Mombetsu

GEIST SEGEN (5) Was all too good winning by 1 1/2L last time around here. Jockey Tatsuya Watanabe adds value. Should go well. VIRTUE (7) Finished 5th last time at this venue. Giving another go here and strong performer at this distance. Should muster plenty of early speed. Jockey Masaaki Kuwamura is very comfortable steering. Capable of forward showing and can be competitive. DUJAC (4) Came in 4th last time at this track. Can show a better performance this time. Should jump out and bowl along. Jockey Fuuma Ono has been successful before. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. WIN TOLKIEN (1) Came in 6th last time at this venue. Overlooking the last run and gets a favourable alley. Toshiya Yamamoto rates highly. Could go well.
