Sonoda Race 10 - Race 10 - 1400

KIKUNO LE MEILLEUR (6) Came in 2nd last time at this track and will be well suited at the distance. Komaki Futoshi and Norio Tanaka are an appealing combination. Looks a winning hope. RAPIDO FIORE (1) Was all too good winning by 1 3/4L last start at this venue and can save some energy from the alley. Has plenty of early speed. Should be right in the finish. ASTRAKA (2) Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last run here and will try to take advantage of the barrier. Shows very good finishing speed. Jockey Tomohiro Yoshimura is a plus. Serious player. OZMOPOLITAN (5) Finished 5th last run at this track and down in distance. Expecting to settle positively. Sound chances.

Returned to winning form in an A2 at this track last start, sitting right there and letting down well to beat Grace Of God by just under two lengths. That was a sharp rebound from his last in a COND over 1700m, where he faded late and was beaten over 17 lengths at big odds. Back at 1400m, where his track-and-distance record is excellent, he looks the runner they have to beat.

Held third as favourite behind Rapido Fiore at this track last start, beaten just under two lengths after being run down late. His previous second to Virya came as favourite in a COND, though he only battled on and was beaten five lengths. The track record is sound and Tomohiro Yoshimura is a positive booking, but he profiles more as a place hope than a clear winning edge.

Resumed with a solid second to Rapido Fiore in an A2 at this track, beaten just under two lengths after letting down well and holding her ground. The run prior at Kokura Dirt was plain, finishing 11th in an ALLOW when unwanted in the market, but she is proven at this venue and distance. With that fresh run under her belt, she has the right form to threaten again.

Returns from a two-month break after finishing 15th at Niigata in an ALLOW, beaten just over seven lengths at long odds after settling well back and making no late impression. She was second last at Hakodate the run prior, beaten over 12 lengths, and has been unplaced at all six starts in the past 12 months. The class drop helps, but a major form reversal is required.

Lacked a change of gears when fifth over 1870m at this track last start, beaten six lengths by Ray And Dance in A2B1 company. Two back she was more competitive when third over 1700m, working home evenly and beaten a length and a half in a small A2 field. Her 1400m record is useful, but recent form leaves her with ground to make up on the leading chances.

Back after six weeks since being beaten just under a length by Ankoro over 1230m at this track, where he finished strongly but went under as an odds-on favourite. He had also closed hard for third to Astraka at the same trip the start before. His career record is strong and 1400m suits, yet recent defeats to rivals around him keep him in the each-way rather than main-win category.

Finished fifth behind Rapido Fiore at this track last start, beaten seven lengths after being fair to the line and unwanted in the market. His previous fifth to Namura Tata was weaker, beaten over 10 lengths after failing to run on. He is proven at this track and distance, but the recent margins leave him looking more a rough improver than a serious winning threat.

Returns from a two-month break after a safely held tenth at Niigata Dirt in ALLOW company, beaten eight and a half lengths after conceding a huge start and never getting involved. He was also plain over 2600m at Fukushima two back when big odds. The class drop is the key positive and he has won in the past year, but 1400m is new territory and place claims are the safer assessment.
