Stone Forte has already had his measure, so a major step forward is required. |

BLACK REISHI
MASAKAZU MURAKAMI 2YO DK B FILLY 54.0KG Kept on from a rearward position when ninth behind Will Matic at Mombetsu, beaten just over eight lengths after being unwanted in the market. That was an improvement on her previous eighth behind Yui Fire, where she was beaten over 12 lengths and weakened late. The class drop gives her some place appeal, but she still needs to find more finish. |

DAN STONE FORTE
MASAHIRO SAITO 2YO BAY FILLY 55.0KG Went within a head of breaking through at Mombetsu last start when second to Dusty Miller as the odds-on favourite, having led to the turn. She had also run second behind Head Scissors at her previous outing and has now placed twice from four starts at this track and distance. The defeat as favourite is the knock, but her recent form is the strongest winning platform here. |
5 YUKI MIYAUCHI |

RIKO CUCKOO
TAKAHIRO MATSUMOTO 2YO CHESTNUT FILLY 55.0KG Finished ninth behind Kemo Sahbee at Mombetsu last start, beaten over 11 lengths after settling well back and making no late impression. Her debut ninth behind Queen's Family was a similar story, with another margin beyond 11 lengths. Third-up fitness may help, but the recent evidence says she has a sizeable gap to close. |
6 YUJI IWAHASHI |
|
| 7 | 3455 |
SANYO TOPPAKO
KAZUHISA YAMADA 2YO BAY FILLY 55.0KG Was fifth behind Alphonsina at Mombetsu last start, beaten nine and a half lengths after racing just off the leaders and failing to quicken. The run prior had a little more merit, finishing fifth behind Ikor by five and a half lengths after making some late ground. She is still a maiden with only one placing from four, but this setup gives her a genuine chance to improve. |
7 TAKAFUMI HATTORI |
|
| 8 | 882 |
ZINDABAD
MORIYAMA TAKEHIRO 2YO BAY FILLY 55.0KG Returns from a five-week let-up after a much-improved second to Afro Kero at Mombetsu, beaten a length despite being unwanted in the market. That run also put her ahead of Taisei Allure, which matters here. The concern is that her prior eighth behind Tradescantia was plain, but if she holds the latest level she is a genuine place chance again. |
8 MANATO KUROSAWA |
|
| 9 | 30432 |
CUTIE HOPE
NOZOMI ONO 2YO BAY FILLY 55.0KG Worked home evenly for second behind Southern The Baron at Mombetsu last start, beaten five lengths at generous odds. She had earlier run third behind Head Scissors when sent out favourite, so the form is consistent even if the margins say she still needs to find a winning edge. Three placings from four track-and-distance runs make her a solid minor-money hope. |
9 FUMA ONO |
|
| 10 | 83 |
BARI MAKER
HIROYUKI OGUNI 2YO BROWN FILLY 55.0KG Improved sharply at her second start when third to Dusty Miller at Mombetsu, beaten two and a half lengths despite being unwanted in the market. Her debut behind New Melody was a heavy defeat, so the latest run is clearly the one to assess her on. With Yamato Ishikawa aboard for a leading stable, she has enough upside to be considered for the placings. |
10 YAMATO ISHIKAWA |
|
| 11 | 88898 |
ALBA MIO
KUNIO HIMORI 2YO BAY FILLY 55.0KG Led to the turn but was safely held when eighth behind Will Matic at Mombetsu, beaten seven and a half lengths at big odds. Her previous run was a tailed-off last over 1700m behind Reviendra, and she remains unplaced from six starts overall. The return to 1000m is some context, but she must show a lot more under pressure. |
11 SHOMA KANAYAMA |

BEST GARDEN
HIDEKI KAKUGAWA 2YO BAY FILLY 55.0KG Was never a factor when second last behind Will Matic at Mombetsu, beaten over 11 lengths after being unwanted in the market. That followed a seventh behind Oryza Nova, beaten nine and a half lengths, and she is still unplaced from six starts at this track. The rider and stable are capable, but her recent form leaves others clearly ahead. |
