Sonoda Race 3 - Race 3 - 1400
IROMEGANE (4) Came in 4th last start at the track. Expected to rebound. Warrants a bet. CRIOLLO GOLD (8) Resuming after a spell. Gave away some ground when 9th last run at Sapporo. Should improve from the last run. Should jump out and bowl along. Looks promising in this race. STREET QUEEN (3) Tailed off to finish 12th last start at Sapporo. Can show a better performance this time but will be down in distance. Change in trainer. Key player. YAKUJIN MYO O (1) Didn't finish at this venue but has a nice advantage with a good draw. Does take a while to get into stride. Could run a race.

Failed to finish at this track last start as an outside chance in the betting, so there is no recent result to build a strong case around. The run prior was only sixth over 1230m, beaten just over six lengths after racing handy and failing to finish off. He has won three times at this track and distance, but current form leaves him with plenty to find.

Finished last at this track three weeks ago and was well beaten after settling handy, with the market offering little confidence. His previous fifth was better, making ground late when beaten five lengths, and the winning rider is back aboard. Even so, the latest defeat was too plain to overlook and he has to lift sharply.

Returns from a two-month freshening after a heavy defeat at Sapporo Dirt, where she was 12th over 1700m and never competitive. The more encouraging run came the start prior when third, beaten just over five lengths, after working home evenly and starting near the top of betting. Back to 1400m is a query on exposed evidence, but her placing record keeps her in the each-way mix.

Was beaten four lengths into fourth as favourite at this track last start, having enjoyed the right trail before failing to go on with it. That followed a much stronger second, beaten half a length by Resplendor, so his best recent form is competitive. With eight wins at around 1400m and a solid past-year record, he profiles as a place hope rather than a clear top pick.

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending last campaign with a second-last at Kokura Dirt, beaten over 13 lengths and unwanted in the market. His previous 12th at Kyoto Dirt was also well held at big odds, and he remains unplaced from five starts. The class drop is some help, but his race form gives him a sizeable task fresh.

Has been safely held in both recent runs at this venue, finishing second last and beaten over 10 lengths behind Kairashi last start after making no headway. The start prior was a distant fifth, beaten over 14 lengths. He has placed three times overall, but recent figures and his record at this track and distance leave others looking stronger.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing 12th first-up at Niigata, beaten just over five lengths after giving away a big start. The form line is plain, but she is second-up, drops into a more suitable grade and is tagged as the top recent and distance-rated runner in this field. In a race lacking depth, that gives her the strongest winning profile.

Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing ninth at Sapporo, beaten three lengths after settling handy and not quickening. His previous fourth at Hakodate was sound, beaten three and a half lengths when respected in betting. With four placings from eight starts and a strong local stable behind him, he has the right profile to run into the money.

Returns from a two-month break after resuming with a seventh at Niigata, beaten five lengths over 2000m after failing to finish off. That was stronger 3yo Maiden form than this, and the class drop is the key reason to be positive second-up. The first look at 1400m is the obvious question, but his rated profile makes him a major winning chance.
