Sonoda Race 2 - Race 2 - 1400
TAIIKUSUWARI (5) Ran 5th last start at the track. Can make a comeback. Good to see Tomohiro Yoshimura is jumping on. Good prospects. T O MONT BLANC (7) Finished 3rd last run at this track but has to carry more weight this time. Has very good closing speed. Respect against this field. OUTSIDE BET (3) Finished 5th last run around here. Overlooking the last run. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. BLOOM WALTZ (9) Ran 4th last start at this track. Expecting improvement. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds.

Was well beaten last start when last behind Meisho Ranzan at this track, beaten over 17 lengths after settling prominently and coming under pressure late. The third to Sweet Sunrise prior also came at long odds and still left her beaten over 11 lengths. Her track-and-trip record is the saving grace, but recent form says she has plenty to turn around.

Dropped right out last start when last behind A P Poetess over 1700m at this track, well beaten by 26 lengths after travelling in the right spot. He had made some late ground the run prior, but was still seventh and beaten just over nine lengths. Returning to a familiar 1400m helps, though recent form makes him only a rough minor hope.

Finished fifth behind Lac Puer at this track three weeks ago, beaten five and a half lengths after settling rearward. That followed a third behind Glory One when working home evenly, so his recent pattern is honest enough without looking dominant. With two wins around this distance and a sound record for Teppei Kotani, he has a realistic place profile.

Worked home from well back when seventh behind A P Poetess over 1700m at this track, and that run was better than the beaten margin alone suggests. The start prior was plain, but he now drops in class and returns to a 1400m range where he has placed three times. He also had G T Pearl behind him last start, which supports the view that he can be the one to beat.

Has finished fifth at both recent runs over 1230m at this track, most recently behind Eloim Essaim when beaten four and a half lengths at long odds. The run prior had more merit given he made late ground from well back and had market respect. His record with Tomohiro Yoshimura is a plus, but he will have to sharpen up to trouble the main chances.

Was never a factor last start behind A P Poetess over 1700m at this track, finishing second last and beaten over 16 lengths. Her fourth behind Yazan the run before is the run to assess, as she loomed up before peaking late and was beaten just over four lengths. Back to 1400m, where she has won and placed, she has clear claims to bounce back strongly.

Kept finding to run third behind High Love Henin at this track last start, beaten three lengths as an outside chance in betting. That was a better effort than her fifth to Camouflage two back, when beaten over 12 lengths. She rises 4kg from the latest run but has ample track-and-distance grounding, making her a sound placing contender.

Led and worked home evenly when fourth behind Meisho Ranzan at this track, beaten eight and a half lengths at big odds. That was an improvement on the previous sixth behind Sweet Sunrise, where she battled late and was beaten over 14 lengths. Her track-and-distance statistics are strong, but the recent margins still leave her short of the better hopes.

Was fair to the line when fourth behind Sakura Top Cross at this track two weeks ago, beaten eight and a half lengths after being unwanted in the market. The start prior was weaker, giving little late when fifth and beaten over 14 lengths behind Glory One. Wataru Hirose back aboard is a plus, but her 24-start maiden record keeps the win case in check.
