Mombetsu Race 10 - Race 10 - 1800
SARASA HOW NICE (8) rates on top after a strong 2nd at Monbetsu over 1800m last start, beaten 0.75L, having won over 1700m the run prior. DREAM JACK (3) looks the main danger with a 2nd at 1700m two back and a close 6th at 1800m last time. MEISHO HARI SON (6) comes off a decisive 2.5L win at 1700m and stays in the mix up in trip. MOON RAINBOW (5) was a last-start 1600m winner here and had previously chased Meisho Hari Son home over 1700m, so profiles as another key chance.
