Sonoda Race 5 - Race 5 - 1230
HINA DECOLLETE (2) Ran well when 2nd last start at this track and gets a favourable draw. Should jump out and bowl along. Exhibiting good form since returning from a break. Better hope. SMILE MINING (8) Was competitive when 2nd last run around here and facing a rise in trip. Won't be far away during the run. Good career start. Appears well in this. COMET TAIL (1) Nice run when 2nd last start at the track and having second career run. Has shown early pace in races to date. Drawn well. Racing over a longer distance. No shock to see a win. SNOW WIZARD (11) Came in 3rd last start around here. Jockey Komaki Futoshi and trainer Ryouhei Hori are a formidable team. Respect.

Placed on debut at this track over 820m, holding her position to the turn before being run down late by Scintillante and beaten a length as a short odds-on favourite. She is second-up now and drawn to use her natural speed from barrier 1, but the move to 1230m is new territory. With that first run under the belt, she still has enough upside to be a strong winning chance.

Has built a very reliable profile without yet breaking through, placing seven times from eight starts and five from five at this track and distance. She was second to Kojun Niko Shin last start, beaten four lengths after racing right there, and had been run down late as odds-on favourite the start prior. The light weight and proven trip keep her right among the main hopes.

Returns from a four-month break after finishing last and tailed off behind Yakumo Venus over 1400m at this track. His debut was no stronger, failing to finish over 820m in a small field when at generous odds. Unplaced in both starts and yet to race around 1230m, he has a substantial form gap to close against sharper rivals.

Back from a three-month break after finishing tenth at this track, beaten out of sight by Methode after settling handy and fading badly. Her previous third behind Ena South was better, albeit in a five-runner race and still beaten six and a half lengths. One placing from three attempts at this track and distance gives her a minor base, but she must rebound sharply to land a cheque.

Finished last at this track when resuming, beaten out of sight by Kojun Niko Shin after conceding a huge start and never getting into the race. The Mombetsu run prior was also plain, finishing seventh at long odds and making no late impression. Second-up fitness helps only so much, and her unplaced four-start record leaves her with a lot to overturn.

Was eighth at this track last start, beaten a long way behind Kojun Niko Shin after giving away a huge start and never threatening, and the market offered little support at big odds. The run prior had more merit when fourth to Princess Road, beaten just over four lengths after picking up nicely. Even so, he is unplaced from five and must find a much stronger finish.

Third-up now after a plain sixth at this track, beaten over 19 lengths by Kojun Niko Shin after giving away too much ground and never getting into the picture. His debut third over 820m was more encouraging, pressing forward and holding on for a placing behind Peridot. Race fitness is a small plus, but he has to rediscover that debut effort quickly.

Has placed in all three starts and went close last time over 820m at this track, sitting just off the lead before fighting on to be beaten just under a length by Ninen Tsuki Gumi. The previous third behind Mo Mo Impact was a distant one, but she at least worked home evenly. With race fitness and a consistent profile, she profiles as a genuine place hope with some winning chance.

Was never competitive at this track last start, finishing ninth behind Belle Deesse and beaten out of sight after being unwanted in the market. She had also been safely held when fifth to Cherry Squall the run prior, beaten over 12 lengths after failing to finish it off. Despite being race fit, her unplaced record keeps the winning case thin and she looks a minor hope at best.

Has put together consecutive seconds at this track, most recently chasing Belle Deesse home over 1400m and beaten five lengths after settling rearward. Two back he looked no chance before producing a big run to place behind Cherry Squall. The return to 1230m is a small question after one unplaced attempt at the trip, but his current form is the strongest in this field and he is the one to beat.

Worked into third behind Kojun Niko Shin last start at this track, beaten just under six lengths after having plenty to do in the run home. His debut fourth over 1400m was only fair, but he has been respected in betting at both starts and now reaches the third run of the campaign. With F Komaki aboard for a leading stable, he has a sound minor-placing profile.

Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing last in the G3 Sapporo Nisai Stakes at Sapporo, beaten out of sight and unwanted in the market. The start prior was also poor, finishing last in a Mdn at Sapporo and beaten over 19 lengths. The class drop is relevant and she tries 1230m for the first time, but recent figures leave her with plenty to prove.
