Sonoda Race 12 - Race 12 - 1400
MIYAJI MAMIKO (10) sets the standard after being beaten a neck at Sonoda in 3yo+ C2 company, a clear step forward from her Chukyo effort when she made late ground from well back without threatening. She is still a maiden, so the short-priced view needs some discipline, but the recent run is the sharpest piece of exposed form. G T TRUE (8) is the solid danger, second here first-up and already proven at the Sonoda 1400m with two wins and three placings from seven attempts. SUNRISE FRID (6) has been plain in stronger maiden races at Hanshin Dirt and Chukyo Dirt, yet the class drop gives him a genuine chance to improve. FUKUNO FEAR NONE (2) has the best recent winning profile, having bolted in two back before a beaten-favourite second, but she needs to rebound from that odds-on defeat.

Returns from a one-month let-up after finishing sixth in a 3yo COND over 1600m at Funabashi, beaten over 12 lengths by Danon Mustang. The run prior at Tokyo Dirt was also plain, finishing ninth in a 3yo Maiden and beaten over 10 lengths after offering little late. The class drop is some help, but he remains unplaced from six starts and needs a clear lift back in trip.

Had every market expectation on her last start when a prohibitive odds-on favourite at Sonoda, but could only manage second behind Civic Charles, beaten three and a half lengths after working home evenly. She had bolted in here two back in 3yo+ C3 grade, beating Yazan by seven lengths, and her season record is strong. The beaten-favourite tag tempers the win case, though she is still a genuine top-four player.

Resumes after five months off following a poor Sonoda effort in 4yo+ C1 grade, finishing second last behind Smile Clark and beaten over 13 lengths at long odds. His previous fourth behind Ai Towa, beaten just under a length, reads much better, and his Sonoda 1400m record is excellent. Even so, that latest collapse leaves him with something to prove first-up.

Was disappointing here last start in 3yo+ C2 company, finishing sixth behind Miracle Ace and beaten over 13 lengths after never coming into the race. The better guide may be his previous second to Rikea Couscous, where he was beaten three lengths and held a stronger market position. He has a long association with Wataru Hirose, but the recent flop makes him more a place hope than a winning anchor.

Returns from a two-month freshening after a very plain debut at Chukyo Dirt, where she finished last in a 3yo Maiden and was well beaten by 29 lengths behind Pyoitto Hareruya at long odds. She gave away too much ground and was never in the picture. The class drop is the only real positive, and she needs to show she has taken a significant step from that first outing.

Returns from a two-month freshening and is much better placed after tackling 3yo Maiden company at Chukyo Dirt and Hanshin Dirt. He led into the lane last start before tiring behind A Shin Live Well, beaten just under nine lengths, and had also failed to finish off two back. Back to 1400m is a query, but the class relief and third-up profile give him a stronger winning case than the form figures suggest.

Resumes after three months off with recent form that needs improving, having finished ninth at Fukushima Dirt and beaten over 14 lengths behind Chaser at big odds. Her Urawa run five days earlier was more encouraging, working home fairly when eighth and beaten just over six lengths. She has placed once from three tries at the distance, but the winning case relies on a fresh return producing more finish.

Resumed with a sound second at Sonoda in 3yo+ C2 grade, beaten four lengths by Ai Towa after working home evenly. That followed a seventh in 4yo+ C1 company where he was never a winning hope but kept finding to the line. His Sonoda 1400m record, two wins and three places from seven starts, is the key strength, and that reliability makes him one of the main dangers.

Kept finding after being claimed last start, finishing third behind Miracle Ace at Sonoda and beaten just over six lengths at an outside quote. That followed a half-length win here over Iromegane, again in 3yo+ C2 grade, so her current form is honest. The distance query is enough to hold back the win push, but she has earned respect as a sound place chance.

Went desperately close at Sonoda last start, finishing second to I'M A Queen and beaten a neck after being pipped at the post in 3yo+ C2 company. That was a strong lift from her Chukyo 3yo Maiden run, where she finished eighth at huge odds but closed off from well back. She is still winless, yet the latest performance puts her right at the head of this race if she holds that form.

Has been safely held in two recent Sonoda runs, finishing eighth behind Elizabethtown last start and beaten just over six lengths at big odds after failing to quicken. The start prior was no better for winning purposes, beaten over 12 lengths behind Lady Pegasus despite being in touch. His track-and-distance record is respectable, but current form says he needs a sharper finish.

Returns from a five-week freshening after being never competitive and beaten out of sight at Niigata Dirt over 1800m behind Cardamom. Her debut over 1200m at the same venue was also well held, finishing 12th behind Jorvik and beaten over 11 lengths after conceding a huge start. Third-up and dropping in class helps only marginally; she needs a major turnaround.
