Sonoda Race 7 - Race 7 - 1230
MAMMEY APPLE (9) Came in 2nd last time here. Putting up notable efforts since returning from a break. Massive hope. Z HIRO (5) Finished 4th last run around here. Expecting improvement here. Worth consideration. MEHRANGARH (7) Came in 4th last run here. Has the potential to improve sharply. Likely to be well placed early. Capable of forward showing and can be competitive. MIYAKAGURA (3) Ran 7th last run around here. Has a nice turn of foot. Don't overlook as is capable of a big run.

Returns from a two-month freshening after a sound sixth in a 3yo Maiden at Sapporo, beaten just over two lengths after tracking the speed and not quite finishing it off. Her Hakodate eighth prior was fair rather than sharp, but the class drop is significant and the inside draw helps. The 1230m record remains a query, yet this is a suitable chance to break through.

Back after five weeks following another plain 3yo Maiden run, finishing eighth at Sapporo Dirt when beaten just over seven lengths at long odds. She made some ground from the rear without threatening, much like her Hakodate seventh two back. The class drop and race fitness help a little, but an unplaced 12-start record leaves her with plenty to find.

Was never in the picture at this track last start, finishing seventh in 3yo+ C2 grade and beaten over 11 lengths after giving away a big start in the lane. Her Niigata run prior was also well held at long odds. The class drop and third-up timing are positives on paper, but she is unplaced from five starts and has yet to show enough at this distance.

Back after five weeks and comes off two eighths on the dirt, most recently beaten six and a half lengths at Sapporo Dirt after tracking the lead and giving little in the run home. She had been close enough at Hakodate Dirt before fading again. The class drop and fourth-up timing give some context, but she must finish off far better to threaten.

Has been honest without winning this campaign, finishing fourth at this track over 1400m last start when fair to the line behind Taishin. The run prior over 820m was better than it reads, as she picked up nicely from well back. Two placings from four attempts at this track and distance keep her in the mix, though the modest strike-rate points more to a place chance.

Resumes after a three-month break following a plain end to last campaign, finishing 12th at Chukyo when unwanted in the market and unable to make an impression from well back. His Kokura ninth prior had a little more merit, but he is still a maiden with one placing from ten starts. Minor-money claims rely on a sharper return.

Produced his best recent run when fourth at this track last start, beaten just over a length after looming up before failing to go on with it. He was also fourth here two back, albeit beaten just over seven lengths. A track-and-distance win and solid overall place record are positives, but Mammey Apple had his measure recently and he profiles as a rough each-way chance.

Back after five weeks after finishing eighth first-up at Hanshin Dirt, beaten seven lengths when unwanted in the market and unable to finish the job over 1800m. His only other start was a distant tenth at Kyoto Dirt as a two-year-old. The class drop and leading rider booking give him some scope second-up, but he still has to prove himself under race pressure.

Went very close at this track last start, finishing second to Timeless Love and beaten half a length after closing strongly as a short odds-on favourite. She had been only fair when fifth here prior, again as an odds-on chance, so the winning strike-rate is the concern. Even so, weight relief and five placings from eleven runs at the distance make her a major player.
