Sonoda Race 7 - Race 7 - 1400

HAGINO MERVEILLEUX (1) Was competitive when 2nd last run at this track and drawn the rails. Should be going forward early. Honest enough customer who is strongly placed. SUBARASHII HIBI (2) Clearly outclassed when 7th last run around here but drawn nicely. Has early speed and positions nicely. Each way. ITEMAE BUFFALO (6) Finished 4th last start at this venue. Overlooking the last run. Expected to settle towards the tail. Chance to break through and a could give a show. CITRONETTE (3) Lacklustre showing when 6th last time here. Won't be far away during the run. One of the main dangers.

Improved second-up when second in a C3 at this track, beaten five lengths by Bleu Vert after starting a prohibitive odds-on favourite. Her debut fifth behind Wonder Wac came when well-supported and settling rearward, so she has shown enough through two starts to keep progressing. Third-up with weight relief, she looks well placed to convert that early promise into a first win.

Well proven at this track and distance across his career, but the current form is hard to recommend. He was seventh behind Bleu Vert last start, beaten over 16 lengths after giving ground in the run home, and had been second last over 820m the run prior at big odds. That recent pattern leaves him with plenty to turn around.

Comments

Had been a sound third behind Crown Ocean two starts ago at this track, beaten just under four lengths after working home evenly. The latest sixth behind Allonsy Cafe was much plainer, beaten over 12 lengths at long odds after having too much to do. Still a 20-start maiden, so he profiles as a place chance only if returning to that prior run.

Has the old track-and-trip record to command some respect, but the recent evidence is modest. He settled rearward and finished sixth behind High Love Henin last start, beaten six and a half lengths, after being well held at long odds behind Offshore Girl. At this stage of the campaign, he will have to lift sharply to trouble the main chances.

Comments

Has been around the mark without breaking through, finishing fourth behind Tatta Tara Rira last start after starting favourite and third behind Okyompi the run prior at big odds. The concern is that she remains winless from 28 starts and has only placed three times around this distance, but her recent C3 form is good enough to make her a major player again.

Worked home better than most when fourth behind High Love Henin last start, beaten five and a half lengths after being near the top of an open market. He had also been close enough when fifth behind Wonder Aument two back. A strong jockey-horse record and proven 1400m credentials support the place case, even if a win this season has eluded him.

Lifted into second behind Ingrid Rose last start, beaten four lengths after having work to do and continuing to find the line at long odds. That was a clear improvement on her second-last behind Okyompi, where she was never a winning hope. The overall record is modest, but a repeat of the latest run puts her in the minor-money mix.

Gets weight relief, but recent runs have offered little encouragement. He was eighth behind Bleu Vert last start, beaten over 16 lengths after conceding a huge start, and had been beaten over 18 lengths by Kowamote Hammer the run prior. With no wins from 78 starts at this track and distance, he has a sizeable task.
