Sonoda Race 6 - Race 6 - 820
YUNA MONSTER (9) Ran 7th last time around here. Should improve from the last run and showing consistent performance in races. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Has the ability to take this out. HOKUZAN CHOUCHOU (6) Finished 6th last run at this track. Going well this preparation. Worth a ticket. KUKUNA ZINC (2) Disappointing display when 10th last run at this venue but has a positive alley. Good to see jockey Tomohiro Yoshimura is jumping on but down in trip. Worth strong consideration. MISTER N (3) Came in 4th last time around here. Serei Sasaki rates highly. Should come to hand quickly. Will be around the mark at odds.

Finished last in a C2 over 1230m at this track last start, beaten a long way after giving nothing in the straight and being unwanted in the market. That followed a ninth to Safari, also well held at long odds. The return to a proven 820m set-up and weight relief are positives, but the recent form is too plain to make a strong case without a sharp turnaround.

Third-up now and has a genuine 820m record to call on, with one win and one placing from four starts around this trip. His latest tenth over 1230m was plain after settling rearward, but the previous third behind Haste showed he can still be competitive in C2 company. Tomohiro Yoshimura back aboard strengthens the place case rather than the win profile.

Held on well enough for fourth behind Dinner Rush at this track last start, beaten just under three lengths after leading to the turn and being pipped late. He had been beaten just under eight lengths two back when handy but unable to quicken. Two wins from six at this track and distance are useful, though Five Reyna has the recent edge over him.

Continues to race honestly, backing up a C3 win from Ascendia with a C2 third behind Dinner Rush at this track, beaten just over two lengths despite starting at big odds. Her record at this track and distance is the key: five wins and seven placings from 18 attempts. With the winning rider back, she looks one of the most dependable winning chances.

Third-up and comes off a placing at this track, finishing third behind Wonder Bless over 1400m after lacking the dash to worry the winner. The first try around 820m is the obvious test, and her Niigata Dirt run two back was plain, but she is lightly raced, race fit and open to more improvement than most. That profile makes her the one to beat.

Was sixth behind Smash Hit last start, beaten just over six lengths after tracking the lead and failing to go on with it. The run prior was stronger, a third to Trance Run when she travelled well and only lacked a change of gears late. Two wins and five placings from 13 at this track and distance keep her in the mix for a minor placing.

Ran fifth behind Dinner Rush at this track last start, beaten three lengths after being close enough at the turn but unable to quicken. That followed a fourth to Fairy Taizan when near the top of betting, so her form is holding without quite landing a punch. Two wins from six at this track and distance give her a sound base for another honest showing.

Has been safely held in two recent C2 runs at this track, finishing ninth behind Smash Hit after sitting just off the lead and finding little. She was also last behind Trance Run two starts back after pressing forward and coming under pressure late. Her track-and-trip record offers some background support, but current form has to improve markedly.

Third-up and returns to a distance where her overall profile is better than the last two runs suggest, with one win and two placings from five starts at this track and trip. Even so, she has finished seventh in both runs this campaign, beaten six and a half lengths last start and just over eight lengths before that. Others bring stronger current form.

Has to bounce back from an eighth behind Fukuno Fear None over 1400m, where she led narrowly before being swamped and beaten over 12 lengths. Her previous third to Miracle Ace was better, and her 12-month record shows two wins and nine placings from 22 starts. The 820m record is not strong, but the rider-horse combination keeps her firmly in contention.

Recent form reads poorly, with a second-last to Smash Hit in C2 company after settling rearward and making no impression. She had been beaten over 16 lengths in a C1 at this track two starts back and was unwanted in the market both times. Unplaced in four starts at this track and distance, she must find far more to be competitive.

Resumes after six weeks off following a second-last in a C1 at this track, beaten out of sight after fading late. Her previous run was also poor, finishing last behind Pink Margarita when she dropped out and was beaten a long way. The class drop and 820m win are positives in isolation, but her recent and track records leave her with plenty to overcome.
