GOING:

Race 8 1000m Track:
Cracking tempo with Good Time Ask and Hopeful Song leading the way. GOOD TIME ASK (12) sets the standard after winning a 3yo+ C4 over this course and distance by a nose as a well-supported favourite, and the light weight keeps her right in the race despite the wide draw. HOPEFUL SONG (3) brings the neatest recent profile, having won a 3yo+ C4 by two lengths before running third behind Fingal's Cave, and she has already finished ahead of Nishino Endeavor in the latest Mombetsu clash. NISHINO ENDEAVOR (7) is the proven danger: he won by a head two runs back, has strong 12-month form, and previously beat Good Time Ask, though he must turn the tables on Hopeful Song from a fortnight ago. YOMPUKU (8) is the value runner among the selections, with five wins at this track and distance and two sound fourths this campaign, but he looks more dependent on converting another honest run into a sharper winning effort.
1	17770	BELLE THEODORA H HIROMORI 3YO DK CH FILLY 55.0KG Takehisa Yashima Finished tenth behind Fingal's Cave here last start, beaten eight and a half lengths after tracking the speed and failing to produce a serious challenge. The run prior was also plain, finishing seventh behind Port Ellen and beaten eight lengths. She has won at this track and distance, but the current form line leaves her with a sizeable improvement task.	1 YUJI IWAHASHI
2	05932	HANAKANZASHI MASAHIRO SAITO 5YO CHESTNUT MARE 55.0KG Lifted strongly at Mombetsu last start when second to Fingal's Cave, beaten a length and a half at big odds after settling close enough and finishing off. She had also placed in a 3yo+ C3C4 here two back behind Lightning Jab. Three wins and eight places from 19 starts at this track and distance make her a genuine minor-money chance.	2 YAMATO ISHIKAWA
3	64213	HOPEFUL SONG TSUYOSHI CHIBA 4YO BAY FILLY 55.0KG Hidaka Breeders Union Co. Ltd. Held her form when third behind Fingal's Cave here last start, beaten just under two lengths after travelling well behind the leaders and working home soundly. That followed a 3yo+ C4 win over the same course, where she beat Fresh No Ue by two lengths. With a track-and-trip win already banked and recent form reading well, she has a solid winning case.	3 SHINYA MATSUI
4	35644	LUNA ELF NOZOMI ONO 6YO CHESTNUT MARE 55.0KG Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing fourth in a 3yo+ C3C4 at Mombetsu, beaten just under four lengths at big odds. Her previous fourth behind Bident came after settling rearward and working home without threatening. The track-and-trip record is solid, but she needs more than honest late ground to trouble the main chances.	4 FUMA ONO
5	88056	TELEOS MINA H HIROMORI 4YO CHESTNUT FILLY 55.0KG Mieko Suzuki Worked home from the rear when sixth behind Fingal's Cave here last start, beaten three lengths at long odds. The run prior was similar, finishing fifth behind Port Ellen after charging home and catching the eye from well back. She has won twice in the past 12 months, but this season's unplaced record keeps her more in the place mix than the main winning bracket.	5 SHOMA KANAYAMA
6	09990	REDCOAT MASATAKA SAKUMA 5YO GREY HORSE 57.0KG Tetsuya Ichimura Finished a distant last over 1700m here last start behind Yamanin Elama and was unwanted in the market. His previous run over the same trip was also well held behind Ho O Earnest. He is still a maiden after 29 starts and now comes back sharply in distance, so a dramatic form reversal is required.	6 ASAHI WAKASUGI
7	23215	NISHINO ENDEAVOR HIROTO KAWASHIMA 4YO BAY HORSE 57.0KG Shigeyuki Nishiyama Closed hard for fifth behind Fingal's Cave here last start, beaten two and a half lengths in an open market, and the effort had more merit than the finishing position suggests. Two back he won a 3yo+ C4 as favourite, beating Story Time by a head. His Mombetsu 1000m record is reliable, and that recent winning form keeps him firmly in the contest.	7 YUKI MIYAUCHI
8	36x44	YOMPUKU TOMOKI KUROKAWA 7YO BLACK HORSE 57.0KG Comes here third-up after another sound fourth behind Fingal's Cave, beaten just over two lengths when unwanted in the market and finishing off attractively. His first-up fourth behind Port Ellen was similar without being quite as sharp. Five wins at this track and distance command respect, though he still has to convert current consistency into a winning blow.	8 YOJI KAMEI
9	66637	TEN X HIROTO KAWASHIMA 3YO CHESTNUT COLT 57.0KG Was expected to do more last start, finishing seventh behind Fingal's Cave and beaten four and a half lengths after being near the top of betting. He had been a more encouraging third behind Port Ellen two runs back, working home into the placings. With no win from six starts at this track and distance, he profiles as a place chance needing a cleaner finish.	9 GENTA OCHIAI
10	00000	DRAGON WISH DAISUKE AKITA 4YO CHESTNUT GELDING 57.0KG Was second last behind Fingal's Cave here last start, beaten over 10 lengths and unwanted in the market after settling rearward. The run prior was no better, finishing second last behind Port Ellen and beaten over 13 lengths. He is unplaced in seven starts at this track and distance, so others bring far stronger claims.	10 HIDEKI SAKASHITA
11	96998	CHAMO MASATO KAWASHIMA 4YO CHESTNUT HORSE 56.0KG Tracked the speed but was safely held when eighth behind Fingal's Cave last start, beaten four and a half lengths at big odds. That followed a ninth behind Port Ellen, where he was beaten nine lengths and only battled from the turn. His overall record is respectable, but recent efforts say he must lift sharply.	11 RYOGA FUJITA
12	88851	GOOD TIME ASK HIDEKI KAKUGAWA 3YO CHESTNUT FILLY 52.0KG Arrives off the right run, having won a 3yo+ C4 here by a nose from Miwakuno Hosho as a well-supported favourite after finishing strongly. She was only fifth behind Nishino Endeavor two back, but that came in the same grade and she has since answered the key question. Two wins from nine at this track and distance and 52kg make her a leading chance again.	12 YUTA OGAWA
