Sonoda Race 11 - Race 11 - 1230

KING SPICA (8) Tidy effort when 3rd last start at the track and proven performer at this trip in the past. Jockey Komaki Futoshi and trainer Ryouhei Hori link well together. Underrated. ENTELECHEIA (5) Was fighting out the finish when winning last start at this venue. On a winning streak the last 2 starts. Tomohiro Yoshimura rates highly aboard. Definite claims. BLUE HISASHIN (6) Strong performance to win by 1 1/4L last run at Tokyo City Keiba. Won last 2 on the bounce. Can win this. HALF BLUE (2) First up after 11 weeks and in the money when 2nd first up last preparation at Kawasaki. Expecting to settle positively. Jockey Norifumi Mikamoto adds value. Can go on with it.

Recent form leaves him with work to do, finishing fifth behind Entelecheia in an A1A2 at this track last start when beaten six and a half lengths at long odds. The start prior was weaker again, seventh to King Spica in an A1 and beaten over 12 lengths. His broader record around this trip is strong, but he has to rediscover much sharper form to trouble these.

Resumes after three months off, having ended last campaign ninth at Funabashi over 1000m when near the top of betting but tiring late after leading. She had won at Kawasaki the start prior, beating Freedom as a short odds-on favourite, and her overall record is sound. With four wins and two placings from nine starts around this trip, she can return in the minor money if forward enough.

Was favourite at this track last start and battled into third behind Ecoro Gaia over 1400m, beaten just under five lengths. That was a better result than his Saga sixth, where he was unwanted in the market and beaten over 15 lengths after tracking the speed. He has an excellent record with Seigo Tsukamoto, which keeps him in the place mix rather than as a leading win play.

Returns from a one-month freshening after a plain first-up seventh at Urawa, beaten over 12 lengths by Tagano Mist at big odds. He did win well at Urawa before that break in racing, scoring by three lengths from Alula when heavily backed, so the ability is there. This is his first try around 1230m and his latest run gives him plenty to turn around.

Comes off consecutive A1A2 wins at this track, most recently fighting hard to beat Immutable by half a length after starting near the top of betting. Two back he was dominant as odds-on favourite, putting five lengths on Oaken. He is two from two at this venue and has Tomohiro Yoshimura back aboard, so the current form line demands serious respect.

Returns from a five-week freshening as the form runner, having won an A2 at Ohi by just over a length from Dixie Gunner when a prohibitive odds-on favourite. He had also won over similar ground at Ohi the start prior, beating Hulm by a neck as favourite. The first look at this venue is new, but 11 wins and three placings from 14 starts around this trip make him the one they have to beat.

Has been beaten a long way at both recent starts, finishing second last behind Ecoro Gaia at this track over 1400m last time and beaten over 18 lengths at big odds. The prior run was also second last to King Spica in an A1, beaten over 12 lengths. His track-and-trip record is respectable, but current form gives him a difficult task.

Was narrowly denied at this track last start, finishing third behind Entelecheia in an A1A2 and beaten just over half a length as short odds-on favourite. That followed a strong A1 win over Silence Time, where he scored by a length and a half. His season record is excellent, and while the beaten-favourite tag is a query, he remains a genuine chance to bounce back.

Has held his form well at Kochi, finishing third to Thunder Zeus last start when beaten just over a length after sitting handy and fighting on. His previous third behind Lyra Bond was sound enough, and he has five wins from nine starts around this distance. The first run at this venue is the query, but his consistency and trip profile make him a strong winning hope.

Back after a four-month break, having finished second to Genius Lennon at this track when beaten three lengths at his final run before the spell. He had earlier closed off well for fifth behind King Spica, again at this venue, and his track-and-trip record shows two wins and seven placings from 15 starts. Resuming as a nine-year-old, he looks more a place hope at best.

Recent runs have been plain, with a seventh behind Entelecheia at this track last start when beaten just over nine lengths at big odds. He was also well held by the same winner two back, fading out after leading and beaten over 12 lengths. Five wins from eleven starts at this track and distance is a strong historical mark, but he must lift sharply on current form.

Comments

Returns from a six-week let-up after a solid second to King Spica in an A1 at this track, beaten a length and a half while well found in an open market. He won here the start prior by a head from Daijobanai and owns an excellent six wins and three placings from ten starts at this track and distance. The wide draw is the concern, but he has credible place claims.
