GOING:

Race 9 1000m

Track:      

Good pace with Riko Raider, Davay Crystal and Kemo Sahbee matching motors. DAVAY CRYSTAL (2) sets the standard after converting odds-on support at Mombetsu, winning by three lengths and taking her record to a win and two places from three starts. That consistency gives her the clearest profile, although LAYUP THREE (4) has the right substance to test her after finishing second to Lady Pink, beaten a length, and he is already proven at this distance. LIVERMORE ZAN (3) brings a different form line, having beaten Blue Album by a length and a half as favourite after a close second to Baby Nonchan, so she deserves respect despite being a place-leaning proposition. KEMO SAHBEE (7) is also in winning form and had been close behind Handclap two back, making her a genuine minor-money threat if she repeats her latest Mombetsu win.
1 0317 RIKO RAIDER
HIROTO KAWASHIMA
2YO  DK B  FILLY 55.0KG

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing seventh at Mombetsu, beaten nine and a half lengths by A Shin Skuld, having been close enough at the turn before failing to finish it off. The run prior showed her better level when she beat Ange Merci by two lengths here after leading throughout. That track-and-trip win gives her some footing, but she must rebound sharply.

MASAHIRO SAITO
2YO  CHESTNUT  FILLY 55.0KG

Built on two seconds by winning at Mombetsu last start, putting three lengths on Ruby Grass as the odds-on favourite and opening right away late. She had earlier been second to Davay Oscar, beaten a length and a half, so her short-course form is both current and reliable. With a 100% place record from three starts and Genta Ochiai aboard, she is the runner they have to beat.

MORIYAMA TAKEHIRO
2YO  DK B  FILLY 55.0KG

Returns from a one-month freshening after winning at Mombetsu as favourite, beating Blue Album by a length and a half with a determined finish. She had also run Baby Nonchan to half a length at generous odds two back, so the improvement has been genuine. Her overall record of one win and two places from four starts is solid, and she appeals as a sound each-way runner.

NOBORU YONEKAWA
2YO  BAY  COLT 56.0KG

Produced a clear bounce last start when second to Lady Pink at Mombetsu, beaten a length, after settling well back and still giving away ground on the turn. His previous eighth over 1200m was more plain, beaten six and a half lengths by A Shin Freude, but the market kept him safe there. Proven at this distance and with Yamato Ishikawa back on, he has a strong winning case.

TAKAHIRO ISHIMOTO
2YO  BAY  FILLY 55.0KG

Was second last behind Lady Pink at Mombetsu a couple of weeks ago, beaten over 11 lengths after settling rearward and making no impression. That came after a surprise win over Ange Merci, where she was unwanted in the market but finished strongly to score by a neck. The matchup with Layup Three reads against her, so she needs conditions to fall neatly.

YOSHIMI YANAGIZAWA
2YO  CHESTNUT  FILLY 55.0KG

Finished seventh to Lady Pink at Mombetsu last start, beaten nine and a half lengths after settling back and being unable to make the required ground. Two back she was last behind Sellout Crowd over 1200m, beaten a long way and unwanted in the market. A prior track-and-trip win is noted, but her recent form asks for a major turnaround.

SHOMA KANAYAMA

NOZOMI ONO
2YO  BAY  FILLY 55.0KG

Won well at Mombetsu four weeks ago, beating Oriko Brougham by a length and a half after stretching out with a little in hand. She had been third to Handclap the run prior, beaten half a length, when also respected in betting, so her latest rise was no surprise. The distance query remains noted, but her current form is good enough for the minors.

HIROTO KAWASHIMA
2YO  DK B  FILLY 55.0KG

Finished last behind Lady Pink at Mombetsu last start, beaten over 14 lengths after sitting behind the leaders and coming under pressure late. Her previous run was also weak, finishing second last to Radio Girl and beaten over 16 lengths after dropping out. She has a track-and-trip win on the record, but recent evidence leaves her with plenty to find.
