Sonoda Race 12 - Race 12 - 1400
NUMBER THEORY (12) Got the prize when winning by 2L last start at this venue and ideal trip as proven previously. Masamichi Kashihara stable are on fire recently. Big chance. ELAN FEVRE (5) Did well when 3rd last time around here and hard to fault at the trip. Performing honestly this preparation. Can give this a shake. CHOPASNI (3) Came in 4th last start around here. Has plenty of early speed. Has been a model of consistency this campaign. Consider an each way bet. BALL THE MAHONEY (1) Ran 4th last run around here but has a nice advantage with a good gate. Good each way value for punters.

Made useful late ground when fourth in a C1 over 1230m at this track last start, beaten just over three lengths by Flash Kelly after being near the top of an open market. The start prior was plainer, finishing fifth and beaten just over seven lengths by Go Go Tsuyoshi. He does have two wins and seven places from 23 attempts at this track and distance, but his recent level still leaves him with ground to make up.

Finished last and well held by Myr in a C1 at this track last start after fading late, and the market gave little encouragement at big odds. That followed a second-last effort over 820m when beaten over 12 lengths by Fairy Taizan and unwanted in betting. Unplaced in all 20 starts in the past 12 months, she is hard to recommend until showing a clearer form turnaround.

Has the right platform after finishing fourth to Harienju in a C1 at this track last start, beaten just under a length despite not quite finishing it off. Two back she was second to T O Harrison, beaten a neck after picking up well. Six wins and five places from 16 starts at this track and distance is a strong record, and her partnership with Wataru Hirose adds further confidence that she can bounce back into the thick of the race.

Was third to Eifer Idol in a C1 at this track last start, but the margin of six and a half lengths and the market expectation make it only a fair result. Her previous run was much stronger, leading and beating Yuna Pink Gold by eight lengths in C2 as a dominant odds-on favourite. With a win and a placing from two starts at this venue, she remains a genuine place chance if she can reproduce that sharper run.

Continues to hold his form, finishing third to Star Of Adam in a C1 at this track last start at generous odds after settling back. He had also placed behind El Fenix the run prior, so the recent pattern is reliable even if the beaten margins were not tight. His broader record is the compelling part: 11 wins from 23 starts overall and 10 wins from 19 at this track and distance make him a serious winning chance again.

Was second last in a C1 over 1870m at this track last start, beaten over 17 lengths by Tagano Diosa after starting unwanted in the market. The run prior was no better, finishing second last and beaten over 15 lengths by T O Harrison. He has won three times at this track and distance, but current form is a clear concern and he has to find a much stronger finish.

Finished second last to Myr in a C1 at this track last start, beaten over 17 lengths at long odds with no obvious excuse in the run. That came after a Kanazawa win over Meiner Couronne, but she did not bring that form back to this venue. With only two wins from 35 starts overall, she has to show last run was an aberration before appealing as a serious contender here.

Led and was run down late when seventh to Harienju in a C1 at this track last start, beaten four and a half lengths. His previous fifth to Eze Village was a touch better on the margin, beaten just under three lengths after looming without going on. Third-up now and with two wins and five places from 13 starts for Shingo Oyama, he has a realistic minor-placing chance if he sustains his effort longer.

Produced the key recent run when second to Harienju in a C1 at this track last start, beaten a neck after picking up impressively despite being big odds. Before that he was a solid fourth to Eze Village, beaten just over two lengths and again respected enough to be competitive. He has since held a head-to-head edge over Chopasni, and with strong season form plus Tomohiro Yoshimura booked, he looks the one they have to beat.

Was well beaten by High Love Legend in a COND over 1700m at this track last start, finishing fifth and beaten over 13 lengths after being unwanted in the market. The run prior reads much better, a C1 second to Harienju over this venue when beaten two and a half lengths. Back to a distance where he has one win and one placing from three attempts at this track, he can regain enough form to chase a minor prize.

Comes off a confident C2 win at this track, beating Natsumikanchan by two lengths as favourite after finishing strongly. He had been second to Etre Doue the run prior as an odds-on favourite, so the consistency is obvious. Three wins and three placings from six starts is an excellent profile, but this C1 line-up looks a stronger test and he shapes more as a high-quality place hope than a standout.
