Sonoda Race 7 - Race 7 - 1400
LONG SELLER ASK (2) Got the prize when winning by 1 1/4L last start around here and can find a nice position from the draw. Should jump out and bowl along. Can have an impact. TOMOJA EVE (1) Racing fresh after a break. Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last time at this track and can save some energy from the alley. Coming back in distance. Looks to be value. T O TOWNES (7) Chimed in with a win by 2 1/2L last run at the track and displaying improvement over the past few runs. Won't be far away during the run. Worth consideration. YUINO SADAHARU (5) Came in 6th last start at Nakayama. Should bounce back but back in trip. First appearance for a new trainer. Has early speed and positions nicely. Each way best.

Returns from a four-month spell after ending last preparation with a C1 second at this track, beaten three lengths by Chateau Eze after working home evenly. The run prior was a strong C2 win at this venue, beating Ninen F Gumi by three and a half lengths. His 1400m record is sound and the rider has a good record on him, so he profiles as a genuine place hope fresh.

Returns from a one-month freshening after a C2 win at this track, beating Re Go To by just over a length when making up plenty of ground and looking to have more in reserve. She had been beaten over 10 lengths by Etre Doue at her previous run, but her record at this track and distance is excellent. Winning claims are not beyond her, though place claims look the safer reading.

Has been beaten a long way at his past two starts at this track, finishing last to Gateau after settling miles back and failing to improve. That followed another distant last behind Hishi Cullinan, and the market has been giving him little hope. An older winner with prior ability, but current form leaves him with plenty to find.

Returns after two months off following a distant last in a Sapporo Dirt Mdn over 1700m, where he was big odds and never came into the race. He had also offered little at Sapporo the run prior when beaten over 11 lengths. The class drop and third-up profile give him some setup support, but his recent figures demand a sharp turnaround.

Returns from a five-week freshening with mainland Mdn form that reads well for this level. He was sixth at Nakayama Dirt last start, beaten just under seven lengths by Kashima Raifu, after a third there behind Tornado Isle. The 1400m trip is new, but the class drop and weight relief are meaningful positives, and he has the profile to be a major player.

Returns from a four-month spell after finishing his last preparation with a seventh in C1 grade at this track, beaten over 14 lengths by Valar after settling handy and failing to challenge. He was also well held by Olivia Sunrise the run prior. The track-and-trip record is solid, but recent form says he has to produce far more.

Broke through in a C2 at this track last start, beating Saimon Exceller by two and a half lengths as a prohibitive odds-on favourite. He had been close the run prior when fourth to Jupiter Barows, beaten a length and a half after being pipped late. The profile is progressive this campaign, and another forward showing would not surprise.

Finished well held at this track last start when last behind Rugger Queen at big odds, and the run prior was another plain tenth at Niigata Dirt behind Tamamo Breaking. She was also beaten by Akao at this venue about three weeks ago. With one placing from ten starts, she requires a clear lift to turn rough place claims into something stronger.

Resumed with a solid second at this track, beaten four lengths by Rugger Queen after tracking the speed and working home evenly. His previous run before the break was just fair in C1 company, but his overall recent record is reliable and Daichi Matsuki knows him well. The 1400m record is strong enough to make him the clear winning benchmark.
