Sonoda Race 10 - Race 10 - 1230
ANNO DOMINI (9) is the horse to beat after consecutive Sonoda wins, the latest a 3yo+ B2 success by two lengths over Pazu where he let down nicely and had something in reserve. His Sonoda record and two-from-three distance profile give him the clearest winning platform. DUAL TASK (3) is the main danger off a third to Olivia Sunrise, beaten two and a half lengths after leading and only being collared late; his track record and proven rider pairing keep him right in the contest. NISHINO HINAARARE (7) improved to fourth in that same Olivia Sunrise race and gets the winning rider back, although she has yet to place from four attempts at this track and distance. HIGH LOVE SONG (5) was disappointing as favourite over 1400m, but her beaten-a-head run here two starts ago and strong track-and-distance record make her a genuine bounce-back hope.

Was fifth at Sonoda last start in 3yo+ B1B2 company, beaten seven lengths by Z Karen after being handy enough but unable to finish off. The run prior was similar, finishing sixth over 1400m after leading briefly and fading at big odds. The 50kg helps and she has won here before, but her recent closing efforts leave her with a fair bit to find.

Returns from a lengthy ten-month spell after finishing 12th at Fukushima in 3yo+ ALLOW grade, beaten just under five lengths by Bumblebee after giving away a huge start. He was also unwanted in the market when 11th at Tokyo two back. The class drop is significant and the inside draw helps, but his recent race record is thin enough to keep him more in the place mix.

Produced a much better run at Sonoda last start, leading and fighting on for third in 3yo+ B2 grade behind Olivia Sunrise, beaten two and a half lengths. He had been safely held over 820m prior, but this distance suits better and his Sonoda record is solid. With Tomohiro Sasada back aboard and a favourable recent profile, he looks a strong winning threat.

Returns from a five-week freshening after being never competitive and beaten out of sight at Niigata over 2850m behind Rickenbacker. He was tailed off at Fukushima the run before and has been unplaced in all seven starts in the past 12 months. The weight relief is some help, but his recent efforts are too plain to recommend with confidence.

Disappointed as favourite at Sonoda last week, finishing seventh over 1400m in 3yo+ B1 grade and beaten five and a half lengths by Short Stop after only a moderate final effort. Her prior second here, beaten a head by Wakino Noble, reads far better. Back to 1230m with a strong track-and-distance record, she can rebound into the minor-money picture.

Kept on from well back when sixth over 820m at Sonoda last start, beaten just under four lengths by Sun Uikyo after being unwanted in the market. Two back he loomed and did not go on with it, finishing fourth but beaten six and a half lengths. His nine wins at this track and distance are respected, but his current form is short of his best.

Improved last start when fourth at Sonoda in 3yo+ B2 grade, beaten three lengths by Olivia Sunrise after looming without quite finishing it off. That was a clear step up on her previous last over 1400m behind Valar. She did finish behind Dual Task in that latest meeting and is unplaced from four track-and-distance tries, so she appeals more as a place hope.

Settled rearward and made little impact when sixth at Sonoda last start, beaten seven and a half lengths by Z Karen at long odds. The previous run over 820m was much the same, finishing eighth after failing to make ground. He has a sound record at this track and distance and a good history with Yamamotoya Taizo, but recent form is well below winning standard.

Comes in off consecutive Sonoda wins and was particularly strong last start, scoring by two lengths over Pazu in 3yo+ B2 grade after letting down nicely with something in reserve. He had beaten Ho O Samret at C1 level the run before and now has three wins from 12 starts at this track. Two wins from three at the distance and an unbeaten record with Tomohiro Yoshimura make him the clear horse to beat.
