Races ORP Mombetsu - JAP

Well beaten last start, but the return to 1200m and strong Yamato Ishikawa record keep him in the place mix if he sharpens up.

Recent runs have been well below the mark despite a past track-and-trip win. Has to lift sharply.

Plain last start after market respect, but his track-and-distance placing record gives him minor-money claims.

Two recent tenth placings at big odds make him hard to support. The quick back-up is only a small positive.

Last start was poor, but the previous close third and proven 1200m record give her a genuine place chance.

Beaten a long way at both recent runs and unplaced in five tries at this track and distance. Hard to entertain.

Two wins from four at this track give her a strong base. The first try at 1200m is the query, but she has upside.

Led and faded badly last start after another plain run. Place hope only if she finds a major turnaround.

Recent margins are heavy and she has been unwanted in betting. A minor place would require sharp improvement.

Latest fourth had some merit from back in the field, but the maiden record keeps him to outside place claims.

Last-start 1200m winner with a perfect place record at this track and distance. Brings the right form and looks the one to beat.

Last-start winner with a strong overall record at this track. The 1200m asks a question, but his consistency is hard to knock.

Returns to 1200m, where she is one from one. Last-start closing effort over 1700m was sound and she rates strongly.

Recent efforts have been plain and her 1200m record is a concern. Others bring stronger credentials.
