Sonoda Race 5 - Race 5 - 1400
QUATTRO FORTUNA (3) Subpar when 7th last run at this track. Should improve. Jockey Komaki Futoshi and trainer Nobuharu Morimoto go well together. Should come to hand quickly. Respect against this field. BLEU VERT (4) Found another gear when winning by 5L last run here. Has the ability to figure. LILY PARK (7) Ran well when 3rd last run at this venue. Deserves consideration. MARINA SUNRISE (9) Came in 4th last time around here. Can make a comeback but has to carry more weight this time. In the mix.

Was never a winning hope when fifth in a C2 at this track last start, beaten seven and a half lengths by Sweet Sunrise, but he did keep working to the line. His previous third in a C3 came as a well-supported favourite, so there is enough recent substance to offset the latest defeat. The 1400m record is more placing than winning, yet he profiles as one of the stronger chances if he sharpens up late.

Produced a major turnaround to win a C3 at this track last start, scoring by four lengths from Happy Corps at long odds and doing it with something in hand. The concern is the start prior in C2 company, where he was second last and beaten a long way by Ai Towa. His 1400m record and past success with Kenta Sugiura keep him in the mix, but he has to prove that latest spike is repeatable.

Has been safely held at his past two C2 runs, most recently seventh behind Sun Wing after giving little in the run home and being beaten over 11 lengths. He was also close enough before weakening badly over 1230m the start prior. The jockey-horse record and past track placings offer some background support, but his current finishing effort leaves him with plenty to find.

Won a C3 at this track last start by five lengths from Hagino Merveilleux, a sharp response after being beaten a long way first-up. He is third-up now and his six wins at this track and distance give that latest result a solid base rather than looking like a one-off. Returning to C2 company is the test, but his proven profile makes him a genuine minor-placing threat with upside.

Has finished sixth at both recent C2 runs and was beaten over 15 lengths each time, including last start behind Isle Vita when big odds and never a winning hope. That leaves his recent form looking plain, though he is a proven track-and-distance winner and has scored before for Kazuyuki Watase. A return to his better course form would put him around the placings rather than the top pick.

Finished sixth behind Aloha Mau Loa last start and was beaten a long way at long odds, continuing a plain recent pattern. She had also offered little after finding a reasonable position two back. Weight relief and a long history of wins at this track and distance help her setup, but at this stage of her career she will have to lift sharply to match the main hopes.

Has the right recent profile for this, finishing third in C2 company last start behind Sweet Sunrise after her dominant C3 win from Harusame the run prior. That victory showed she can put a race away, and she also beat Bring Joy home a couple of weeks ago. With a light weight, a solid track-and-distance record and consistent recent form, she stands out as the horse they have to beat.

Settled prominently over 1230m last start but offered little late and was beaten over 16 lengths by Sunrise Roy when unwanted in the market. Her previous sixth over 820m told a similar story, with a handy run but limited finish. She has won at this track and gets weight relief, but the step back to 1400m is a query after being unplaced at her only try around the distance.

Ran a respectable fourth in C2 company last start, beaten two and a half lengths by Sekisei, and that followed an effortless C3 win over 1230m as a short odds-on favourite. The issue is turning that form into a 1400m win, with no victories and three placings from 12 attempts at this track and distance. She has some recent spark, but still looks more a rough place hope than a key winning chance.
