Races ORP Mombetsu - JAP

Barrier 1 helps, but recent 1000m form remains plain and she is unplaced in all ten starts. A minor placing is the realistic aim if she lifts.

Rated well on recent form but was beaten over 17 lengths last start. Place claims only if he turns around that finishing effort.

Beaten a long way last start and unplaced in nine runs at this trip. Others bring stronger recent claims.

Two heavy defeats in a row and unwanted in the market both times. Hard to make a case until she shows more late.

Quick back-up after a last-start defeat, but her sixth two runs back is enough in this line-up. Can be a genuine winning player.

Light weight is a plus, but recent margins are wide and she is unplaced in ten track-and-trip runs. Place hope at best.

Last at her latest run and still unplaced after seven starts. Has to produce a much stronger 1000m effort.

Returns from two months off and is lightly raced, but the last two margins were heavy. Place claims if sharper fresh.

Back after five weeks and third-up, but she has been last in both runs. A sizeable form lift is required.

Leading jockey and trainer combination is a strong positive. Recent ninths are a query, but she still rates a key chance.

Market liked her more last start and the trainer profile is strong. Must finish off better, but she has place appeal.

Recent margins are plain, but this race gives him the strongest winning chance on the assessed order. Has the experience to take it.
