MOMBETSU   24 Sep 2026
 
GOING:

Race 1 1000m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Proud Hosho leading the way. MISAO (12) has the cleanest profile among the main hopes, having placed in both starts at Mombetsu and coming off a third as favourite when beaten four lengths by Tradescantia. She has still to turn consistency into a win, but her exposed form reads well for this. BEST MESSAGE (8) is close behind on the strength of a third to Feline Valor two runs back and a fourth to Jackson Voice last time, and his two placings from six starts here give him a solid base. PROUD HOSHO (1) improved sharply second-up when fifth, beaten four lengths by Promessa Reza, and is open to further progress after a poor debut. YOUNG GENERAL (2) has had more chances, but successive fourth and fifth placings keep him in the minor-money mix if he can find a little more at 1000m.
1 75 PROUD HOSHO
KUNIAKI SASAKI
2YO  CHESTNUT  COLT 56.0KG

Improved at his second start when fifth at Mombetsu, beaten four lengths by Promessa Reza after tracking the speed and being close enough at the turn. That was a clear step up from his debut seventh over 1200m here, where he was beaten a long way by Bellagio Evans. He should be forward enough third-up and looks a genuine chance if that latest run is the right guide.

MASAHIRO SAITO
2YO  CHESTNUT  COLT 56.0KG

Worked home evenly for fifth at Mombetsu last start, beaten six lengths by Will Matic after settling midfield in a race where he was near the top of an open market. He had led when fourth to Maho the start prior, beaten six and a half lengths. The nine-start maiden record is the concern, but his latest form is sound enough for minor money.

SHOMA KANAYAMA

3 97790 FABULOUS BACK
NOZOMI ONO
2YO  BAY  FILLY 55.0KG

Finished tenth at Mombetsu last start and was well beaten by Davay Crystal after settling rearward and making no impression late. The run prior was also plain, finishing ninth behind Jackson Voice and beaten just under nine lengths at big odds. Best Message has already had her measure recently, and she needs a sharp reversal to trouble these.

KAZUHISA YAMADA
2YO  BAY  COLT 56.0KG

Held his ground for fourth at Mombetsu last start, beaten three and a half lengths by Dusty Miller after settling just off the lead and keeping to the task. He had also run fourth to Head Scissors two back, though beaten seven and a half lengths at generous odds. Still a maiden after eight starts, but his recent consistency gives him a place profile.

YOJI KAMEI

5 76 BELLAGIO ZEUS
JUNJI TANAKA
2YO  BAY  COLT 53.0KG

Was only battling from a handy position when sixth at Mombetsu last start, beaten eight and a half lengths by Kemo Sahbee at generous odds. His debut had been much worse, finishing tailed off behind Riko Ilya despite being sent out favourite. The weight relief is some help, but he still has to prove he can finish a race off strongly enough.

6 4095 PLEIN DE BONHEUR
HIROTO KAWASHIMA
2YO  BAY  FILLY 55.0KG

Ran fifth at Mombetsu last start, beaten just over five lengths by Dusty Miller after sitting close enough but only battling late. That was better than her ninth to Head Scissors two back, when beaten over 12 lengths after lacking the dash to be competitive. There is some progression, but she needs another lift before the win looks likely.

GREEN, LIGHT PINK DOUBLE BAND, LIGHT PINK SLEEVES, GREEN DOUBLE ARMBAND, Yellow cap
7 587 SHINGEKINO VILLE
YOSHIMI YANAGIZAWA
2YO  BAY  FILLY 54.0KG

Was seventh at Mombetsu last start, beaten five and a half lengths by Dusty Miller after giving away a big start and finishing only fairly. Her previous eighth to Head Scissors was weaker, beaten over 11 lengths after never getting into the race from the back. She is race fit, but the current form says others have stronger claims.

RYOGA FUJITA
YELLOW, BLUE RIGHT SASH, BLUE ARMBANDS, Green cap
8 59634 BEST MESSAGE
MASAKAZU MURAKAMI
2YO  CHESTNUT  COLT 56.0KG

Kept on fairly for fourth at Mombetsu last start, beaten four lengths by Jackson Voice as an outside chance in the betting. His previous third behind Feline Valor was stronger, beaten a length and a half after tracking the speed and working home evenly. With two placings from six starts here and a placing at this distance, he has the right form to go close.
8
GENTA OCHIAI
BLACK, YELLOW DIAMOND CHECKS, BLACK SLEEVES, YELLOW ARMBANDS, Green cap
9 63565 STUNNING ARROW
MASATO KAWASHIMA
2YO  BAY  COLT 56.0KG

Charged home from well back when fifth at Mombetsu last start, beaten nine lengths by Southern The Baron, and the late work was better than the margin suggests. He had also made ground from a long way back when sixth over 1200m behind New Harpy. The win record is thin, but he has enough closing substance to run into a place.
9
SHINYA MATSUI
RED, MEDIUM BLUE CHECKS, MEDIUM BLUE SLEEVES, Orange cap
10 58 TENBY CASTLE
KUNIO HIMORI
2YO  DK B  FILLY 55.0KG

Dropped out to finish eighth at Mombetsu last start, beaten over 12 lengths by Alphonsina after giving away a big start and never entering the contest. Her debut fifth behind Queen's Family had more merit, as she battled on well after tracking the speed at long odds. She needs to recover that first-start effort quickly to be a factor.

YUJI IWAHASHI
BLACK, WHITE STAR, WHITE SLEEVES, BLACK STRIPE, Orange cap
11 0 KANNON ROYAL
TOMOKI KUROKAWA
2YO  BAY  COLT 56.0KG

Back after five weeks on the sidelines, having finished second last on debut at Mombetsu when well beaten by 24 lengths behind Queen's Family. He was unwanted in the market and failed to improve after being a long way back at the turn. Second-up improvement is possible, but he has a large performance gap to close.

12 23 MISAO
NOBORU YONEKAWA
2YO  BAY  FILLY 55.0KG

Returns from a two-month break in consistent form, having placed in both starts at Mombetsu. She was third last time, beaten four lengths by Tradescantia as favourite, after working home evenly. Her debut second to Kazu Dream was a long-margin placing, but she was strong through the closing stages. The record gives her a leading claim despite that beaten-favourite query.
