Sonoda Race 7 - Race 7 - 1870
TAGANO DIOSA (3) Got the prize when winning by 1 3/4L last time at this venue and have to respect the form at the distance. Ready to win. NAMURA BUNCHY (1) Left nothing to chance when winning by 2L last time around here and going over more ground. Expected to be flashing home. Drawn well. Will give a big sight. CRYSTAL PIT (5) Well beaten when 6th last run at this venue. Will be giving the leaders a big start. Should go close. EIFER CAP (2) Racing fresh after a break. Ordinary performance when 9th last run at this track but has a good draw. Has early speed and positions nicely. Solid place bet prospects.

Put the race away neatly in C2 company over 1230m at this track last start, tracking the speed and beating Bellagio Abroad by two lengths after being near the top of betting. The run prior was plain when fifth to Miracle Ace, beaten just over eight lengths, but he is now third-up and has a strong overall record. A return to 1870m is workable on his placing at the trip, and he profiles as a genuine place chance.

Returns from a four-month break after being beaten a long way behind Cresco Yusha in B1B2 grade at this track. He had also finished last to the same winner at his previous run, beaten over 14 lengths despite being near the top of betting. His track record is sound enough, but the recent race form before the break leaves him with a fair bit to find.

Made it two wins in a row at this track when powering over the top to beat Miya Griffon by just under two lengths in C1 company. That followed a dominant C2 win from Hernandez by three and a half lengths, so the form line is both current and progressive. With three wins and one placing from four attempts at this track and distance, plus a strong record with Tomohiro Sasada, she sets the standard again.

Worked into fourth behind Sunrise Nazca in C1 company over 1400m at this track last start, beaten six lengths after failing to quicken when the race sharpened. Two back she was sixth to Spriggan and beaten over 15 lengths, so the recent form is only fair. The useful angle is her three placings from six attempts at this track and distance, which keeps her in the minor-money discussion.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing sixth to High Love Legend in COND grade at this track, beaten over 13 lengths when settling rearward. Her previous run was better, winning in C1 company at this venue from Earth In Hammer at generous odds. The drop in grade and her win from her only previous start around 1870m are positives, but she remains more an each-way hope than a firm winning play.

Has been well held at her past two, finishing seventh to Zeus Silhouette over 1400m at this track after starting at long odds, then sixth to Kimino Heart in B2 company when unwanted in the market. She has won twice at this venue, but her only previous attempt around 1870m produced no placing. Current figures suggest she has to lift sharply.

Produced a much better run last start when second to Tagano Diosa in C1 grade at this track, beaten just under two lengths after leading and only being collared late. That was a solid response to a seventh behind Harienju, where she was in the right spot but offered little. She has placed at her only try at the distance and has a good record with Osamu Shimohara, so she remains a strong danger.
