Sonoda Race 4 - Race 4 - 1230
JERICOACOARA (5) Ran 8th last run here. Can show a better performance this time and ideal distance as proven previously. Should come to hand quickly. Will give a big sight. SMALT (6) Was a comprehensive winner by 3 1/2L last start at the track and form has been improving over recent runs. Jockey Toyokazu Tano has been successful before. Can win this. TEMPS TENDRE (1) Showed promise when winning by 1 3/4L last run at the track and has drawn the rails. Jockey Komaki Futoshi and trainer Takamasa Suwa are an imposing duo. Needs some luck and is an each way suggestion. ACCORDANCE (3) Underperformed when 10th last start around here. One to watch and an each way chance.

Put the race away comfortably when winning a C3 over 1400m at this track last start, beating Blessing Isle by just under two lengths as a short odds-on favourite. The run prior was a fourth to Isshin, where she made good ground without threatening. F Komaki stays aboard and the form is sound, though her first try around 1230m leaves a genuine query for win purposes.

Finished sixth in a C2 over 820m at this track last start, beaten just over eight lengths after being unwanted in the market and with no obvious excuse. She had won a C3 over the same trip the run before at generous odds, driving late to beat Bliss Disha by a length. The rise to 1230m is another hurdle, with her only prior try at the distance producing no placing.

Was safely held when tenth in a C2 over 1400m at this track last start, beaten over 10 lengths after being close enough before dropping away. Her previous fourth to Lunar Phantom was more competitive, and she does have three wins and four placings from 14 starts at this track and distance. Recent form still leaves her with a fair bit to turn around.

Has been holding her form well, finishing third in a C2 over 1400m at this track last start after working home evenly behind Lambeau Leap. She was runner-up in C3 grade the run before when sent out a short odds-on favourite and only run down late. The 1230m record is the query, with no placings from five attempts, but her consistency and handy racing style make her the one to beat.

Back after one month on the sidelines, she returns third-up with strong track-and-distance credentials. Last start she was eighth in a C2 at this track, beaten four and a half lengths after only working home evenly, but that followed a dominant-favourite C3 win where she led and beat Nishino Wind by a length and a half. Her 1230m record keeps her in the place mix.

Delivered clearly as a well-supported favourite in C3 grade last start, winning by three and a half lengths from Bottomless at this track. He had also run second to Marina Sunrise first-up, keeping on well after having work to do. Six wins and 14 placings from 28 starts at this track and distance is a major asset, and that proven 1230m profile makes him a serious winning threat.

Bounced back to win a C3 at this track last start, beating Wakino Glass by just over a length after being near the top of betting. The start prior was a sixth to Eloim Essaim, where he was right there but could not finish it off. He has already won at this track and distance, though his overall 1230m record is only modest, so he shapes as a genuine place chance.

Finished tenth in a C2 over 820m at this track last start, beaten over 15 lengths at long odds after settling back and making no impression. Her previous seventh was also plain, with the market again showing little interest. One win and one placing from 44 starts overall is modest, and she remains unplaced from eight starts at this track and distance.

Produced a more encouraging fourth in a C2 over 820m at this track last start, beaten six lengths by Asaka Love Love after keeping to the task. Her previous run over 1400m was poor, but she had market respect at both starts and now gets in with a light weight. One win and two placings from five starts at this venue, plus a solid record with Shiotsu Rina, give her a strong winning case.

Comes back quickly after finishing last in a C2 over 1400m at this track, beaten over 16 lengths when near the top of betting and with a poor final effort. She had been much better the run before, fourth to Sekisei and beaten two and a half lengths. Weight relief and a return to a proven track-and-distance setup help, but the latest defeat is hard to overlook.
