Sonoda Race 9 - Race 9 - 1400
WIDE ORDEN (2) Nice run when 2nd last run at this track and has a positive alley. Tomohiro Sasada is a bonus. Has shown early pace in races to date. Well placed and has solid claims. NARITA ARMOR (5) Honest race when 2nd last time at the track. Should be swooping on the field late. Will be around the mark at odds. TAGANO HASU BINAH (10) Finished 6th last start at the track. Expected to rebound. Should be rolling forward early from the wide draw. Winnable race. SWEET SUNRISE (9) Won by 3/4L last run around here and proven performer at this distance in the past. Keeping a perfect win record the last 2 starts. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value .

Picked up well when fifth behind Lux Dream in a C2 at this track last start, beaten four lengths at generous odds, so the latest run had some merit without marking him as a major threat. The start prior was weaker when fading late over 1870m and beaten over 10 lengths. He has placed twice from three tries at this track and distance, but the winless profile still leaves him with plenty to find.

Continues to race with real consistency, finishing second to Taishin in a C2 at this track last start after being sent out an odds-on favourite. She was also third to Ai Towa the run prior and brings a strong three-win, nine-place record from 16 starts at this track and distance. The beaten-favourite tag is the reservation, but Tomohiro Sasada knows her well and she remains a key winning chance.

Finished off strongly from a seemingly hopeless position when second to Gateau at this track last start, beaten three lengths despite being unwanted in the market. He had produced a similar late-closing third the run prior, so the recent pattern is honest. Even so, his overall strike rate is modest and he looks more likely to run on into a minor role than force the issue late.

Showed enough third-up promise when placed behind Street Queen in a C2 at this track, although he was still beaten seven lengths after sitting near the top of an open market. The Niigata Mdn run prior was only fair when seventh and unable to finish it off. Weight relief helps and he has placed at his only try over the distance, so he can hold a spot without looking the strongest winner.

Made a much better fist of it when second to Trainee Verite in a C2 at this track last start, beaten two and a half lengths after being sent out an odds-on favourite. He had been safely held at Chukyo Dirt when eighth two runs back, but his 1400m record of three placings from five starts gives him a workable base. Still a maiden, though, so he profiles as a genuine place hope with some upside.

Placed at this track and distance when second to Habataku Jiyuni last start, but the seven-length margin as a very short odds-on favourite means the result was not as strong as the market expected. His Niigata Dirt seventh before that was plain over 1800m. Even with that reservation, the latest run gives him the right local base and he remains one of the better winning hopes in this line-up.

Was never in the picture when seventh behind Rugger Queen at this track last start, beaten over 12 lengths, and there was no obvious excuse in the run. The better reference is his previous second to Elizabethtown, where he was beaten just under a length at big odds. He has placed several times at this track and distance without winning, so a sharp form return is required.

Resumed with a heavy defeat when tenth behind Fukuno Fear None at this track, well beaten by 21 lengths after settling a long way back and failing to improve. His older record at this track and distance is excellent, with ten wins and nine places from 31 starts, but recent race evidence is well below that level. He has to rediscover a sizeable amount of his former form.

Arrives in winning form after tracking the leader and fighting on to beat Petals Dance in a C2 at this track last start, following a dominant ten-length C3 win over Wisteria Daddy. She has two wins and one placing from four starts at this track and distance, and her record with Kenta Sugiura is also strong. Fourth-up and thriving, she sets the standard and is the one they have to beat.

Resumed with a below-par sixth behind Rugger Queen at this track, beaten over 11 lengths after racing prominently and coming under pressure late. Her record at this track and distance is strong, with six wins and three places from 13 starts, and she was second in C1 grade at this venue in June. That back form keeps her in the place discussion, but the latest run must be left behind.
