Sonoda Race 2 - Race 2 - 1700
DERMA SATURN (6) Did well when 3rd last time at this venue. Should muster plenty of early toe. Tomohiro Yoshimura takes the reins today. Good enough for this and worth a bet . FIFTH DOOR (2) Ran well when 2nd last run here and has a positive gate. Been in the money frequently this campaign. Should go well. LONG LONG LONG (5) Tidy run when 3rd last start here. Should be swooping on the field late. One of the hopes. COPANO CASTER (3) First up after 15 weeks and honest race when 3rd first up last preparation at this track. Trifectas chance.

Has been well beaten at both recent C3 runs at this track, finishing last to Warera Hoshinoko over 1400m on good ground after failing to come into the race. The run prior was no better, second last behind Marble Tiswa and beaten over 18 lengths after dropping out sharply. A past track win is only minor comfort, with the 1700m record another concern.

Went close over 1400m at this track last start, beaten half a length by Aratama Oso, though punters took a short price and expected the win. His previous fourth behind A P Poetess was much plainer, beaten nine and a half lengths after settling rearward. Steps back to 1700m with one unplaced try around the trip, but five placings from seven starts keep him firmly in the minor-money mix.

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending his last campaign with a tailed-off sixth at this track, where he settled rearward and made no impression at big odds. He had earlier run third over 1870m in C2 grade, beaten a length by Puff Of Wind, and his 1700m record is sound enough. Even so, resuming from that last effort leaves him with plenty to prove under race pressure.

Worked home only fairly when fourth to Earth Grazer over 1400m at this track last start, beaten just over five lengths after being in touch. The run prior gives her better standing, closing into second behind Marble Tiswa at generous odds and beaten a length and a half. She has won at this venue and owns a steady place profile, but the winning strike rate keeps the assessment to minor claims.

Ran on into third behind Bloom Waltz over 1400m at this track last start, making up late ground to be beaten just over four lengths. That was a better betting and performance profile than his seventh to A P Poetess, when unwanted in the market and never likely despite passing a few late. Still a 31-start maiden, so he shapes as a rough place chance rather than a genuine win play.

Resumed with a solid third to Galant over 1400m at this track, beaten just under two lengths as favourite, and he is entitled to hold his place among the main hopes second-up. The 1700m record is the one reservation, with four previous tries around the trip for no placing, but his broader profile is clearly the strongest: three wins from eleven, a flawless place record at this track and Tomohiro Yoshimura back aboard.
