Sonoda Race 10 - Race 10 - 1870
A P POETESS (6) Won by a big margin of 3 1/2L last run around here. Has run into the money at every start this preparation. Jockey Taizou Yamamotoya has been successful previously. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. A SHIN PISSARRO (9) Finished 5th last time around here. Should bounce back and stepping up in distance. Displaying good ability this campaign. Has the necessary speed to mitigate the wide draw. Key player. HERNANDEZ (7) Ran well when 2nd last start around here. Should muster plenty of early toe. Can give this a shake. ENA ASCOT (2) Finished 6th last start around here. Should bounce back and has a good draw. Genuine winning chance.

Worked into fourth at this track last start in 3yo+ C2 grade, but was beaten seven lengths at big odds and did not quicken when the race was there to be joined. That followed a tenth at Chukyo Dirt, beaten over 19 lengths after settling rearward. The class drop and third-up run are positives, but he has been unplaced in two tries around 1870m and has plenty to find.

Settled rearward and finished sixth at this track last start, beaten eight and a half lengths by Water Le Seul at big odds. His previous fifth over 1230m was also well held after getting too far back. The return of a winning rider helps and he has placed often at this venue, but the first attempt around 1870m comes off plain recent form.

Kept working when sixth over 1400m at this track last start, beaten just under five lengths after being near the top of an open market. Two back at Niigata she was seventh in a 3yo Maiden, beaten just under four lengths. She has placed at around 1870m and is building a steadier profile, but still looks more a minor-money chance than a win bet.

Back after five weeks on the sidelines following an eighth at Kanazawa in 3yo B2 grade, beaten just over nine lengths after failing to come into the race. She was seventh there the run prior despite being near the top of an open market. A class drop and earlier win give her some background merit, but first look at this venue and trip adds to the task.

Back after five weeks following a ninth at Niigata Dirt, where he was beaten over 15 lengths in a 3yo Maiden and was unwanted in the market. The run prior at Funabashi had more merit, making late ground for fourth, but he remains unplaced in all five starts. The class drop helps, though his overall figures leave him with a clear improvement task.

Comes off a decisive 3yo+ C3 win at this track, closing off strongly to beat Golden London by three and a half lengths over 1700m when well found in betting. She was also third here the start prior as favourite, so the form this campaign is solid. The 1870m record is the only query, but her track record and Yamamotoya Taizo partnership give her the strongest winning case.

Returned to better form when second at this track last start, beaten three and a half lengths by Tagano Diosa after finishing strongly at long odds. He had been safely held as favourite when fifth here the run before, but his record around 1870m is a major asset, including two wins and one placing from seven at this track and distance. That proven staying profile keeps him right in the race.

Returns from a one-month freshening after finishing fifth in a Hanshin Dirt 3yo Maiden, beaten four and a half lengths when near the top of an open market but unable to quicken. His Chukyo Dirt fourth two back was similar on the margin. Third-up and back in grade are positives, although one placing from seven tries around 1870m keeps him to a place profile.

Was disappointing when fifth at this track last start, beaten just over nine lengths after having every chance over 1400m. His second to Ekvator here the run prior reads better, and the broader record is solid with two wins and four placings from twelve starts. He has never raced around 1870m, so the new trip is the key question for a place hope.

Returns from a two-month break and finds class relief after tackling 3yo Maiden company at Sapporo. The latest 11th was plain, beaten over 11 lengths after offering little, and the run before was also well held on dirt. Even so, Tomohiro Yoshimura takes over, the stable change adds interest, and this easier assignment gives him a genuine chance to rebound sharply.

Back after five weeks since finishing tenth at Niigata in 3yo+ ALLOW company, beaten over 15 lengths after settling rearward and making no impression. He was also well beaten at Sapporo two back, so current form is hard to recommend. The class drop and third-up run help, and four career placings give some base, but he looks a place hope only if he turns things around.
