GOING:

Race 1 1700m

Track:      

Anticipate Aufgabe, Enten Gabi and Ekahi Lio to set a strong tempo. FULL OF POPS (12) brings the most dependable recent form into this 1700m contest, with seconds at his past two Mombetsu runs and a strong track-and-distance profile for a maiden. He also had the measure of Starry Laura and Ekahi Lio here a couple of weeks ago, which gives his case clear substance. EKAHI LIO (3) appeals as the main danger after a fourth behind Reviendra and a third to Black Tycoon, with that earlier placing showing she is close enough if the 1700m suits. STARRY LAURA (8) has been steady rather than brilliant, finishing fourth at her past two, but her consistency keeps her in the winning mix. RYUNO PIRATES (9) must rebound from a last-start failure, yet the head second to Oryza Recolte two runs back is good enough to make him a genuine threat if repeated.
1 76000 MADAM EYE
MORIYAMA TAKEHIRO
2YO  CHESTNUT  FILLY 55.0KG

Finished well held as second last behind Overcrowd at Mombetsu last start after settling rearward, and there was no obvious excuse in the run. The start prior was no better, when last behind Banshee Harpy over 1000m and unwanted in the market. She is unplaced in six starts overall and needs a major form turnaround to trouble these.

SHINYA MATSUI
RED, MEDIUM BLUE CHECKS, MEDIUM BLUE SLEEVES, White cap
2 07278 ISELTWALD
MASAHIRO SAITO
2YO  GREY  FILLY 55.0KG

Settled back and finished eighth behind Ba Schnell over 1100m at Mombetsu last start, beaten eight and a half lengths at long odds. Two back she worked home fairly from well back when seventh to Ikor, but the rise to 1700m remains a genuine query. Her lone placing gives a small base, though she must find more substance late.

TAKAFUMI HATTORI
MEDIUM BLUE, YELLOW DIAMOND BAND, MAGENTA SLEEVES, Black cap
3 4434 EKAHI LIO
Fuyuki Igarashi
2YO  DK B  FILLY 55.0KG

Made ground into fourth behind Reviendra at Mombetsu last start after being respected near the top of betting, and that followed a sound third to Black Tycoon when beaten just under three lengths. She has placed once from three tries at this track and distance and races handy enough to use barrier three. The trip remains the main query, but her recent form reads well for this.
3
YUJI IWAHASHI
BLACK, WHITE STAR, WHITE SLEEVES, BLACK STRIPE, Red cap
4 77 ENTEN GABI
KUNIAKI SASAKI
2YO  BAY  FILLY 55.0KG

Conceded a big start and was beaten over 11 lengths behind Alphonsina over 1100m at Mombetsu last start, despite being fair through the line. Her debut seventh to Vin Flor was also a long way from the winner at long odds. She is third-up now, but the sharp rise in distance asks for clear improvement.

YOJI KAMEI
WHITE, RED CHECKS, WHITE SLEEVES, RED ARMBANDS, Blue cap
5 4090 JUDENBURG
Fuyuki Igarashi
2YO  BAY  COLT 55.0KG

Was never involved when tenth behind A Shin Surya over 1200m at Mombetsu last start, beaten over 12 lengths at long odds. The previous ninth to Combat Patrie over 1000m was similar, with the colt settling rearward and making no impression. Unplaced in four starts here, he needs a much stronger closing effort.
5
RYOGA FUJITA
YELLOW, BLUE RIGHT SASH, BLUE ARMBANDS, Yellow cap
6 80676 GATTO TEMPESTA
MASAHIRO SAITO
2YO  DK B  COLT 56.0KG

Was still well back and unable to make an impression when sixth behind Ange Merci over 1000m at Mombetsu last start, beaten over 11 lengths. The run prior was weaker again, finishing seventh behind A Shin Bliss and beaten a long way. He is race fit and gets class-drop support, but his place case relies on notable improvement at 1700m.

SHOMA KANAYAMA
WHITE, GREEN CHECKS, WHITE SLEEVES, RED ARMBANDS, Yellow cap
7 75258 AUFGABE
HIDEKI KAKUGAWA
2YO  DK B  COLT 56.0KG

Had plenty to do before finishing eighth behind A Shin Surya over 1200m at Mombetsu last start, beaten five and a half lengths. He had earlier run fifth to Maho as one of the better-fancied runners but lacked a change of gears. The rider and stable profile are positives, yet his unplaced run at this distance keeps the outlook guarded.

WHITE , MEDIUM BLUE STARS, WHITE SLEEVES, MEDIUM BLUE STARS, Green cap
8 72544 STARRY LAURA
MORIYAMA TAKEHIRO
2YO  CHESTNUT  FILLY 55.0KG

Finished fourth behind Keiki Kane at Mombetsu last start, beaten five lengths after settling rearward and being near the top of betting. The previous fourth to River Luminous was similar, with no sharp change-up when required. She has placed once from four at this track and distance, so the consistency is useful, but she still needs to turn those fourths into a stronger winning push.

BLACK, LIGHT PINK DIABLO, BLACK SLEEVES, LIGHT PINK DOUBLE ARMBANDS, LIGHT PINK COLLAR, Green cap
9 4428 RYUNO PIRATES
Fuyuki Igarashi
2YO  BAY  COLT 56.0KG

Dropped out to finish last behind River Luminous at Mombetsu last start, beaten over 14 lengths after being in a position to strike, so that run has to be treated as a genuine concern. The counterpoint is his previous second to Oryza Recolte, where he was beaten a head. If he returns to that level, he is a realistic place player rather than one to trust fully.

YAMATO ISHIKAWA
WHITE, GREEN ZIGZAG CHEVRON, GREEN SLEEVES, Orange cap
10 38465 CARLITOS
HIROYUKI OGUNI
2YO  BAY  COLT 56.0KG

Only battled when fifth behind Keiki Kane at Mombetsu last start, beaten seven and a half lengths after sitting just off the pace and being unwanted in the market. Two back he was sent out favourite but managed only sixth behind Reviendra. A prior placing with Manato Kurosawa is a small positive, though he needs to regain market confidence.

HIDEKI KAKUGAWA
2YO  BAY  COLT 56.0KG

Was only fair through the line when sixth behind Keiki Kane at Mombetsu last start, beaten eight lengths as an outside chance in betting. The prior seventh to Black Tycoon also disappointed after he was sent out favourite. His overall record is stronger than many here, with three placings from seven and two at this track and distance, but he must finish off better.

GENTA OCHIAI
BLACK, YELLOW DIAMOND CHECKS, BLACK SLEEVES, YELLOW ARMBANDS, Pink cap
12 62622 FULL OF POPS
YOSHIMI YANAGIZAWA
2YO  CHESTNUT  COLT 56.0KG

Comes off consecutive seconds at Mombetsu, most recently behind Keiki Kane when beaten three lengths in an open market. The start prior was stronger again, finishing second to Black Tycoon and beaten just under a length after working home evenly. He has placed three from four at this track and distance and beat Starry Laura and Ekahi Lio recently, making him the most reliable winning option.
