Sonoda Race 5 - Race 5 - 1700
A P POETESS (7) Good win by 1 1/4L last run here. On a winning streak the last 2 starts. Can go through the gears. Goes close. GRAND WORLD (1) Ran well when 3rd last start at this track and has the ideal draw. Should muster plenty of early speed. Ikkoo Tanaka stable are having a great run of late. Winning hope. SHINZEN HACHIMAN (10) Was agonizingly close last start around here. Shingo Ooyama takes the reins today. Has the early speed to burn across from the wide barrier. Can take this out. A SHIN PISSARRO (6) Unsatisfactory performance when 9th last start at the track. Displays good tactical speed. In strong racing shape since resuming from a spell. Has to be included.

Worked home evenly for third in a C2 over 1400m at this track last start, beaten just under five lengths after being near the top of betting. The start prior at Chukyo Dirt was far less convincing, when second last in a Mdn and beaten over 15 lengths after tracking the speed. Placed once from three tries around 1700m, so he profiles as a solid minor hope rather than a clear winning threat.

Has improved through the campaign, finishing fourth then third in two C2 runs at this track, both from rearward positions and both at big prices. Last start he was beaten three and a half lengths behind G T True, after an eye-catching effort behind Number Theory the run prior. The step back to 1700m is a fair query given two unplaced tries around this trip, but he is trending the right way for a placing.

Finished fifth behind A P Poetess in a C2 over 1870m at this track two weeks ago, beaten eight and a half lengths after only being fair through the line. That followed a fourth at this venue, again at big odds, when he did not quicken. Unplaced in all four starts overall and without a placing from two runs around 1700m, he has to find a sharper finish to threaten.

Finished fourth at this track last start but was beaten over 11 lengths at long odds, so the result reads only fairly despite making some late ground. He had also been fourth here the run prior, beaten five lengths behind Wonder Guarneri. His proven record at this venue and distance is the saving grace, with three wins and three places from 18, but recent margins leave him with ground to make up.

Settled rearward and finished fourth at this track last start, beaten seven and a half lengths behind Ascot Dance at generous odds. The previous Ohi run was weaker again, when ninth in a COND and beaten over 13 lengths after making no impression late. Unplaced in all nine starts and winless from seven runs around 1700m, she faces a demanding task on exposed form.

Led into this campaign with better overall statistics than his last two runs suggest, but recent form is hard to recommend. He finished ninth behind A P Poetess at this track two weeks ago, beaten over 17 lengths, after finding little when fifth behind Rugger Queen. This is his first try around 1700m and, despite a good track record, he must produce a major turnaround.

Arrives in excellent form after consecutive wins at this venue, most recently taking a C2 over 1870m by just over a length from Hernandez despite starting among the outsiders. The run prior was a dominant C3 win, scoring by three and a half lengths from Golden London. She is already a winner around this distance and her season record is strong, making her a genuine winning chance again.

Returned to the placings when third behind A P Poetess in a C2 over 1870m at this track, beaten just under five lengths after passing a few late. That was a clear lift on his Niigata effort, where he was beaten over 15 lengths at long odds. The issue is the long maiden record, with no wins from 21 starts, so he shapes as a minor-money hope rather than a win candidate.

Went within just under a length of breaking through at this track last start, finishing second in a C2 after being sent out favourite and only caught late. Her Nakayama Dirt run prior was plain, but the return to this venue produced the right response. The 1700m record is still unproven, yet that latest effort gives her the clearest current form line and she looks ready to win.

Was beaten a head as the well-supported favourite in a C2 over 1400m at this track two weeks ago, a sharp return to form after his fifth behind Water Le Seul when he loomed but did not go on. He has no placing from five tries around 1700m, which tempers confidence, but his record with Shingo Oyama is strong and the latest effort puts him right in the winning mix.

Finished seventh at this track last start, beaten over 11 lengths after a moderate final effort, and there was no clear excuse in the run. Her previous start was much better, when beaten a neck in a C2 at this venue after being near the top of betting. First try around 1700m brings some risk, but that close second keeps her in the place conversation if she rebounds.
