Sonoda Race 11 - Race 11 - 1230
FLASH KELLY (5) Showed promise when winning by 2L last time here and strong performer at this trip. Has plenty of early speed. Up to these. HIGH LOVE SONG (1) Won by a huge margin of 5L last start here and proven performer at this trip in the past. Won't be far away during the run. Drawn the rails. Respect in this event. TORRE BRANCA (4) Finished 2nd last start around here. Has a nice turn of foot. Been in the placegetters each start this campaign. Looks to be value. ANNO DOMINI (11) Came in 2nd last time here. In good order since coming back from a spell. Good to see jockey Tomohiro Yoshimura is jumping on. Will be there at the finish.

Dominant winning form puts her right at the head of this. She led and extended for an effortless B1B2 win at this track last start, beating Anno Domini by five lengths after being near the top of betting. The seventh in B1 company before that was plain as favourite, but she bounced straight back and owns three wins and two placings from six starts at this track and distance. With the winning rider back, she sets a strong standard.

Recent form is a clear concern after finishing second last in a B1 at this track, beaten a long way behind Ecoro Weiss at big odds. The run prior was no better, as he was tailed off after settling miles back. The class drop is some help, but he is unplaced from five starts at this venue and has managed only one placing from 11 tries around this distance. Others make far stronger appeal.

Has the back record at this track and distance, but current form leaves him with plenty to find. He was second last behind High Love Song last start, well beaten after settling handy, and had also been beaten seven and a half lengths by Z Karen the run prior. His six wins with this jockey are noted, yet the recent margins and market profile make him difficult to support as a winning chance.

Went close when second in a B2 at this track last start, leading and only being run down late by Kohilo after starting a dominant odds-on favourite. That followed a sound third behind Anno Domini, so he has returned in consistent order and now reaches his third run this campaign. Two wins and four places from six starts at this track and distance keep him firmly in the place mix, with winning upside if he finds a touch more.

Resumed in good style with a C1 win at this track, sitting ready to pounce before putting Shana O away by two lengths as an odds-on favourite. The tougher B1B2 task is the natural test, but her three wins from four starts at this track and distance give her a genuine platform. With the winning rider retained and race fitness to come second-up, she has enough profile to press for a placing.

Dropped right out last start in a B1 at this track, finishing tenth and beaten over 19 lengths after fading late behind Ecoro Weiss. His previous run was much better when beaten a neck by Meisho Kaikon at long odds, so there is at least one recent performance to revisit. Even so, he remains winless at this venue and winless from three tries at the distance, leaving him with a sizeable task.

Finished fifth behind High Love Song last start, beaten just under ten lengths after failing to finish it off, and the market showed little interest. His prior sixth over 820m had some merit as he kept on from well back, and his long-term record at this track and distance is strong with nine wins and twelve placings. The recent form is short of winning level, but the conditions give him a place chance.

Has twice gone close over 1400m this campaign, most recently leading and being run down late by Win Aube when second, beaten just under a length. She was also beaten only half a length by the same winner the run prior, so the effort level is honest. This return to 1230m is not foreign, with three wins at the distance, but against this set of main chances she still has to find a stronger finishing edge.

Progressed sharply to win a B2 at this track last start, driving hard late to beat Torre Branca by half a length as an outside chance in betting. That was a much stronger result than her previous fifth, when she was only battling after sitting just off the pace. Three wins from five starts at this venue and two wins from five at the distance are solid markers, and weight relief helps her hold a strong winning hand.

Was safely held first-up at this track, finishing eighth in a B1 over 1400m after having the right run and offering little thereafter. Her previous official run at Kokura Dirt was also weak, finishing last at long odds behind Sunrise Kevin. The class drop offers some relief, but she is unplaced from her only start at both this venue and around the distance, so clear improvement is required.

Consistent profile keeps him high in calculations despite being beaten five lengths by High Love Song as an odds-on favourite last start. He worked home evenly there rather than quickening, but the start prior was a strong B2 win over Pazu, letting down nicely with something in reserve. Two wins and one place from three starts at this track and distance, plus a strong record with Tomohiro Yoshimura, make him a major threat again.
