Race 9 1000m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Plenty of pace evident with Silver Komkom and Kitano Rose leading the way from Schon Nova and Fresh No Ue. OISHI SAKURA (10) is the top pick despite needing to sharpen off a sixth to Tiffany Sienne, as she was still afforded some market respect and had been near the top of an open market the run prior. The wide draw is no gift, but she brings the right overall profile for this C4 at Mombetsu. KITANO ROSE (12) is the obvious danger: her latest sixth was plain, yet the half-length second to Sakura Piacere two back is one of the stronger recent pieces of form in the race. SCHON NOVA (7) has the head-to-head edge on Oishi Sakura from a couple of weeks ago and owns a useful track-and-trip base, although her latest margins keep her just behind the top pair. REVE LUBA (5) is the value minor hope after a much better third here last time, but she remains a maiden and still has to prove she can turn that improvement into a winning result.

FEEL THE CROWN
MASAKAZU MURAKAMI 6YO BROWN HORSE 54.0KG Tadashi Sakurai Again settled a long way back when ninth to Steel Amber at Mombetsu, beaten six lengths at long odds, and he never looked likely from the turn. The prior eighth behind Nishino Endeavor was similar, although he worked home fairly. A track-and-trip win gives him some grounding, but his current pattern leaves him needing a marked lift. |

PETIT BEANS
MORIYAMA TAKEHIRO 4YO BAY FILLY 55.0KG Finished last behind Good Time Ask at Mombetsu two weeks ago, beaten eight lengths after settling rearward and only holding ground late. That followed a ninth to Penta Felice, beaten just over nine lengths when unwanted in the market. The track-and-trip record is sound, but recent efforts say she has plenty to turn around. |
2 MANATO KUROSAWA |

KARIN TERASU
NOZOMI ONO 5YO DK B MARE 54.0KG Takamitsu Murata Worked home fairly without ever threatening when seventh to Good Time Ask here, beaten six and a half lengths at long odds. Two back she was second last behind La Villette over 1200m, beaten nine and a half lengths, also at long odds. With no placing from nine runs in the past 12 months, others have stronger claims. |
3 RYOGA FUJITA |

FRESH NO UE
KAZUHISA YAMADA 4YO BROWN FILLY 55.0KG Was midfield before giving away too much start when seventh to Steel Amber here, beaten five lengths at long odds. The previous eighth to Queen's Park was also plain, yet she did beat Schon Nova at Mombetsu about three weeks ago and owns a solid overall place profile. She appeals more as a minor-money runner than a strong winning play. |

REVE LUBA
DAISUKE AKITA 3YO DK B FILLY 55.0KG Hiroshi Hatasa Lifted sharply when third behind Nishino Endeavor at Mombetsu, beaten just over three lengths after travelling well and fighting on. That was a clear improvement on her second-last in a 3yo Maiden at Fukushima Dirt, where she was beaten over 14 lengths at big odds. Still a maiden from five starts, but the latest run puts her in the place mix. |
5 HIDEKI SAKASHITA |
|
| 6 | 88688 |
PINK SOUTHPAW
YOSHIMI YANAGIZAWA 3YO GREY FILLY 55.0KG Naoyuki Naridomi Was well beaten over 1200m at Mombetsu last start, finishing eighth to Kitano Sirius by over 18 lengths when unwanted in the market. The run prior was better in margin terms, closing from a long way back to finish eighth to Riko Nick, beaten six and a half lengths. Three career wins give her some depth, but she must rebound sharply. |
6 YOJI KAMEI |

SCHON NOVA
KUNIO HIMORI 4YO BAY FILLY 55.0KG Improved from a heavy defeat two back to finish fifth behind Tiffany Sienne here, beaten just over five lengths after being left with too much to do. She also beat Oishi Sakura in that recent meeting, which gives the form line some relevance. One win and seven places from 30 starts at the track and distance make her a legitimate contender if she finishes off better. |

CHRONO RAIDEN
HIDEAKI SATO 3YO BROWN COLT 57.0KG Came from well back when fifth to Kitano Sirius over 1200m here, but was still beaten over 14 lengths and unwanted in the market. The earlier seventh to Sakura Piacere was also safely held. Returning to 1000m is a positive given his winning record at the trip, yet he looks more a place chance than a runner to trust completely. |

SHEER ELEGANCE
MORIYAMA TAKEHIRO 5YO BAY MARE 52.0KG Shadai Race Horse Co. Ltd. Dropped right out when last to Boules De Neige over 1200m at Mombetsu, beaten out of sight at long odds. She had also finished last behind Sakura Piacere, beaten over 17 lengths when unwanted in the market. Weight relief and class context are not enough to offset those recent defeats, so she needs a major turnaround. |
9 YUTA OGAWA |

OISHI SAKURA
HIDEKI KAKUGAWA 3YO DK B FILLY 55.0KG Was sixth to Tiffany Sienne here last start, beaten five and a half lengths after settling rearward, and that followed a seventh to Macalas when she conceded a big start. The market has kept her in some respect at both recent runs, and she has a track-and-trip win in her profile. The wide draw is a query, but this looks a suitable chance to improve. |
10 MASAAKI KUWAMURA |
|
| 11 | 44857 |
SILVER KOMKOM
MASAHIRO SAITO 4YO GREY FILLY 55.0KG Held on until late when seventh to Queen's Park here, beaten six and a half lengths at long odds. Her previous fifth behind Isoda was better on paper, as she made some impression from well back but was never in the hunt. A track-and-trip win helps, yet being unplaced in all eight starts this season keeps the assessment cautious. |
11 TAKAFUMI HATTORI |
|
| 12 | 57826 |
KITANO ROSE
NOBORU YONEKAWA 3YO BAY FILLY 55.0KG Naoto Kitajo Had her chance when sixth to Eudaemonia over 1200m here, beaten just over seven lengths after sitting close enough to the leaders. The run before is the key pointer, as she was only pipped by Sakura Piacere and started near the top of betting. The maiden record is the concern, but that narrow second makes her a serious winning hope. |
