Sonoda Race 6 - Race 6 - 1230
SMILE TOKEN (2) has the right profile to break through after two solid Sonoda runs, closing to within half a length on debut over 820m before finishing fourth here over 1230m, beaten just over a length. That latest run ties her closely to the key form and she looks ready third-up. HINA DECOLLETE (11) brings the most reliable record, with six placings from seven starts and a perfect place record from four runs at this track and distance, though she was run down as an odds-on favourite last time. KOJUN NIKO SHIN (4) beat both HINA DECOLLETE and SMILE TOKEN when second to Rock On D'Oro, and her two-start record gives her clear upside. SNOW WIZARD (10) was respected in betting on debut over 1400m and can improve second-up, but the drop back in trip is the point he has to answer.

Worked home soundly when fourth to Angelus Ring at Sonoda last start, beaten four and a half lengths after starting at long odds. That followed a second here behind Nippon Seira, albeit beaten five lengths and unwanted in the market. He has placed once from four starts at the track and distance, so the local form is useful enough for minor claims, but the winning edge still looks limited.

Returns from a four-week break after a strong fourth at Sonoda over 1230m, beaten just over a length by Rock On D'Oro after leading and sticking on evenly. Her debut third behind Brave Ten over 820m was also sharp, beaten half a length after travelling well near the speed. Now third-up, drawn low and already proven competitive here, she brings the right platform to win.

Finished sixth to Mo Mo Shine at Sonoda last start and was beaten a long way after sitting just off the speed without offering a serious challenge. His previous fourth over 820m was also well held, beaten eight and a half lengths when unwanted in betting. A class drop and race fitness help, but his latest form leaves him with plenty to find against the better chances.

Returned with a very solid second to Rock On D'Oro at Sonoda, beaten a length after working home well at long odds. That result is important, as she beat Hina Decollete and Smile Token from this field. Her debut third behind Mo Mo Impact over 820m showed early promise, and with two placings from two starts she has enough substance and improvement to be a genuine winning threat.

Returns from a three-month break after finishing seventh at Mombetsu over 1000m, beaten just under six lengths at long odds after making no impression from the rear. Her previous run was much weaker, beaten over 18 lengths by Tree Of Life. The class drop is some help, but she is unplaced from three starts and the rise in trip adds another hurdle.

Backs up quickly after finishing eighth over 820m at Sonoda, beaten over 16 lengths by Ninen Tsuki Gumi when settling well back and fading late. His debut fourth behind June Speak was also a distant effort in a small field. He does get weight relief and a class drop, but the current form is too thin to make a strong case against these.

Improved into third behind Princess Road at Sonoda last start, beaten four lengths at generous odds in a small field. That was a clear turnaround from his previous run when second last to Methode and beaten out of sight after settling back. With a placing from three starts and the same jockey returning, he can be included for exotics, but the win case still requires another step.

Picked up nicely when fourth to Princess Road at Sonoda last start, beaten just over four lengths in a small field. Two back he battled on over 820m but was still beaten over 11 lengths by Siena Grace after settling rearward. The class drop gives him some support, yet he remains unplaced from four starts and will have to finish off more strongly.

Placed on debut over 820m at Sonoda, finishing third to Peridot and beaten just over four lengths after pressing forward and holding his spot without threatening the winner. That gives him a foundation second-up, and the class drop is a plus. The rise to 1230m remains the main test, so he must show more late strength to trouble the leading hopes.

Resumes off a four-week freshening after finishing fourth on debut at Sonoda over 1400m, beaten just over nine lengths by Maru Thunder after being swamped late. He was near the top of betting there, which suggests some regard, and the leading jockey-trainer combination is a positive. The drop back to 1230m is the question, but he can improve enough to press for a placing.

Continued her consistent campaign when second to Angelus Ring at Sonoda, beaten a length and a half after being run down late as odds-on favourite. She had earlier run third to Rock On D'Oro, beaten just over a length, and her record at this track and distance is four placings from four attempts. The wide draw is some challenge, but her reliability keeps her right in the winning discussion.
