Sonoda Race 9 - Race 9 - 1400
MO MO IMPACT (8) Finished 6th last time at this track. Expecting improvement here and suited at this distance historically. Expecting to settle positively. Very competitive this preparation and solid career start. Goes very close. MICROPHONE (2) Placed 3rd last run here and can find a nice position from the draw. Jockey Tomohiro Sasada and trainer Masashi Atarashi work well together. Solid career start. Must respect. KOJUN NIKO SHIN (9) Gave nothing else a chance when winning by 4L last time at this venue and putting a tidy record together. Jockey Tomohiro Yoshimura is a bonus. Respect in this event. TANOMUDE TSUYOSHI (3) Below par when 9th last start at this venue but good career start. Has been a model of consistency this preparation. Underrated.

Resumes after a three-month break having won her only start at this track, leading and kicking strongly to beat Wada Katsu by three lengths over 820m as favourite. She has not raced at around 1400m before, so the trip is the clear new element, but the debut authority and perfect record give her a genuine winning profile if she handles the extra ground.

Worked home evenly for third behind Bhadra at this track last start, beaten three and a half lengths at generous odds. His previous run was much sharper, winning by four lengths after heavy market support, and his three starts around 1400m have returned a win and two placings. Reliable profile makes him a sound place hope rather than the main winning threat.

Was well beaten when ninth behind Joy D'Or at this track last start, beaten over 14 lengths after failing to finish off from a fair position. He had won his start prior by just over a length in a small field and his overall record is respectable, but the latest run leaves him with a fair amount to repair before he can trouble the stronger chances.

Finished sixth behind Bhadra at this track last start, beaten seven and a half lengths and safely held as an outside chance in betting. The run prior was a decisive 1230m win as odds-on favourite, and she has placed twice from three attempts at this track and distance. That gives some minor hope, but she must lift from the latest effort.

Finished a distant last behind Bhadra at this track last start after settling rearward and offering little at long odds. She had won her start prior by three and a half lengths over 1230m, but her 1400m profile is poor, with four attempts at this track and distance producing no wins or placings. Others bring far stronger claims.

Ran fifth behind Joy D'Or at this track last start, beaten seven and a half lengths after failing to finish it off, but his previous second reads well after he was beaten only a neck by Mo Mo Impact. He is third-up, has placed at the distance and reunites with a rider who has a strong record on him. A repeat of that narrow defeat makes him a serious winning player.

Won on debut at this track over 820m, sitting just off the speed before beating Comet Tail by a length in a small field. She now tackles around 1400m for the first time, which is the obvious query, although the weight relief helps and the unbeaten profile gives her scope. Shapes as a genuine place chance if the extra ground is within range.

Was sixth behind Joy D'Or at this track last start, beaten seven and a half lengths after being run down late. The run prior was a narrow win over June Speak as odds-on favourite, and his record at this track and distance is strong with two wins and a placing from four. The recent miss is the concern, so he will have to find his best again.

Comes off a dominant 1230m win at this track, beating Hina Decollete by four lengths as favourite after looking far too good late. That followed a good second to Rock On D'Oro at big odds, so her form is heading the right way. Around 1400m is untried, but her consistency and third-up position give her a realistic chance to run into the placings.

Improved sharply at his second start, winning at this track by three and a half lengths as a short odds-on favourite after dashing clear. His debut third had come at big odds when he worked home only fairly behind Maru Thunder, so there was clear progress between runs. With two starts for a win and a placing, he has the profile to be competitive for a minor spot.

Finished last in an ALLOW at Kyoto last start, beaten over 20 lengths at big odds after settling handy and weakening badly. She had won over 820m at this track the run prior, beating Akaneno Sora by four lengths as odds-on favourite, and the class drop helps. Even so, her only 1400m run was unplaced and she must show far more stamina here.

Made a powerful debut statement at this track, winning by seven lengths over 1400m after putting a good gap on the field. He was a dominant favourite at a very short odds-on quote, so the market expected a strong performance and he delivered. Already proven at the track and distance, he has the clearest exposed winning form and deserves to be the horse they all have to beat.
