Sonoda Race 1 - Race 1 - 820
ISE BAY (5) Below par performance when 9th last start at this venue. Expected to be flashing home. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. T K VINO (6) First up and won by a big margin of a distance first up last preparation at the track. Will be down in distance. Respect against this field. SCARLET HONEY (7) Ran well when 2nd last time around here. Has early speed and positions nicely. No shock to see a win. PRIME TAILOR (1) Finished 4th last start here but will appreciate a good alley. Should race on the speed. Down in trip. Good prospects.

Held her ground for fourth behind Bloom Waltz over 1400m at this track last start, beaten five and a half lengths after being near the top of betting but not quite finishing it off. The start prior was another fourth, though she was unwanted in the market. She has three wins at this venue and the winning rider is back, but the first try around 820m makes her more a solid place hope than a clear standout.

Comes off two plain C3 runs over 1400m at this track, most recently second last behind Nori Wood Tail when beaten over 16 lengths and unwanted in the market. The previous run was similar behind Cresco Taishi, so the recent figures are hard to dress up. Even so, the low draw and new 820m scenario give him a chance to reset, and the race assessment keeps him among the main players.

Was safely held when seventh behind Aratama Oso over 1400m at this track last start, beaten over 10 lengths at long odds. His fifth two back behind Ideal Match was more competitive, beaten just under two lengths, but he has been unplaced in all 15 starts at this venue and has no placing from two tries around 820m. A sharper finish is required.

Finished off strongly from well back for fourth behind Spyware at this track last start, beaten just under six lengths, which was a fair recovery after being out of his ground. The run prior over 1230m was plain, but his 820m record is deep enough to respect with four wins and ten placings from 43 attempts. He is not the safest winning play, though late place claims are genuine.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing ninth behind Mon Cheval at this track, beaten just over six lengths after making no impression late. He did make some late inroads for fourth two back, but was still beaten just over six lengths and unwanted in betting. His career record is respectable, yet recent 820m attempts have not delivered a placing, so he must lift sharply.

Returns from a four-month break after ending last campaign with a second-last in C2 company behind Kurino Champ, beaten over 12 lengths. She had also been well beaten the start prior, but her broader record at this track is sound with four wins and twelve placings from 42 starts, and she has two wins from six starts this season. If ready to produce fresh, she has enough back form to be a major threat.

Made another strong C3 statement when second to Gray Rule at this track last start, beaten just under two lengths after being run down late. That followed a close third behind Mon Cheval, and her record over this track and distance is a major asset: one win and seven placings from ten attempts. With the winning rider back and recent form clearly superior, she sets the standard and looks the one to beat.

Has been well beaten at his past two C3 runs over 1400m at this track, finishing second last behind Aratama Oso most recently and beaten over 15 lengths after being unwanted in the market. His overall record remains winless from 28 starts, and two previous 820m runs produced no placing. He would have to improve well beyond recent figures.

Dropped out after having her chance when second last behind Bloom Waltz over 1400m at this track last start, beaten over 10 lengths at long odds. She was last and beaten over 17 lengths the run prior, so the recent pattern is firmly negative. Four wins at this venue give some background, but current form has to turn around markedly.

Comes off a plain eighth behind Fille Chan at this track, beaten over 14 lengths, and she was only sixth the run prior after sitting close enough but failing to quicken. The positive is that she has placed four times from 15 starts at this track and distance, so the 820m profile is not hopeless. She profiles as a minor money chance if finding a cleaner finish.

Was never involved when tenth behind Gray Rule at this track last start, beaten over 16 lengths after settling well back and failing to improve. The start prior was worse, when last behind Wonder Wac and beaten out of sight. He is also unplaced from three attempts at this track and distance, leaving him with a major form turnaround to find.
