Sonoda Race 7 - Race 7 - 1400

PIECE D'ARGENT (8) has the strongest current case after consecutive placings at this venue, first running second to Civic Charles and then third behind Sakura Top Cross when again kept safe in an open market. His track-and-distance record is sound for this field and the booking of Wataru Hirose adds to the appeal. SETONO DIAMOND (4) has not quickened at her past two, but she is a proven winner at this track and distance and her overall 1400m record is clearly superior to most of these. SHIRONO KUMIKYOKU (1) resumes from a freshening after a plain 1700m run, yet her previous second to Wonder Guarneri keeps her in the conversation if she can offset a modest 1400m profile. GROOVE GROOVE (10) comes through two beaten runs over shorter trips, but the class drop and return of a rider who knows him give him some scope to improve if he handles the 1400m more effectively this time.

Comments

Returns from a two-month break after finishing eighth over 1700m at this track, beaten over 16 lengths when handy but unable to respond in the straight. The run prior was much better, a second to Wonder Guarneri at this venue, albeit beaten six lengths at long odds. Her long 1400m record is a clear query, but the class drop gives her a genuine chance to rebound.

Worked home nicely when fifth to Best Of King at this track last start, beaten two and a half lengths despite starting at big odds. That was a sharper effort than his previous fifth behind Isshin, when unwanted in the market and beaten six and a half lengths. Still a maiden after 27 starts, but he has placed at this track and distance and profiles as a solid minor hope.

Second-up after a plain return when second last to Meisho Ranzan at this track, beaten over 14 lengths after settling handy and offering little late. Her start prior was a more competitive second to Selena Risu, though she only battled on after being near the top of betting. Weight relief helps and her recent placing rate is respectable, but she has to turn the fresh run around quickly.

Comes back to a suitable track-and-distance scenario after finishing sixth to Lac Puer at this venue, beaten just under six lengths when she failed to quicken. She was also well held two back, but her record is a strong counterpoint: five wins and ten placings from 41 starts at this track and distance. With the winning rider back, she remains one of the main winning chances.

Backs up quickly after finishing eighth to Temps Tendre at this track, beaten over 11 lengths after being close enough before weakening. That followed a distant last behind Lac Puer at big odds, so the recent form is hard to recommend. He has won over this type of trip before, but current form leaves him relying on a marked turnaround.

Was never involved when eighth to A P Poetess over 1700m at this track last start, beaten over 15 lengths after settling a long way back. His previous fifth to Okyompi was fair rather than strong, and the pattern this campaign has gone the wrong way. A decent record with Tatsuya Takemura offers some support, but he needs a cleaner finish to threaten.

Finished seventh to Sakura Top Cross at this track last start, beaten over 12 lengths after settling rearward. Two back he was fifth behind Yamato Faith but still beaten over 13 lengths after finding little when asked. His long track-and-distance record includes wins and placings, yet recent margins leave him with plenty of ground to make up on the main chances.

Has the best recent profile in the race, backing up a second to Civic Charles at this track with a third to Sakura Top Cross last start. He was near the top of an open market there and, while beaten eight lengths, he again held a placing at this level. Two wins at this track and distance plus Wataru Hirose going back on give him the clearest path to victory.

Comments

Picked up late when fifth to Meisho Ranzan at this track last start, beaten eight and a half lengths after starting among the outsiders. That was better than her previous second last behind Camouflage, where she dropped out sharply and was well beaten. Her track-and-distance record contains a win and regular placings, but recent form still sits below the key hopes.

Comments

Comes off two eighths over shorter trips, most recently beaten over 12 lengths behind Spyware after holding a spot to the turn and coming under pressure late. He had been near the top of an open market two back when run down over 1230m, so there is some market respect in the profile. The rise to 1400m remains the test, but the class drop keeps him in the place mix.
