Sonoda Race 12 - Race 12 - 1230

NORDIA (10) is the clear starting point after a decisive four-length C3 win over 820m at Sonoda, having also been beaten just under a length here the run prior. The rise to 1230m is the main query, but she has won at the distance and her Sonoda record keeps her firmly on top. JERICOACOARA (1) has the strongest track-and-trip profile, returning with a length-and-a-half C3 win over this course and distance and boasting a perfect place record from four attempts at the set-up. VENICE QUEEN (8) brings winning form and deep Sonoda 1230m consistency, though she rises from a narrow C3 success. MEHRANGARH (4) lacks the same winning edge, but consecutive fourths and a sound track-and-distance record give him a credible minor-money case if the leading pair come back to the field.

Returned in sharp order at Sonoda, leading throughout to win a 3yo+ C3 over 1230m by a length and a half as a dominant favourite at a very short odds-on quote. Her previous run was a sound second in 4yo+ C2, beaten two and a half lengths by Mononofuno Michi when also well found. Two wins and two places from four starts at this track and distance make her a serious winning chance again.

Ran fifth at Sonoda last start in 3yo+ C2, beaten just over three lengths by Haste after starting at big odds. The start prior was better on paper when second to Techno Express, beaten three lengths, but she was again unwanted in betting. Still a maiden after 13 starts and the distance query remains, so she needs a clearer winning edge to trouble the main chances.

Settled rearward and finished fourth at Sonoda last start in 3yo+ C2, beaten four and a half lengths by Mononofu Yellow as an outside chance in the betting. That followed a surprise win here at long odds, coming over the top to beat Snowday by a length. She has won twice at this track and distance, but at eight years old still needs to lift on her latest effort.

Made up good ground when fourth at Sonoda last start in 3yo+ C2, though the margin was still just over seven lengths behind Appuppu. His previous fourth was more competitive, beaten two and a half lengths by Grand Centre on a fast track. One win and two places from five starts at this track and distance support a realistic place case, even if the win line is harder to sell.

Disappointed as a short odds-on favourite at Sonoda last start, finishing fifth in 3yo+ C2 and beaten three and a half lengths by Lunar Phantom after working home only fairly. Two back at Sapporo she was tenth in a 3yo Maiden, beaten just over three lengths in an open market. Four placings from ten starts keep her in the minor-money discussion, but the maiden status is a genuine restraint.

Finished sixth at Sonoda last start over 1400m in 3yo+ C2, beaten eight lengths by Sunrise Nazca and again sent around at big odds. The run prior was more concerning, leading before being claimed and dropping out to finish last, beaten over 14 lengths by Cho Umakuiku. Weight relief helps slightly, but an unplaced six-start record says she must improve sharply.

Resumed with a solid third at Sonoda in 3yo+ C2, beaten just over two lengths by Haste at generous odds. That was a clear improvement on the April run in 3yo COND, where he was second last and beaten over 19 lengths after giving away a big start. His record with Tomohiro Yoshimura is encouraging, so he profiles as a place hope if the fresh run is the true guide.

Brought up another Sonoda win last start, taking a 3yo+ C3 by half a length from Mythos Ode after racing prominently. The start prior was also honest enough when fifth to Quattro Fortuna, beaten just over two lengths. One win and ten places from 15 starts at this track and distance underline her reliability, and she looks a genuine threat if she holds that recent form.

Was tailed off at Sonoda last start over 1400m, finishing last behind Sunrise Nazca after being miles back and failing to improve at big odds. Her previous Chukyo Dirt run was no better, finishing second last and beaten a long way by Now Or Never over 1800m. Light weight is a small help, but three unplaced starts leave her with a major turnaround required.

Produced the standout recent win at Sonoda, taking a 3yo+ C3 over 820m by four lengths as an odds-on favourite and giving Seiun Superior no chance late. She had earlier run second over the same trip, beaten just under a length by Trance Run after travelling well. The 1230m is the question, but she has won at this distance and her track record makes her the one they have to beat.

Failed to back up her big C3 win when eighth at Sonoda last start over 820m, beaten just over seven lengths by Trance Run after being close enough at the turn. The prior effort was dominant, beating Awesome Sunrise by seven lengths as a well-supported favourite. She has a track-and-distance win, but one win from 21 attempts at the set-up keeps the assessment cautious.

Returns from a four-month break after winning a 3yo C1 at Sonoda over 820m, beating Eleven Up by just under a length as favourite. Before that she was third over the same trip, beaten half a length by Mister N after travelling well. One win and three places from four starts at Sonoda is a strong base, but the first try at 1230m makes her more a place prospect than a safe win play.
