Sonoda Race 6 - Race 6 - 820

ASAKA LOVE LOVE (11) Good win by 2 1/2L last time at this track and strong performer at this trip in the past. Unbeaten this campaign with 2 wins from 2 starts. Strong chance. IVY MEOW (2) Below standard effort when 12th last run at Sapporo but has a good draw. Should be going forward early. Gains the services of jockey Tomohiro Yoshimura but back in trip. Key player. SHARK RYUSEI (4) First run back from a break. Unimpressive effort when 7th last time at this venue and will be dropping in distance. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Must be considered. SMART KINGDOM (10) Disappointing run when 6th last time around here and down in distance. First appearance for a new trainer. Include.

Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing last in a C1 at this track, where she tracked the speed but failed to quicken and was well beaten by 22 lengths behind L'Immensite. The start prior was also plain, beaten over 18 lengths at long odds. She has two wins from nine starts at this track and distance, but recent form leaves her with plenty to repair.

Comments

Returns from a two-month freshening with a mixed but strong enough profile for this. She was never competitive and beaten out of sight as favourite at Sapporo Dirt last start, with no clear excuse, but that followed a nose second there when heavily supported into very short odds-on territory. The first look at 820m is a query, yet the class drop and inside draw give her a clear chance to bounce straight back.

Comments

Returns from a two-month freshening with exposed form that is difficult to endorse. She was ninth in a Mdn at Niigata Dirt last start, beaten over 14 lengths after settling miles back, and was only eighth at Fukushima Dirt the run prior at big odds. The weight relief and class drop assist, but an unplaced record from ten starts is a major obstacle.

Returns from a four-month break after ending last campaign with a last placing at this track, beaten over 16 lengths behind Marble Halo. His previous run had more merit, finishing fourth and beaten just over three lengths after looming without finishing off. The key is his 820m record: one win and two places from four tries at this track and distance keeps him in the minor-money mix.

Comments

Has been knocking on the door with consecutive seconds at this track, most recently beaten two and a half lengths by Asaka Love Love in C2 company after being close enough to challenge. He was just run down late by Dinner Rush the start prior and his record around 820m is reliable, with one win and seven placings from 15 attempts. The winning strike-rate is modest, but his current form reads well.

Took a step in the right direction when fifth in C2 at this track last start, beaten just over seven lengths by Asaka Love Love after racing handy and holding her position to the turn. That was a better effort than her ninth the run prior, when beaten over 17 lengths after being near the top of betting. Still a maiden, but light weight and race fitness give her a sound place chance.

Comes off two heavy defeats at this track, finishing a distant last over 1230m behind Sunrise Roy after being poor late, and dropping out alarmingly after leading over 1400m the run before. Her record around 820m is much better, with three wins and three placings from ten starts, but current form is a significant concern.

Comments

Has been well held at both recent runs, finishing eighth and beaten a long way behind Sunrise Roy last start after fading late. He was also tenth behind Dinner Rush the start prior, making no impression from the rear at big odds. There is some 820m substance in his record, including a win and three placings from eight track-and-distance starts, but his latest figures are modest.

Was a long way below her best when second last in C2 at this track last start, beaten over 19 lengths by Asaka Love Love after sitting behind the leaders. She had won a C3 here the run before, beating Pale Blue Dot by a neck as favourite, and she is a four-time winner at this track and distance. That older form gives her a case, but the rebound required is sizeable.

Has a strong overall profile, with ten wins and ten places from 30 starts, and his record at this track is excellent. The immediate form is less convincing, however, after a sixth beaten over 12 lengths behind Gateau when unwanted in betting, and a seventh behind Elizabethtown the run before. First try around 820m adds another layer, so he shapes more as a place hope than a win bet.

Arrives in winning form after taking out a C2 at this track by two and a half lengths from Komori Boulder, travelling strongly and finding plenty as the well-supported favourite. She had also won a C3 here by four lengths the start prior, so this campaign has real substance. Barrier 11 asks some work, but five wins from 11 at this track and distance and a strong rider record make her a major winning chance.

Kept on from a rearward spot when seventh behind Asaka Love Love at this track last start, beaten nine lengths at generous odds. The run prior was weaker, finishing eighth and beaten over 12 lengths behind Appuppu without coming into the race. Her track-and-distance record includes one win and five placings from 14 starts, so she has enough grounding to compete for a minor cheque.
