Sonoda Race 4 - Race 4 - 1700

DESERVE YOU (5) sets the standard off a strong last campaign, capped by a four-length 3yo+ C1 win at this track when beating Puff Of Wind with authority. Her record at this track and distance is a major edge, with four wins and one placing from five attempts, and the F Komaki partnership has also been highly productive. FASCINATE PI (6) resumes from a much longer break but brings genuine substance from last campaign, including a B1B2 win over A Shin Licht and a later second to Ziggurat at this venue. BELLAGIO HARUKA (3) has to rebound after failing as a short odds-on favourite, yet her narrow third two runs back and outstanding record with Tomohiro Yoshimura keep her in the mix. BONNE NOUVELLE (1) was a sound third first-up, has two wins at around 1700m, and profiles as a solid place hope if she holds that level second-up.

Resumed with a sound third in a 3yo+ C1 over 1870m at this track, beaten three lengths after racing right there and only holding on fairly. She was an outside chance in the betting, so the run had merit, and her record around 1700m includes two wins and one placing from seven attempts. With Toyokazu Tano back aboard, she has a genuine minor-placing case.

Has been safely held at his past two, finishing fifth over 1870m at this track last time when beaten over 12 lengths at big odds. The run prior was also plain, beaten over 14 lengths after being unwanted in the market. The class drop is some help and he is race fit, but recent form says he must find considerably more.

Comments

Was disappointing when seventh over 1870m at this track, beaten over 13 lengths as a short odds-on favourite with no clear excuse. Her previous third over 1400m was much stronger, beaten a neck after fighting hard, and her overall record with Tomohiro Yoshimura is excellent. The 1700m profile is the concern, so she looks more a place hope than a firm winning push.

Comments

Worked from the rear when fourth over 1870m at this track last start, beaten eight lengths after being near the top of an open market. His third the run prior was also sound without threatening, but the return to a proven 1700m profile is important, with three wins and four placings from 12 starts around the trip. Third-up, he can be competitive for a minor cheque.

Returns from a three-month break after closing last campaign with a dominant 3yo+ C1 win at this track, beating Puff Of Wind by four lengths and finding plenty in front. That followed a second to Hercules Tower when strongly fancied, so her recent profile is very reliable. Four wins and one placing from five starts at this track and distance, plus an excellent F Komaki record, make her the one to beat.

Returns from a ten-month break with strong last-campaign form for this level, having run second to Ziggurat in a 3yo+ B1B2 before the spell. He had earlier won a 3yo+ B1B2 at this track, beating A Shin Licht by two and a half lengths as favourite. The long absence tempers confidence, but four wins and three placings from eight starts at this track and distance demand respect.
