Sonoda Race 10 - Race 10 - 1400
DIA GRAF (5) Ran 3rd last start at this track. Great to see jockey Tomohiro Yoshimura taking the ride. Good prospects. FANGXIN LADY (2) Narrowly clinched the victory last time here and drawn nicely. Tracking very well this preparation and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Appears well in this. AGNES SHU (3) Came in 4th last start at the track. Has shown early pace in races to date. One for the each way players. AMBROSIANA (7) Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last start at this venue and proven performer at this trip in the past. Wataru Hirose takes the reins today. Looks a great place bet.

Worked home fairly when fifth in a B1 at this track three weeks ago, beaten eight lengths by Ecoro Weiss after starting at generous odds. She had also finished fifth behind Short Stop the run prior, so the recent form is honest rather than threatening. Her track-and-distance record is much better than those margins suggest, and third-up fitness gives her a sound place chance if she can sharpen late.

Confirmed her good form by winning a B2 at this track last start, edging out Zagori by a head after being near the top of an open market. That followed a big-odds second to Pazu when beaten only a neck, so her last two runs have real substance. With five wins at around 1400m and a strong overall strike rate, she has the right profile to take this next step and looks the horse they have to beat.

Led and boxed on for fourth behind Ecoro Weiss in a B1 at this track last start, beaten just over seven lengths after being well found in an open market. His previous fourth behind Short Stop was closer, though he was only fair late there as well. Six wins at the track and distance keep him in the minor-money mix, but he has to produce a stronger finish to win this.

Finished sixth behind Win Aube in a B1 at this track last start, beaten just over four lengths after starting big odds and only holding his ground late. Two back he was never in the picture and finished seventh behind the same winner. He is unplaced in four starts at this track and distance, so a clear return to stronger form is required before he appeals.

Placed again when third behind Ecoro Weiss in a B1 at this track three weeks ago, though he was sent out favourite and was still beaten six and a half lengths. His previous second to Ray And Dance in A2B1 grade over 1870m reads well, beaten only half a length. He places regularly at this track and distance, and his consistency gives him a major winning chance despite that latest margin.

Has been safely held at his past two B1 runs at this track, finishing ninth behind Ecoro Weiss last start when beaten over 19 lengths and unwanted in the market. Two back he was second last behind Short Stop, again making no impression from well back. His past 12 months make grim reading, and he will have to lift sharply to trouble these.

Returns from a one-month let-up after resuming with a good second to Short Stop in a B1 at this track, beaten two lengths after letting down nicely. Her previous run was in A2B1 grade before a spell, where she was beaten just under two lengths over 1870m. She is three wins and one placing from four starts at this track and distance, and that profile makes her a strong danger.

Finished second last behind Win Aube in a B1 at this track last start, beaten over 14 lengths after settling handy and fading well out of contention. The start prior was worse, tailed off behind Meisho Kaikon after also racing handy. He remains unplaced in five attempts at this track and distance, leaving him with a sizeable improvement task.

Dropped out to finish last behind Ecoro Weiss in a B1 at this track three weeks ago, beaten a long way after getting well back and failing to improve. The run prior over 1870m was also a long-margin defeat behind Ray And Dance. Her older 1400m record is respectable, but current form is a major obstacle against this field.

Improved into second behind Ecoro Weiss in a B1 at this track last start, beaten four lengths after starting an outside chance in the betting. Before that he was fourth to Add One, beaten only a length and a half at long odds, so his latest pair stack up well enough for this. He has placed without winning often at this track and distance, which points more to each-way value than a dominant winning case.
