Sonoda Race 2 - Race 2 - 1400

SAKURA TOP ROL (4) Nice run when 2nd last time at the track and showing improvement in recent outings. Daichi Matsuki has multiple wins aboard. Will be there at the finish. TENKU WORLD (3) Clearly outclassed when 6th last start at the track. Should come to hand quickly. Goes very close. VIP PURE ACE (7) Nice run when 2nd last time here. Can give this a shake. VARIO (5) Finished 7th last time at this venue but back over more ground. Could pose a threat and looks promising.

Worked home evenly when fifth in a C3 at this track last start, but was still beaten just over eight lengths by Wakino Aries and again went around at long odds. The start prior was similar, finishing seventh and beaten seven and a half lengths by Annabelle Diamante. With no wins from 68 starts and a modest 1400m record, she has to find a level not shown lately.

Conceded a huge start and was never in the race when second last to Best Of King in a C3 here, beaten just over eight lengths at big odds. His previous sixth behind Kurino Achiever was also plain, with no clear excuse after being unwanted in the market. Even so, the higher-class winning background is relevant in this field, and a sharper 1400m showing puts him right in the race.

Had every chance when sixth to Meisho Ranzan at this track last start, beaten over 14 lengths after failing to challenge. Two runs back he worked home evenly for third behind Iromegane, albeit beaten ten lengths. His three wins and 16 places from 35 starts at this track and distance are hard to ignore, so he profiles as a place chance if he recaptures that steadier form.

Comes into this in the right form, finishing second to Tatta Tara Rira in a C3 at this track last start, beaten two lengths after being sent out at generous odds. He had earlier loomed and fought hard when third to Wonder Aument, beaten only half a length. A proven track-and-distance winner with the winning rider back aboard, he brings the most reliable recent profile and looks the one to beat.

Finished seventh first-up in a C3 over 820m at this track, beaten eight lengths by Yakumo Dream after settling rearward and only keeping on. His earlier ninth over the same trip was another plain effort at big odds. He has placed at this track and distance, but no wins from 18 attempts in that scenario leaves him with plenty to turn around second-up.

Was never in the picture when second last to Temps Tendre in a C3 at this track, beaten over 13 lengths after giving away a big start. The run prior was even harder to recommend, finishing last behind Kurino Achiever and beaten over 15 lengths at long odds. He has won at this track and distance, but current form leaves him a long way short of the main chances.

Rebounded neatly when second to Wakino Aries in a C3 at this track last start, beaten a length after letting down nicely and holding on fairly. That was a sharp return to competitiveness after being beaten a long way behind Camouflage. She rises 3kg from that latest run, but two track-and-distance wins and eight career victories give her a genuine minor-placing profile.

Offered little when seventh to Coeur Briller in a C3 at this track last start, beaten eight and a half lengths after being in touch early. The run prior was a fourth behind Kowamote Hammer by the same margin, despite being near the top of an open market. With no wins from 21 starts at this track and distance, she must produce far more to threaten.
