Good pace with Gold Irene, Axis and Aqua Treasure matching motors. HO O MINSTER (3) brings the clearest upside after winning by five lengths at Mombetsu when near the top of betting, and that sharp second-up profile makes him the horse the others have to reach. SWEET CANDY (1) is the reliable danger, having placed at her past two in 3yo+ C3 company here and carrying just 52kg again; the query is whether she can turn consistent minor placings into a win. AXIS (2) has a genuine claim on his 3yo+ C4 win two starts back from Parikotopanana, especially with Yamato Ishikawa back aboard, but he must rebound from a plain sixth over 1500m. GOLD IRENE (8) has been below market expectation at her past two, including an odds-on third before a fourth here, yet her light career profile and current-season record keep her in the winning mix if she finds a sharper finish.

SWEET CANDY
TAKAHIRO ISHIMOTO 4YO BAY FILLY 52.0KG Placed again at Mombetsu last start in a 3yo+ C3, finishing third to Yamanin Elama and beaten four lengths after being run down late. She had filled the same position here two weeks earlier behind Ho O Earnest, also beaten four lengths, so the consistency is plain. The 52kg helps and she has placed three times from six at this track and distance, but the task is turning reliability into a winning finish. |

AXIS
Fuyuki Igarashi 3YO BAY COLT 57.0KG Yuko Nakamura Failed to build on his win when sixth at Mombetsu last start in a 3yo+ C3 over 1500m, beaten eight and a half lengths by Blue Cosmos after finding others stronger late. The better guide may be his previous 3yo+ C4 win here, where he beat Parikotopanana by a length and was near the top of betting. He should use barrier two to race prominently, but the rise in trip remains the main test. |

HO O MINSTER
JUNJI TANAKA 3YO CHESTNUT COLT 57.0KG Yoshihisa Ozasa Resumed in excellent order at Mombetsu, winning a 3yo+ C4 by five lengths from Cool Kagura after travelling on the pace and putting the race away with authority. His debut fifth at Kyoto Dirt behind Tierra Reina was respectable enough, beaten just over three lengths, but this looks a different profile now. Lightly raced, drawn well and already a winner here, he sets a strong benchmark if he repeats that latest effort. |
3 GENTA OCHIAI |

CINDERELLA DASH
JUNJI TANAKA 4YO DK B FILLY 55.0KG Forest Racing Worked on fairly when fifth to Yamanin Elama at Mombetsu last start, beaten just over seven lengths after having too much to do. Her previous second to Averse was better, beaten four lengths in a small field after doing some late work, and she now meets Sweet Candy again after finishing behind her a couple of weeks ago. The winning case is thin, but she is honest enough to chase minor money. |

LONGING DOLCE
YOSHIMI YANAGIZAWA 5YO DK B MARE 55.0KG Koichi Sakamoto Finished last at Mombetsu over 1500m in a 3yo+ C3 last start, beaten just over nine lengths by Blue Cosmos after never coming into contention at big odds. She was also beaten nine lengths when fourth to Mana Sky here the run prior, despite making some late ground. A previous track win gives her some background credit, but recent form leaves her needing a marked lift. |
5 RYU ABE |

AQUA TREASURE
TAKAHIRO MATSUMOTO 3YO CHESTNUT COLT 57.0KG Finished sixth behind Yamanin Elama at Mombetsu last start, beaten seven and a half lengths as a generous-odds chance, and his previous fifth behind Ho O Earnest was similar on the margin. That said, his broader record at this track and distance is solid, with one win and six places from twelve attempts. He needs a sharper late effort, but the venue-and-trip profile keeps him in the minor-money picture. |
6 YUKI MIYAUCHI |

MAGIC LINE
HIDEAKI SATO 5YO DK B HORSE 57.0KG Toshiaki Yanagibashi Had a favourable run close enough to the leaders when fifth to Telemachus at Mombetsu last start, beaten four and a half lengths at long odds, but he could not go on with it. His prior fifth behind Averse in a small field was also only fair, beaten six and a half lengths. He has won at this track and distance before, yet the current form pattern suggests others have more upside. |
7 SHOMA KANAYAMA |
|
| 8 | 6x134 |
GOLD IRENE
HIROYUKI OGUNI 3YO CHESTNUT FILLY 55.0KG Kazuhiro Masuda Was expected to run well when fourth to Telemachus at Mombetsu last start, beaten four and a half lengths after being run down late. She had been odds-on when third to Razer Bern the start prior and was safely held, so there is a legitimate finishing query. Still, one win and one place from three starts this season shows she is holding enough form to remain a realistic place chance. |

GHIRLANDA
MORIYAMA TAKEHIRO 3YO BROWN FILLY 55.0KG Carrot Farm Co. Ltd. Was beaten out of sight when last to Frontier Bright at Mombetsu over 1200m last start, after giving away a big start and never getting into the race. That followed another last placing at Sapporo, beaten over 18 lengths by Ten Ready Go in a 3yo Maiden. The class set-up may be kinder, but the rise in trip and recent margins make her a speculative minor hope only. |

KIBOWA HOSHO
KUNIAKI SASAKI 3YO CHESTNUT COLT 57.0KG Worked home only fairly when fourth to Through The Gold at Mombetsu in a 3yo COND last start, beaten over 11 lengths after being unwanted in the market. His previous sixth over 1500m here behind Moon Rainbow was no stronger, beaten seven and a half lengths after making no impression. Three wins overall are noted, but he is unplaced in three at this track and distance and must improve sharply. |
