MOMBETSU   22 Sep 2026
 
GOING:

Race 6 1000m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Engel leading the way. MOFUBUKI (7) deserves top billing after consecutive Mombetsu seconds, the latest beaten a neck by Excellen Winner over this trip when well found near the top of an open market. Her track-and-distance record gives the profile substance, although she has placed more often than won. AMMIRAZIONE (3) is the cleanest danger on consistency, having finished third at her past two runs, each time beaten a length and a half, and she has repeatedly held her form at this course and distance. ENGEL (8) is harder to read after finishing last behind Steel Amber, but the previous Mombetsu win over Tomoni Miru Hope was strong enough to keep her in the winning mix if she rebounds. MIWAKUNO HOSHO (5) comes through a nose second to Good Time Ask and has the sharpest last-start result of the quartet, though her broader profile still reads more as a genuine place chance than a runner to take short odds about.

Has been safely held at her past two Mombetsu runs, finishing second last behind Good Time Ask last start when beaten seven lengths after settling midfield and failing to threaten. The start prior was similar, with a rearward run and a fair finish only when tenth behind Nishino Endeavor. A past track-and-trip win is noted, but current form leaves her with a sizeable turnaround to make.

Was never a factor behind Steel Amber at Mombetsu last start, finishing second last and beaten over 11 lengths after being well back throughout. She had worked home fairly from a long way off when eighth behind Penta Felice two weeks earlier, but the margin was still just under seven lengths. Unplaced in all four starts, she needs a clear lift before being taken seriously.

Has put together two solid Mombetsu thirds, each beaten a length and a half, most recently behind Steel Amber when among the outsiders. The run prior behind Queen's Park was equally sound after tracking the speed and working home evenly. She has placed four times from six at this track and distance, so the form is reliable; the remaining issue is turning that consistency into a win.

Drops back from two plain 1200m runs at Mombetsu, most recently second last behind Eudaemonia and beaten over 15 lengths after having every chance in the right spot. The previous eighth behind Fawkes Up was better on margin, beaten four and a half lengths, but she still found little when asked. Third-up fitness helps, yet her exposed form keeps her more in the minor-money bracket.

Lifted sharply at Mombetsu last start when second to Good Time Ask, beaten a nose after pressing forward and giving a strong sight. That was a clear improvement on her ninth behind Banana Ball over 1200m, where she was never likely at big odds. She has placed three times from seven at this track and distance, which supports another honest showing if she holds that latest level.

Comes off a disappointing Mombetsu ninth behind El Viento Sopla, beaten over 18 lengths after being well back and never improving into the race. The run before keeps him in calculations, having beaten Ten Arion here by half a length when near the top of betting. Proven at this track and distance, he can bounce into the placings, but last start makes him hard to trust as a win proposition.

Takuya Yano
Has finished second at her past two Mombetsu runs and went very close last start, beaten a neck by Excellen Winner over 1000m after travelling well and finishing strongly. Her previous second behind Raven Knight adds further depth, and one win with six places from 15 at this track and distance is the right profile for this. The winning strike-rate is the only real knock, but she sets the clearest standard.

Must rebound from a poor last-start effort behind Steel Amber, where she finished last at Mombetsu and was beaten over 14 lengths without a clear excuse. Her previous win here was much better, leading and beating Tomoni Miru Hope by a length and a half as favourite. That track-and-trip success, plus a good record with Genta Ochiai, makes her dangerous if the latest run is put aside.

Yuki Dendo
Worked home fairly for fifth behind Steel Amber at Mombetsu last start, beaten three and a half lengths after conceding a big start at big odds. That was an improvement on her ninth behind Nishino Endeavor, when again well back and never a chance. She is still a maiden with one placing from 13 starts, so despite a better latest run she needs another step to trouble the main hopes.

Was unwanted in the market and beaten over 19 lengths behind Kitano Sirius at Mombetsu last start over 1200m, never making any impression. His previous fourth behind La Villette was more respectable, though still beaten six lengths at big odds. The return to 1000m and past track-and-trip win are positives, but recent output leaves him needing a substantial form reversal.
