Sonoda Race 1 - Race 1 - 1230
REVALOIR (1) First up and pulled away to win by 4L first up last preparation at this track. Tomohiro Yoshimura is a plus and suited at this distance historically. Drawn the rails. Suitably placed in this race. ASK VUE REVE MORE (3) Just average when 9th last start at this venue. Should race on the speed. Can get the job done. BOTTOMLESS (5) Tidy effort when 2nd last run here. Should muster plenty of early toe. Toyokazu Tano and Tarou Nagashima work well together. Can measure up to this company. MONTSAINT VERONICA (8) Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last start at this venue. Has run into the money 2 from 2 attempts this preparation. Chance to break through and a could give a show.

Back from a four-month break, brings the strongest track-and-distance profile in the race with three wins and two placings from five attempts at 1230m on this track. He ended last campaign with a plain tenth in C2, well beaten by 20 lengths as a heavily backed odds-on favourite, but his prior second to Mononofuno Michi was only a neck away. Reunites with a rider who knows him well and the fresh setup gives him a strong winning platform.

Battled on for fifth behind Smalt at this track last start, beaten just over four lengths after being unwanted in the market and failing to finish it off. Her previous third behind Lac Puer came over 1400m without threatening the winner. Weight relief is in her favour, but one placing from 14 starts around 1230m keeps the winning case limited to place territory.

Second-up after a disappointing return when last behind Win Solennel over 1400m at this track, beaten over 14 lengths after starting favourite. He had also been beaten over 11 lengths in C2 before the break in runs. His overall track record is strong and he has won at this trip, but a sharp form turnaround is required to make him a serious player.

Has posted two fourths in succession at this track, most recently beaten four lengths behind Smalt at big odds after settling rearward. That was sound enough for a minor-money push, but he remains winless from 23 starts and has managed only one placing from 10 attempts around 1230m. He can run honestly without shaping as a likely winner.

Resumed with a second behind Smalt at this track, beaten three and a half lengths after being well in front and then found wanting late. That followed a fair fourth in C1 behind Cool Field before the break in runs, so there is some substance to the profile. Still a maiden after six starts, but two placings from three at this track and distance keep him in the minor-money mix.

Returns from a five-week freshening after a fair fifth behind Yazan over 1400m at this track, beaten just over seven lengths when unwanted in the market. The run prior in C2 had some late work despite the margin, and he now links again with a jockey who has won on him. His 1230m record is place-heavy, but the rider switch and solid local profile keep him high among the winning hopes.

Finished a distant last behind Coeur Et Cassis first-up after being near the top of an open market, and there was no obvious excuse in the run. The earlier third behind Safari in C2, beaten a length and a half at big odds, reads much better. The class drop is some help, but he has to rebound sharply from that latest result.

Has been consistent in two runs this campaign, finishing third both times at this track, including a latest effort behind Eloim Essaim when beaten just under two lengths as favourite. She knuckled down well enough there and now reaches a suitable third-up point. With a win and two placings from five at this track and distance, she has the profile to be in the finish again.

Was below market expectation when sixth behind Smalt last start, beaten just under five lengths after travelling in touch and only working home fairly. His previous second to Steel Sonic, beaten a neck, was far stronger and he does get weight relief with a track-and-distance win already on the board. A repeat of the prior run would put him around the fringes.
