Sonoda Race 2 - Race 2 - 1400
LAEVATEINN (5) Disappointing run when 9th last time at the track. Won't be far away during the run. Has to be strongly considered. SUNRISE PRIDE (6) Came in 8th last run at this track. Is capable of a resurgence. Osamu Shimohara is a plus. Good prospects. SIENA QUEEN (3) First up after a break. Just average when 9th last start around here. Shows good early pace. Among better hopes. PEMPENGUSA (7) Moderate showing when 10th last start around here. Worth consideration.

Finished last at this track a fortnight ago, well held behind Galant after being unwanted in the market, and there was no clear excuse in the run. Her second to Lambeau Leap the start prior was a better pointer, though she was still beaten five lengths. With no win from ten starts and only two placings from six tries around 1400m, she has to find a sharper finish to trouble these.

Has been safely held at her past two, finishing seventh behind Nori Wood Tail last start after offering little late, then second last behind Meisho Rise the run prior after weakening from a forward position. Both came at long odds and she is unplaced in four starts at this track and distance. Her older form is better, but recent evidence leaves her with plenty to prove.

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending last campaign with a ninth over 1230m at this track, beaten seven lengths when she failed to finish it off. The stronger reference is her prior C2 win as short odds-on favourite, beating Wonder Colorful by three and a half lengths after leading. She is proven at this track and distance, with six wins and eleven placings from 32 attempts, so she is a genuine place hope fresh.

Returns from a four-week let-up following a sound second at this track, beaten two and a half lengths by Meisho Ranzan after being near the top of an open market. His previous seventh was disappointing given betting respect, but his season profile is solid with two wins and three placings from seven starts. The rider combination reads well and he has enough current form to press hard for the win.

Returns from a five-week let-up after a costly first-up failure at this track, where he was last and well beaten by 22 lengths behind Cool Brave despite being near the top of betting. That run was too poor to overlook, but he did win a C2 here earlier in the year, beating Grun Wald by a length and a half. With three wins from eight overall, a rebound would put him in the minor-money discussion.

Has not fired in two runs this campaign, finishing eighth behind Wispy Snow last start and second last behind Yazan prior, but he now reaches the third-up stage with a strong suitability profile. His record at this track and distance stands at three wins and five placings from 17 starts, and he has won three times with this jockey. The recent form must improve, yet the setup gives him a realistic winning platform.

Was a distant last at this track when resuming, fading badly behind Miko Castana, and that effort is difficult to excuse. His previous fourth at Himeji in C2 grade, beaten two and a half lengths at big odds, reads much better, but it came in a prior campaign. He has a win and a placing from five at this track and distance, though the latest run demands a major turnaround.

Recent figures make tough reading, with a seventh behind Galant last start when beaten over 13 lengths and unwanted in the market. He was also seventh behind Cresco Taishi two back, beaten over 18 lengths after settling miles off them and making no impression. He has won at this track and distance before, but one win from 22 in that scenario leaves others with far stronger claims.

Turned in the right sort of improvement last start, finishing third at this track behind Wispy Snow and beaten two lengths after starting unwanted in the market. His previous fifth behind Cool Brave also had merit, as he kept working home from a long way back. A seasoned track-and-distance performer with three wins and 15 placings from 47 tries, he brings the most reliable recent case and looks the one to beat.

Returns from a lengthy spell after finishing seventh at this track in a COND, beaten over 12 lengths by Mont The Second when the final effort was only moderate. His earlier fifth behind Summer Park over 1230m was more competitive, beaten just over two lengths. With two placings from three at this track and distance and Tomohiro Yoshimura aboard, he can run into a placing if ready fresh.
