Sonoda Race 5 - Race 5 - 1400

NAMURA BUNCHY (1) resumes as the key runner, bringing stronger 3yo+ C1 form into a 3yo C2 after finishing fifth here when beaten just over two lengths as a well-supported favourite. BESUPOJI (7) is the main race-fit threat, third-up now and coming off a second to Chopasni despite being unwanted in the market, with an excellent Sonoda 1400m profile. MIRACLE ACE (5) maps handily and has been close in both recent runs, though his one win from 24 starts keeps the price important. COSMO TAISHI (8) is honest and should be on pace again, while HIGH RESILIENCE (3) has back-to-back seconds and adds depth to the exotics.

Returns from a lengthy spell after finishing fifth in a 3yo+ C1 at Sonoda, beaten just over two lengths as a well-supported favourite behind Spriggan. The start prior was a sound second to Bellagio Gulf, also in 3yo+ C1 grade, when he worked home evenly. Proven at this track and distance and reunited with Tomohiro Yoshimura, he has the class profile to take beating if forward enough.

Comments

Finished well held over 1230m at Sonoda last start after getting well back and failing to improve, while unwanted in the market. His Nagoya run prior was no better, ninth and beaten over 19 lengths at long odds behind Aulani. The class drop is some help, but he is still a maiden after 13 starts and the rise to 1400m adds another concern.

Has produced two steady seconds at Sonoda, each time beaten three lengths in 3yo+ C2 company and respected in open markets. Last start he was close enough to win but could not improve behind Rikea Couscous, while the run prior had a similar shape behind Momo Royal. His season record is solid, though the distance query keeps him more in the place mix than as a clear top pick.

Placed at her past two Sonoda runs, but the margins tell the story: beaten six lengths by J Pack last start and five and a half lengths by Daigo Ryujin two back. She was at double-figure odds both times and did not quicken when the race lifted. Her track-and-trip record is useful, yet she needs to find more than recent minor money form shows.

Comments

Returns from a two-month freshening after a close fourth at Sonoda, beaten just over a length by Aura Exert after tracking the speed and battling on fairly. He had earlier closed nicely for second behind Matenro Time, so the recent form is genuine. The issue is converting chances, with one win from 24 starts, but he maps to be prominent and should again give supporters a sight.

Led throughout at Sonoda last start and beat Iromegane by half a length as an outside chance in the betting. That followed a narrow second over 820m when tracking the lead, so her current form is sound. She is well exposed but owns three wins and eleven places from 33 starts at this track and distance, leaving her a pace factor who needs to repeat the latest effort.

Improved sharply second-up when second to Chopasni at Sonoda, beaten just under two lengths after working home evenly despite being unwanted in the market. His first-up sixth was better than the bare result, as he had the task ahead and kept coming. Third-up now, with four wins and six places from 15 starts at this track and distance, he is a serious winning chance.

Continues to race honestly, finishing third at Sonoda last start when beaten just over four lengths behind Eifer Idol after working home evenly. He had also been third behind Io Sea One two back, beaten just over three lengths from an outside chance profile. The wide draw is not ideal, but his consistency keeps him in the minor-money conversation.
