Sonoda Race 1 - Race 1 - 1400
YUBAE (4) Finished 6th last start here. Capable of bouncing back. Should muster plenty of early speed. Winning hope. MEISHO MASAKARI (5) Resuming. Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last time at the track and displaying improvement over the past few runs. Will give a big sight. GOLD PREMIUM (9) Disappointing display when 7th last time at this track. Has the necessary speed to overcome the wide draw. Can be competitive. OUTSIDE BET (7) Lacklustre showing when 6th last run at this venue. Likely to get back in the run. Must come into consideration.

Has been well held at both recent runs, finishing last to Aratama Oso at this track and beaten over 16 lengths after going around at long odds. The start prior was no better, when second last behind Tatta Tara Rira and beaten over 15 lengths. With no wins from 32 starts and only two placings around this trip, he has to find a major turnaround.

Recent efforts make difficult reading, with a second-last finish to La La Ancestral at this track after giving very little in the run home. He was tailed off behind Ingrid Rose the start before, again unwanted in the market. Past wins at this venue are noted, but his current form is a long way below what is required.

Has produced two similar fifths at this track, beaten just over six lengths behind Tatta Tara Rira before finishing fifth to Aratama Oso when at long odds again. The winning strike rate is modest, but he has won at this track and distance and handles the 1400m well enough. That gives him a sound place profile rather than a dominant winning one.

Was sixth to Quantum Gate over 1230m last start after settling handy and failing to quicken, having earlier led and faded when beaten just under four lengths by Best Of King. She gets useful weight relief and her record at this track and distance, including a win and five placings, keeps her competitive. A repeat of her better recent run puts her in the minor-money mix.

Returns from a three-month break after ending his last campaign with a second to Simpatia at this track, beaten a length and a half after settling rearward. His previous third behind Vie Hommage also had merit, as he worked home into the frame at long odds. With four wins and ten placings from 48 starts at this track and distance, he brings the right credentials fresh.

Makes his debut with Tomohiro Yoshimura engaged, which is a clear positive given the rider's strong standing at this track. The stable has one win from four debut runners, while the trainer-sire combination reads well from a small profile. Full sibling Costa De La Luz has won three races, but race experience is missing and a measured first-up view is safest.

Was only fair late when sixth to Bloom Waltz at this track, beaten six and a half lengths as an outside chance in betting. The start prior was a fifth to Lac Puer after settling rearward, so the recent form is not sparkling. Even so, the winning rider returns and his one win and four placings from 19 at this track and distance give him a solid platform.

Comes through a fourth to Bleu Vert at this track when near the top of an open market, and that followed a third behind Kowamote Hammer where she worked home okay from generous odds. The lack of a win from 43 starts at this track and distance is the query, but 13 placings there show she repeatedly runs well in this scenario and she profiles as the one to beat.

Has been safely held at his past two, finishing seventh to Allonsy Cafe when beaten over 12 lengths at big odds after having too much ground to make up. He was second last to Sweet Sunrise before that and unwanted in the market. Three placings from 15 at this track and distance offer a small place hope, but the recent figures leave him with work to do.

Finished fifth to Fille Chan last start, beaten seven lengths after being unwanted in the market, and had earlier finished fifth behind Kowamote Hammer when only battling from just off the pace. She carries 52kg and has placed three times from eight starts with Kosuke Takahashi, but is still winless after 22 starts. A minor placing looks the more realistic target.
