Sonoda Race 12 - Race 12 - 1400
INJECTION (2) Ran 6th last time at this track. Looking past the last run and has a positive draw. Respect against this field. MAMMEY APPLE (4) Below expectations when 7th last run around here. Can win. SMART RAVE (5) Finished 5th last time around here. Displays good tactical speed. Winning hope. RIDERE (11) Ran well when 2nd last run at this venue and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Does take a while to get into stride. Will be competitive.

Recent form has dropped away, with a seventh at this track last start when finished well held at long odds. The start prior was also plain, finishing eighth behind Taishin and beaten over 15 lengths after failing to make headway. Her track-and-distance record offers some consolation, but current form leaves her with a sizeable turnaround to produce.

Worked home no better than sixth behind Maestro Light last start, beaten four and a half lengths, though that was still a more competitive margin than his fourth behind Yamanin Colza the run prior. He has a strong record at this track and distance, with five wins and five placings from 19 starts, so a return to that profile keeps him in the place discussion.

Found the line with purpose to win at this track three weeks ago, scoring by a length from Ridere after quickening from a difficult position. That followed a fourth behind T O Townes when sent out at long odds, so the latest result has real substance. With the winning rider staying aboard and proven form at this venue, he rates as a strong chance to repeat the dose.

Failed to justify solid market support last start, finishing seventh behind Justin Apollo and beaten over 14 lengths over 1230m. Her previous second to Timeless Love was much better, beaten only half a length after finishing strongly, but she remains a 12-start maiden and now tackles 1400m for the first time. An each-way case rests on a sharp rebound.

Finished fifth behind Sun Wing last start, beaten three and a half lengths after being near the top of betting, so the result was below market expectation. The run prior was sound when second to Fiorita, beaten just under two lengths after fighting on late. Her record at around 1400m is reliable enough to keep her in the minor-money mix.

Showed clear improvement at this track last start, finishing third behind Gateau after leading and only being run down late. Her Sapporo Dirt effort prior was too poor to lean on, but this lightly raced filly now has a placing from her only start at this venue and looks ready to peak fourth-up. With the latest run pointing the right way, she sets the standard among the main chances.

Worked home evenly when fourth behind Rugger Queen last start, beaten six and a half lengths after being near the top of an open market. The better guide is his previous second to Jupiter Barows, beaten a nose after tracking the leader and fighting hard, and he had Sun Wing covered around that time. Third-up now, he has the form line to take this out.

Was safely held last start, finishing eighth behind Trainee Verite and beaten over 11 lengths after travelling close enough but failing to quicken. Her previous second to Bellagio Rao was far stronger, beaten two lengths at generous odds, and she has won three times in the past 12 months. Capable of a better showing, though a place looks the more realistic target.

Finished fifth behind Justin Apollo last start but was beaten over 10 lengths and unwanted in the market. Two back at Sapporo Dirt she made some late impression from well back without ever threatening. Still unplaced from 13 starts overall and unplaced at her only try around 1400m, she has plenty to find against stronger profiles.

Returns from a four-month break after ending last campaign with a tenth behind Rachael Pegasus, beaten just over nine lengths and unwanted in the market. His earlier fifth to Fuseno Aurora was also only moderate, but three wins and two placings from eight starts at this track and distance show he has the right base form. Fresh, he still has to lift sharply on recent figures.

Went close behind Sun Wing last start, finishing second at this track and beaten a length in an open market. That was a clear step back towards her better form after a fifth behind T O Townes, and her overall 1400m record shows plenty of placed efforts. With Sakito Yamamoto retaining a proven association, she profiles as a genuine place chance again.

Returns from a lengthy spell after finishing sixth behind M T Estate in January, beaten over 11 lengths when unwanted in the market. The start prior had more merit, coming from an impossible position to finish fifth behind Nanan, and she has won at this track and distance. Even so, a ten-month break and modest recent figures make this a testing return.
