Mombetsu

LIONTARINA (4) Snagged a narrow win last time at this venue and ideal trip as proven previously. Will be pushing for a forward position early. In the mix. MANA ALII (9) Game effort to win narrowly by 1/2L last time at this track and have to respect the form at the distance. Likely to get back in the field. Winnable race. MIDNIGHT GALE (3) Honest race when 3rd last run at this venue. Masaaki Kuwamura and Hiroaki Sakurai are consistently competitive when paired. Likely to be well placed early. Tracking very well this preparation. One of the major players. TREVENA (7) Nice run when 2nd last start at the track. In fine form since coming back from a break. Capable of forward showing and can be competitive.
