Sonoda Race 10 - Race 10 - 1400
SIMPATIA (9) looks the most reliable winning reference despite finishing fourth here last start, as his previous third behind Resplendor was beaten just under a length at big odds and confirmed he is competitive at this level. The return of a winning rider is another positive, though he still has to turn recent consistency into a decisive result. ANGE BONHEUR (12) is the obvious improver after winning by two lengths here over 1400m as a prohibitive odds-on favourite, and with only two starts behind her she has more upside than most. CROSS KNOT (3) also comes through winning form, having beaten O Shin Bomber by a length and a half, but his overall record of one win from 19 starts keeps the assessment measured. KAIRASHI (5) is the each-way anchor of the quartet, with consecutive thirds and solid recent-season figures, but she must find a little more authority to convert that consistency into a win.

Finished fifth here in a 3yo+ C2 last start, beaten over 14 lengths by Civic Charles after being in touch and only working home fairly. The start prior was more competitive when fourth to Macho Sasupo, beaten just under five lengths at generous odds. He carries only 52kg and has placed twice from six runs at the distance, but the maiden record is a clear drag on his winning prospects.

Had market respect when fourth here in a 3yo+ C2 last start, beaten just over six lengths by Key Classic after settling handy. That followed a neck win over Daisy Flash in 3yo+ C3 company at big odds, so the current preparation has substance. Her four wins and two places from 15 starts at this track and distance make her a genuine minor-money chance if she rebounds third-up.

Turned his form around here last start, winning a 3yo+ C3 by a length and a half from O Shin Bomber after travelling close enough and letting down well. He had been unwanted in the market when sixth to Baby Vagy the run prior, so the improvement was marked rather than long established. Proven at this track and distance now, he is a strong winning chance if that latest effort is repeated.

Worked home into third behind Key Classic here last start, beaten just over four lengths at long odds after passing tiring runners late. That was an improvement on the previous fifth to Rikea Couscous, where she was beaten over 15 lengths after conceding a big start. Her track-and-distance record is deep, but recent results still leave her needing another lift to threaten the main chances.

Arrives in consistent form, having placed at her past two runs here. She was third to Rebecca Rainbow last start, beaten four lengths after having work to do, and had earlier run third to Re Go To, beaten two and a half lengths when prominent in an open market. Her recent-season record is solid and the 52kg helps, but she needs to find a stronger winning edge.

Tried hard when fourth over 1230m here last start, beaten just over three lengths by Lunar Phantom at generous odds. Her previous third behind Malts Schon, beaten just under two lengths, was also honest enough, but both recent runs came at 1230m and she now returns to 1400m. With one win and seven places from 17 starts at this track and distance, a place is more realistic than a win.

Was well found enough in an open market last start but finished fifth to Sunrise Nazca, beaten seven and a half lengths after getting his chance. Two back he was sixth in 3yo COND grade, beaten just under four lengths by Marino Estela. He is only four starts into his career and may still have improvement, yet his maiden profile keeps the winning assessment restrained.

Was safely held here a week ago, finishing sixth behind Radiant Eye and beaten over 13 lengths after leading narrowly before being swamped. Her second to Nordia over 820m two back was better, but that was a shorter 3yo+ C3 and she remains winless from 25 starts. She has placed four times from 13 at this track and distance, so minor money is the right level of expectation.

Comes through two solid efforts here, most notably a third to Resplendor two back when beaten just under a length at big odds after fighting hard. The latest fourth behind I'm A Queen was a wider-margin result, beaten six and a half lengths, but he has won at this track and distance and gets a winning rider back. His recent form makes him one of the clearest winning chances.

Finished fourth to Civic Charles here last start but was beaten over 14 lengths and had been unwanted in the market, so the placing number flatters the performance. The run prior was weaker again when seventh to Resplendor, beaten over 18 lengths, and he was beaten by Simpatia around that time. His old track credentials are not enough to offset the current margin concern.

Settled just off the lead when sixth to Rebecca Rainbow here last start, beaten nine and a half lengths and unwanted in the market. Her previous fourth to Economica was also a heavy defeat, beaten over 13 lengths despite making late ground. A past track-and-trip win gives some background support, but the current form leaves her with plenty to find.

Returns from a one-month freshening after breaking through here in 3yo+ C3 company, beating Nord Stella by two lengths as a prohibitive odds-on favourite. That was a sharp step forward from her debut fifth to Sakura Top Moon, where she was well fancied but beaten nine and a half lengths. Lightly raced and already a track-and-distance winner, she profiles as a major threat again.
