Sonoda Race 6 - Race 6 - 1700

SPRIGGAN (4) sets the standard after dominant back-to-back Sonoda wins, most recently scoring by eight lengths as an odds-on favourite and again drawing to control the race. WONDER GUARNERI (6) is the main danger, bringing a last-start win, a narrow second the run prior and a strong Sonoda 1700m profile. HO O NOUVEAU (3) has to leave a plain latest run behind, but her previous third and handy racing style keep her in the contest. MAKASENAHARE (2) resumes from a four-month break with proven track-and-trip form, while DENTAL FLOSS (7) profiles as a minor-money hope after placing over 1870m.

Settled just off the lead when resuming at Sonoda and was safely held in seventh behind Spriggan, beaten over 20 lengths after being near the top of an open market. His previous third behind Emergence here was sounder, beaten six and a half lengths from a rearward spot. The strong record with Osamu Shimohara is a plus, but he needs to show far more at this trip.

Returns from a four-month break after two sixths in 4yo+ B1B2 company at Sonoda, the latest when prominent before fading and beaten just over six lengths by Light Pillar. Two back he gave away too much ground at 1870m and was beaten over 11 lengths by Ray And Dance. Proven at Sonoda and the trip, with Tomohiro Yoshimura back aboard, so he has a credible place profile if forward enough.

Can improve sharply on the latest Sonoda run, where she raced just off the pace but finished well held behind Spriggan after being near the top of an open market. The start prior was better, finishing third behind Deserve You and beaten just over four lengths despite being unwanted in the market. Her Sonoda record gives her a base, but the distance query remains the key restraint.

Made it two straight wins at Sonoda with a commanding 3yo+ C1 success, beating Kanemitsu Ace by eight lengths after controlling the race as an odds-on favourite. He had also put away Songwriter by six lengths over 1400m in 4yo+ C2 grade, again starting deep in the red. Six wins and three places from 13 starts here, plus a strong F Komaki record, make him the one they must catch.

Was close enough in running at Sonoda last start but dropped out to finish last behind Regal Time, beaten over 17 lengths at 1400m and unwanted in the market. The run prior was no better, eighth behind Gyarando over 1870m and beaten over 18 lengths at long odds. The class drop is only a small help while his local record and trip query remain clear concerns.

Arrives in reliable form, having worked into the race smoothly before beating The Times by two lengths in 3yo+ C2 company at Sonoda. That followed a good second over 1870m here, beaten just under a length by Aspiracion after finishing strongly. His three wins and four places from 14 starts at this track and distance are significant, and he looks the main danger to the leader.

Loomed and fought on for third over 1870m at Sonoda last start, beaten just under four lengths by Crystal Pit at long odds. That was a better effort than her previous fourth behind Spriggan, where she was beaten over 14 lengths after settling rearward. Back in trip is the query and her winning strike-rate is modest, but recent racing gives her a sound minor-money chance.

Settled rearward and made no meaningful impact behind Spriggan at Sonoda last start, finishing sixth and beaten over 17 lengths at long odds. He had been unwanted in the market when seventh behind Deserve You the run prior, beaten eight and a half lengths. With no placing from four starts at both Sonoda and this distance, he needs a substantial form reversal.
