Sonoda Race 10 - Race 10 - 1400
MEISHO HACHIMAKI (5) is the horse to beat despite proving costly as a short odds-on favourite when fourth at Sonoda last start, beaten just over two lengths. His prior 3yo AB run over 1870m was plain on the margin, but he is proven at both this track and the distance and brings the best overall profile among the main hopes. YAMANIN COLZA (8) is the danger: her latest seventh at Chukyo Dirt was only fair, yet her previous fourth there, beaten just under two lengths, reads well enough for this class drop. REGALINO (1) has been safely held at Niigata and Hakodate, but the easier setup gives her a place pathway. MACHO SASUPO (3) arrives off a decisive Sonoda win and must be respected, though the ten-year-old mare is more a solid danger than the top pick.

Returns after five weeks following a 14th at Niigata in a 3yo Maiden over 1600m, beaten just under seven lengths after giving away a big start in the lane. She had earlier led at Hakodate over 1800m before finishing tenth, beaten three and a half lengths, so the class drop is the main positive. The first try at this distance and the back-in-trip query keep her more as a place prospect than a win anchor.

Has the track-and-distance record to command respect, with five wins and five places from 17 starts at Sonoda over this trip, but the current form is the sticking point. He was fourth here last start, beaten just over nine lengths, and had been seventh here before that, beaten over 12 lengths, both times unwanted in the market. Third-up improvement is possible, yet he must lift sharply.

Put the race away well at Sonoda last start in 3yo+ C2 grade, scoring by two and a half lengths from Yamanin La Vera after being near the top of betting. That followed a third here behind Momo Royal, beaten four and a half lengths, so the recent form has substance. She can use her natural speed to race prominently, and while this is no easy repeat task, she has genuine minor-money claims.

Second-up after leading and weakening to finish 12th in a 3yo Maiden over 1900m at Chukyo Dirt, beaten over 12 lengths at long odds. His previous run at Niigata Dirt was also well held, finishing seventh and beaten over 15 lengths. The class drop and 53kg give him some relief, but he is still unplaced from eight starts and needs a far more complete performance to land a placing.

Returns from a two-month break after finishing fourth at Sonoda in 3yo+ C2 grade, beaten just over two lengths as a short odds-on favourite. That defeat is the query, but he settled handy and was far from disgraced, while his profile is strengthened by a win from two starts at the distance and one win from three at this track. Back in a suitable race, he deserves another chance to justify the support.

Was sent out favourite first-up at Sonoda but could only manage seventh, beaten just under six lengths, and the run never really looked like producing a winning threat. The start prior was a ninth in 4yo+ C1 grade, beaten over 12 lengths, so the form has dipped despite her solid overall placing record. A return to better form is needed, especially with the distance query still attached.

Returns from a five-month break after a poor 15th at Hanshin in a 3yo Maiden over 1800m, beaten over 11 lengths at big odds. The run before was better on margin, finishing tenth over 1600m and beaten just over five lengths, but he was still unable to make an impression from back in the field. The class drop helps, though he must show a stronger closing effort before appealing strongly.

Third-up now and gets a class drop after finishing seventh in a 3yo Maiden over 1200m at Chukyo Dirt, beaten just over seven lengths when she did not quicken. The stronger reference is her prior fourth at the same venue and trip, beaten just under two lengths in an open market. Rising to 1400m is the question, but if she reproduces that earlier effort she is one of the key chances.

Returns after five weeks following a last placing at Niigata Dirt over 1200m, where she was tailed off at big odds after settling rearward. Her previous run at Nakayama Dirt over 1800m was also last, beaten out of sight, so there is no recent performance to build a positive case around. The class drop is noted, but the rise in trip looks another hurdle rather than a clear solution.
