Sonoda Race 10 - Race 10 - 1230
EIFER IDOL (1) Solid effort when winning by 2 1/2L last run at the track and has minimal work to do from the draw. Undefeated last 2 runs. Among better hopes. BRIGLIADORO (7) Subpar when 11th last time at this venue. Shows good early pace. Respect. COPANO JAMES (10) Average effort when 7th last run at the track. Don't overlook as is capable of a big run. MINACK THEATRE (8) Finished 4th last run at this track. Should be around the mark.

Made it two wins in a row when taking a C1 over 1400m at this track, sent out favourite and putting Grand Centre away by two and a half lengths. That followed a four-length C2 win over the same trip, so the progression is clear. The return to 1230m is the small query, but he is unbeaten at this venue and with F Komaki aboard, giving him the strongest winning case.

Worked home evenly for second behind Sunrise Nazca in a C1 over 1400m at this track, beaten four lengths despite being unwanted in the market. She had also picked up well when fourth here two back, beaten a length and a half at big odds. Carries 4kg more than last start and comes back to a trip where she has one placing from three, so she looks a genuine place hope rather than a standout winner.

Worked home fairly without threatening when sixth over 820m at this track, beaten eight lengths after settling well back and starting unwanted in the market. The run prior was also plain in B2 grade, finishing seventh and making no impression late. He has won twice around this trip, but the current form line is too thin to support with confidence.

Picked up late when sixth behind Flash Kelly at this track last start, beaten three and a half lengths at big odds, which was at least an improvement on the run prior. That earlier effort was a well-held second last behind Go Go Tsuyoshi over 1400m. Third-up fitness is a minor positive, but she has to turn that improvement into a much stronger finish.

Returned to the placings when third behind Flash Kelly in a C1 at this track, beaten two and a half lengths after working home evenly at big odds. That was a clear lift from her ninth the run prior, when she raced handy but failed to challenge. She has placed only once from eight at this track and distance, so the safer view is that she is a minor-money chance.

Closed into third behind Sunrise Nazca over 1400m at this track last start, beaten just under five lengths after having plenty to do from well back. His previous run was similar, finishing sixth but working home fairly from an impossible position. The 1230m record is modest for a seasoned horse, yet he arrives fit and his latest finish gives him a sound winning platform.

Was disappointing when second last behind Sunrise Nazca over 1400m, beaten over 15 lengths after holding a narrow lead and being swamped late. The run prior was much better, a one-length second to Mononofuno Michi, and he gets weight relief here. His four wins and five placings from 14 at this track and distance keep him in place calculations, despite the last-start flop.

Returns after a one-month freshening with reliable track-and-distance credentials to lean on. She was fourth behind Mononofuno Michi last start, beaten five lengths after travelling in touch and only working home fairly, and had been well held over 1400m before that. One win and three placings from ten at this track and distance, plus a strong record with Toyokazu Tano, make her a live winning chance.

Finished second last behind Flash Kelly at this track last start, beaten over 11 lengths after giving away a big start and never getting into the race. He had been last to Mononofuno Michi two weeks earlier, again at big odds and making no late impression. Unplaced in all eight starts at this track and distance, he faces a steep task on exposed form.

Loomed up but failed to go on with it when seventh behind Flash Kelly at this track, beaten just over four lengths as an outside chance in the betting. Two back he picked up nicely for fourth behind L'Immensite, so there is some recent substance without a winning edge. His broader career record is sound, but around this trip he looks more a rough place hope.
