Mombetsu

TIMBALITOS (7) Looked good when 3rd last time at the track and good career start. Jockey Genta Ochiai and trainer Junji Tanaka have a solid working relationship. Could pose a threat and expected to go very close. RIVER LUMINOUS (5) Ran 6th last start at this track. Overlooking the last run. Junji Tanaka has been training plenty of winners recently. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. RYUNO PIRATES (2) Right in contention last run at this venue and drawn nicely. Jockey Yamato Ishikawa and trainer Fuyuki Igarashi are an appealing combination. Won't be far away. CASTOR (4) Finished 7th last start at the track. Can make a comeback. Junji Tanaka stable are on fire recently. Likely to settle back in the field. Well placed and has solid claims.
