Sonoda Race 9 - Race 9 - 1400

Z SILVIA (5) is the horse to beat on her overall record at this venue, with 11 wins and four placings from 18 starts at this track and distance and a strong 12-month profile. She was beaten just under seven lengths as a well-found runner in 3yo+ A2 company last start, but the prior B1 win over June Kiitos showed the turn of foot that makes her so dangerous under these conditions. DAIJOBANAI (1) is the chief danger, third-up, proven at the track and distance and much better judged on his narrow second to Silence Time than on his last-start fade in 3yo+ A1 grade. MADAM HAWK (3) is more of a place-leaning winning hope, with the return to 1400m and a useful track-and-distance record giving her a platform after a plain 1870m run. BELLAGIO SONIC (6) was safely held at Nagoya first-up, yet his Kasamatsu win two back and four-from-four distance record keep him in the wider mix if he finds that sharper finish.

Third-up and drawn to race handy, he is capable of sharp improvement despite a plain last at this track over 1230m, where he led narrowly then was swamped and beaten over 14 lengths as a runner near the top of betting. The start prior, he was beaten a head by Silence Time in a 3yo+ COND, and his five wins at this track and distance plus Shingo Oyama's strong record aboard keep him right in the winning mix.

Comments

Has been unable to make an impact at recent runs, finishing fourth at this track last start but still beaten eight and a half lengths by Entelecheia after settling rearward. His previous sixth behind Ecoro Bolt was a similar margin and came when unwanted in the market. The class drop and Wataru Hirose help, but the recent figures leave him with a sizeable task.

Comes back in trip after finishing sixth over 1870m at this track, beaten just over six lengths by Ray And Dance when she failed to finish it off. Her earlier third behind Namura Tata was sound enough for this grade, and she is proven over 1400m with six track-and-distance wins. Weight relief and Osamu Shimohara returning give her a solid place profile if she holds form.

Second-up after a poor return at this venue, where he finished last of nine and was beaten over 19 lengths by Rapido Fiore when unwanted in betting. His previous run was also weak, so recent form is the clear concern. The counter is a deep track-and-distance record, including seven wins, but he has to turn things around sharply to land a minor cheque.

Had her winning streak halted when fourth in a 3yo+ A2 at this track, beaten just under seven lengths by Rapido Fiore after being well found in betting, but that sits against a much stronger body of work. She had won her previous four, most recently beating June Kiitos by a length and a half as a dominant odds-on favourite, and her 11 wins from 18 starts at this track and distance make her the runner to beat.

Found the line only fairly first-up at Nagoya, finishing seventh and beaten nine and a half lengths by God Baroque after giving away too much start. The run prior at Kasamatsu was much sharper, beating River Street by two and a half lengths with a decisive finish. His four wins from four starts at 1400m are a strong platform, though he still profiles as a place chance first.

Recent form is hard to recommend, with a second-last at this track last start when beaten over 17 lengths by Rapido Fiore after fading late. He had finished a distant last at Niigata before that and was big odds. Weight relief and a class drop offer some help, but five unplaced attempts at 1400m leave him only a rough outside hope.
