Garcon Manque and Midnight Gale to take up the running at a strong tempo. GARCON MANQUE (6) sets the standard after winning her past two at Mombetsu, most recently beating Trevena by a length over this trip. Her seven wins and one place from ten starts at this track and distance give her the strongest profile, and the Yuji Iwahashi partnership is well proven. TREVENA (8) is the main danger on consistency, having run third in 3yo+ A2 grade last start after being second to Garcon Manque as the odds-on favourite the run prior. The query is whether she can turn repeated placings into a win. MIDNIGHT GALE (2) brings a very reliable Mombetsu 1000m record and was beaten just under a length last start, so she has the substance to be right in the decision. TAKENO ROULE (4) adds depth, having beaten a neck in 3yo+ A2 grade after a 3yo+ B3 win, and her recent result over Trevena and Midnight Gale keeps her in the winning mix.

MANA ALII
NOBORU YONEKAWA 3YO CHESTNUT COLT 55.0KG Made solid inroads from well back when seventh in a 3yo+ A2 here last start, beaten just under three lengths after being near the top of betting. That followed a sharp 3yo+ B3 win at Mombetsu, coming from a long way back to beat Crown Villain by half a length. He does his best work late and has a strong record with Yamato Ishikawa, so the place case is sound despite needing to turn the tables on Trevena and Midnight Gale. |

MIDNIGHT GALE
HIROAKI SAKURAI 4YO BAY FILLY 56.0KG Tomohiro Eguchi Led and was only pipped late when third in a 3yo+ A2 here last start, beaten just under a length as an outside chance in the betting. She had also led when third to Garcon Manque the run prior, beaten just over a length, so the recent form is holding up. Four wins and seven places from 16 starts at this track and distance underline her reliability, and another honest showing looks very likely. |

BARI GIGGLY
HIROYUKI OGUNI 3YO DK B COLT 55.0KG Finished second last in a 3yo+ A2 here two weeks ago, beaten over 11 lengths at long odds after tracking the speed without offering a clear excuse. His previous fifth behind Garcon Manque was also plain, beaten just under six lengths from another big price. The class drop is some help, but being unplaced in seven Mombetsu starts leaves him with a sizeable task. |
3 SHOMA KANAYAMA |

TAKENO ROULE
HIROTO KAWASHIMA 3YO BROWN FILLY 53.0KG Finished strongly for second in a 3yo+ A2 here last start, beaten a neck by Liontarina at generous odds. The run prior she picked up sharply to win a 3yo+ B3 over this course, beating Sayuribana by a neck, and she has three wins and one place from seven starts at this track and distance. Recent form around Trevena and Midnight Gale gives her a legitimate minor-money profile with upside. |

LAST BORN
TAKAHIRO MATSUMOTO 5YO CHESTNUT GELDING 53.0KG Einoshin Abe Was only fair through the line when ninth in a 3yo+ A2 over 1200m here last start, beaten six and a half lengths at long odds. Before that he tracked the speed but failed to finish off behind Garcon Manque, finishing sixth and beaten just over eight lengths. The drop in class is a positive, yet he is unplaced in four attempts at this distance and needs far more dash. |
5 JUNKI WATANABE |

| 6 | 9x211 |
GARCON MANQUE
JUNJI TANAKA 4YO CHESTNUT FILLY 56.0KG Comes off consecutive Mombetsu wins and has built the strongest profile in this field. She beat Trevena by a length here last start after settling just off the lead, then had already won a 3yo+ B3 from Crown Villain the run prior. Seven wins and one place from ten starts at this track and distance are excellent figures, and her record with Yuji Iwahashi gives her the clearest winning platform. |
6 YUJI IWAHASHI |

TOMONO SILVER
TOMOKI KUROKAWA 5YO GREY MARE 55.0KG Returns from a three-month break after finishing seventh in a 3yo+ A2 here, beaten six and a half lengths by Midnight Gale at long odds. Her previous sixth over 1200m behind Der Flug was also safely held, though she does return to a trip where she has eight wins and seven places from 22 attempts. That record earns respect, but recent form says she must improve sharply first-up. |
7 SHINYA MATSUI |
|
| 8 | 13223 |
TREVENA
HIDEKI KAKUGAWA 4YO CHESTNUT FILLY 55.0KG Ran third in a 3yo+ A2 here last start, beaten just under a length after settling well back and still finishing close enough to matter. She was odds-on when second to Garcon Manque the run prior, travelling well but unable to bridge the final length. Two wins and six places from ten starts this season show how honest she is, though converting that consistency is the remaining challenge. |
8 GENTA OCHIAI |
|
| 9 | 47466 |
KASTROM POPO
KUNIAKI SASAKI 8YO DK B HORSE 57.0KG Charged home from well back when sixth in a 3yo+ A2 here last start, beaten two and a half lengths at big odds, which was better than it reads. He had also caught the eye late over 1200m in a 3yo+ A1, albeit beaten just under six lengths. The effort level is sound for a place push, but one placing from four starts at this track and distance keeps the winning case in check. |

ETERNAL RUBY
HIDEAKI SATO 8YO BAY MARE 55.0KG Yoshio Suzuki Finished last in a 3yo+ A2 here last start, beaten over 12 lengths at long odds after being well back throughout. The prior run was no stronger, again last behind Garcon Manque and beaten over 13 lengths without making any impression. Her older career record has substance, but being unplaced in 13 Mombetsu starts and out of form makes this a very tough assignment. |
