GOING:

Race 3 1100m

Track:      

No recognised leader engaged but Vivi Camellia possesses enough dash to take advantage of a low draw and take it up. VIVI CAMELLIA (2) appeals as the runner with the clearest winning platform after going under by only half a length to Light Beans at Mombetsu, despite being sent out at big odds. Her two placings from three starts, and two from two at 1100m, give her the most persuasive profile. MANA UILA (9) is the obvious threat: she was a beaten favourite when third to Light Beans, but had run second by a neck to Oryza Nova the start before and has placed three from three at this track and distance. LADY WARRIOR (5) also has a solid case after closing strongly for second to Alphonsina, beaten two lengths, and her three-start record suggests she is holding form well enough. RUBY GRASS (8) is next in line after making late ground for second to Davay Crystal, though the 1100m record remains a small query. The race looks centred on those four, with Vivi Camellia narrowly preferred over Mana Uila.
1 5 ASAGUMO
MASAKAZU MURAKAMI
2YO  DK B  FILLY 54.0KG

Made a fair debut here when fifth behind Vin Flor over 1100m, but the margin tells the story after she conceded a huge start and was beaten over 14 lengths at long odds. That experience can help second-up and the class drop is a small plus, yet she remains unplaced from her only start at the track and distance. Needs a much sharper beginning to become a genuine threat.

Fuyuki Igarashi
2YO  CHESTNUT  FILLY 55.0KG

Went very close at Mombetsu last start, finishing second to Light Beans over 1100m and beaten half a length after being pipped late despite starting at big odds. She had kept on for sixth behind Handclap the run prior, so the latest effort was a clear lift. From barrier 2 she should race handy again, and two placings from two tries at the trip make her a strong winning chance.

JUNJI TANAKA
2YO  CHESTNUT  FILLY 55.0KG

Improved sharply last start when third behind Naranga at Mombetsu, beaten six and a half lengths after having plenty to do and finishing on strongly. The concern is the run before, when she was second last behind New Harpy and beaten over 14 lengths after being respected in an open market. Back in better order now, but the distance remains a query for win purposes.

HIROAKI SAKURAI
2YO  BAY  FILLY 55.0KG

Has been making some ground from well back without threatening, most recently fifth behind Ba Schnell at Mombetsu when beaten just over six lengths at long odds. She was also never likely behind Davay Oscar two back, finishing seventh and beaten just over nine lengths. The class drop and race fitness help, but she needs more than steady late work to win this.

HIROTO KAWASHIMA
2YO  DK B  FILLY 55.0KG

Lifted at her second run this campaign when second to Alphonsina over 1100m here, beaten two lengths after finishing strongly. That followed a seventh behind Jackson Voice where she was a long way back but still made some late ground. She has placed twice from three starts at this track and distance, and third-up fitness gives her a genuine winning platform.

MASATO KAWASHIMA
2YO  CHESTNUT  FILLY 55.0KG

Was safely held again last start when second last behind Alphonsina at Mombetsu, beaten over 14 lengths after conceding a big start and never getting involved. The run prior was a failed-to-finish effort behind A Shin Bliss, also at long odds. Unplaced in four starts and three times at this track and distance, she needs a sizeable turnaround.

HIROYUKI OGUNI
2YO  CHESTNUT  FILLY 55.0KG

Recent form leaves her with plenty to find after finishing second last behind Tsubuan at Mombetsu, beaten over 17 lengths and unwanted in the market. She had also been well held behind Jackson Voice the run before, finishing eighth and beaten eight and a half lengths. Unplaced in eight career starts, she must show a level not yet seen in races.

TAKAHIRO MATSUMOTO
2YO  BAY  FILLY 55.0KG

Produced her best run so far when second to Davay Crystal at Mombetsu, beaten three lengths after looking no chance on the turn and closing strongly into the frame. Her fifth behind Davay Oscar two back was also a pass mark from back in the field. The 1100m record is still unproven, but with Genta Ochiai back on, she has each-way substance.

NOBORU YONEKAWA
2YO  GREY  FILLY 55.0KG

Continues to race well without winning, finishing third to Light Beans here last start when beaten five and a half lengths after giving herself plenty to do. She was beaten a neck by Oryza Nova the start before and has placed three from three at this track and distance. The beaten-favourite tag is a small reservation, but her consistency keeps her right in the contest.

MORIYAMA TAKEHIRO

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing last behind Radio Girl at Mombetsu, beaten over 19 lengths at big odds. She had also run last behind Tradescantia two back, beaten over 15 lengths after settling well back and failing to make ground. The class drop is some help, but unplaced form from four starts makes this a demanding assignment.

KUNIAKI SASAKI
2YO  BAY  FILLY 55.0KG

Placed on debut at Mombetsu, finishing third behind Gwaenchanhayo in a six-runner race and beaten nine lengths after holding position from back in the field. That gives her a base to build from second-up, though the margin shows she still has some ground to make up on the better exposed runners. Capable of filling a placing if she improves from the experience.

KUNIO HIMORI
2YO  BAY  FILLY 55.0KG

Finished ninth behind Ba Schnell here last start, beaten over 10 lengths after conceding a big start and never entering the race. That was a better result than the previous run, when she was tailed off behind New Harpy, but it still leaves her well short. Unplaced in five starts at Mombetsu and twice at the trip, others bring stronger claims.
