Sonoda Race 9 - Race 9 - 820

ASAKA LOVE LOVE (12) is the horse to beat after resuming with a dominant four-length win over this track and distance as favourite, beating Yakumo Dream with plenty in hand. Her 820m profile is the strongest in the race and she has the right second-up platform to repeat. EARTH JEWEL (1) is the main danger, having tracked the speed and driven hard to win by a length in 3yo+ C3 grade, with the inside draw and proven track-and-trip form keeping her firmly in calculations. YAMAICHI LOVELY (4) also arrives off a win, scoring by a neck as a well-supported favourite, and her long 820m record gives her a genuine base despite the narrower margin. WIN VIEW (6) was poor over 1400m last start, but her prior two-length win at this venue and strong two-start record at the distance make her a credible rebound hope.

Bounced back strongly at this track last start, tracking the speed before driving late to win by a length in 3yo+ C3 company. That was a sharp turnaround from an eighth in 3yo+ C2 grade when unwanted in the market, and she now brings two wins from seven tries around 820m. Drawn to get every chance from barrier one, she has a solid winning case again.

Returns from a one-month freshening after finishing seventh at this track in 3yo+ C2 grade, beaten six and a half lengths at big odds after sitting handy and failing to finish off. Her prior 3yo+ C3 win was much better, leading to the turn and scoring by three lengths from Groove Groove. The class drop and track-and-trip win help, but she profiles more as a place hope than a reliable winning threat.

Has been well held at both recent runs over 1230m at this venue, most recently finishing second last and beaten over 19 lengths behind Appuppu after settling rearward. The run prior was also plain in 3yo+ C1 grade when well beaten at long odds. He has won around 820m before, but current form leaves him with a sizeable task.

Led and kept finding to win by a neck at this track last start as a well-supported favourite, beating Pale Blue Dot in 3yo+ C3 grade. She had also led when fifth behind Promettre the run prior, beaten just over three lengths. With four wins and ten placings from 50 attempts around 820m, she brings a genuine specialist profile and can make her presence felt again.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing last at this track in 3yo+ C1 grade, beaten a long way behind Gift Basket when rearward and fading late. His previous run was no better, ending a distant last behind Le Vent Vert after again being unwanted in the market. A softer setup may help slightly, but recent evidence is difficult to recommend.

Dropped out sharply when last over 1400m at this track last start, despite being near the top of an open market, so that run is hard to gloss over. Her prior effort was much stronger, leading and kicking away to win by two lengths from Seiun Superior in 3yo+ C3 grade. Back to 820m with weight relief, she is capable of a better showing if that latest run is left behind.

Finished last over 1230m at this track last start, beaten well held at big odds after sitting just off the leading division and conceding ground late. That followed a beaten-out-of-sight last when near the top of an open market. She is untried around 820m and remains unplaced from five starts, so substantial improvement is required.

Failed to get into the race when eighth behind Appuppu over 1230m at this track last start, beaten over 12 lengths at big odds. Her previous run was a clear positive, sitting behind the leaders before winning by just under two lengths from Love Stinger, and that form included beating Yamaichi Lovely. Even so, she must lift off the latest effort to threaten the main chances.

Was second last over 1400m at this track last start, beaten over 15 lengths after leading into the lane and weakening out of it. Her run prior was more competitive, finishing sixth behind Nishino Mignonne over 820m when beaten just over two lengths, and she has a win and three placings around this trip. That keeps her in the place mix if she returns to her shorter-course form.

Finished ninth behind Appuppu over 1230m at this venue last start, beaten over 17 lengths despite being near the top of betting. She was also beaten a long way in a 3yo Maiden at Niigata Dirt the run prior. The weight relief is some help and she is third-up, but she has not raced around 820m before and has a lot to prove.

Went close at this track last start, leading and only being run down late when second to Dinner Rush, beaten just under a length. That followed a third behind Safari when unwanted in the market, so his recent form has more substance than most. With one win and six placings from 14 tries around 820m, he is honest enough to hold strong place claims.

Resumed in excellent style at this track, leading throughout and beating Yakumo Dream by four lengths as favourite in 3yo+ C3 grade. She was only fair when sixth behind Fiorino before the break, but her 820m record is clearly superior here, with four wins and three placings from 15 attempts. Second-up with that fresh win behind her, she sets the standard and is the one they have to beat.
