Sonoda Race 8 - Race 8 - 1400

NORI WOOD TAIL (11) Good win by 1 3/4L last time at this venue. Jockey Osamu Shimohara has been successful aboard previously. Will be giving the leaders a big start. Up to these. YAMATO FAITH (9) Did well when 2nd last run around here. Been in the money 3 from 3 attempts this campaign. Winning hope. DAISHIN SANDY (4) Was competitive when 2nd last start at the track. Tomohiro Yoshimura is highly regarded. Has not missed the placings this campaign in 2 attempts. Capable of better. WAKINO ARIES (5) Did a good job when winning by 1L last start here. Komaki Futoshi and Mitsuaki Tamagaki have a high strike rate together. One to watch and an each way chance.

Comes off two plain C2 runs at this venue, finishing seventh behind Jun Odr last start when beaten just over nine lengths at long odds. He had been second last behind Even Par the run prior, beaten over 10 lengths after settling rearward and making no late impression. His 1400m record is thin and others bring far stronger recent evidence.

Returned to winning form at this venue last start, beating O Shin Angel in a C3 by just under a length after being considered only an outside chance in the betting. His previous sixth over 1700m was a clear miss, but the drop back to 1400m brought out a much better performance. Five wins at this track and distance give him a solid platform to threaten again.

Broke through at this venue last start, looming up and fighting hard to beat Taiikusuwari by a head in a C3 over 1400m. That was a clear step forward after finishing fourth behind Sakura Top Cross, beaten eight and a half lengths at big odds. The overall record is still modest, but a repeat of the latest effort puts her in the minor-money mix.

Returns from a two-month break after finishing second to Lingus Warrior at this venue, beaten two and a half lengths when sent out a dominant odds-on favourite. She had gone closer the run prior when second to I'M A Queen, beaten a neck after looming and fighting on. Third-up with a strong jockey association, she has the right profile for another placing.

Resumed with a decisive C3 win at this track, beating Vip Pure Ace by a length as a prohibitive odds-on favourite after tracking the speed. That result matches her sound recent profile, including one win and four placings from ten starts in the past 12 months. Proven at this track and distance and reunited with a successful rider, she rates a major danger.

Worked home evenly for third behind Sun Wing at this venue last start, beaten just over two lengths at generous odds. Before that she was fourth to Long Seller Ask, beaten four and a half lengths after only finishing off fairly. Her track-and-distance record gives her some base, but she has to find a sharper winning edge in this line-up.

Was safely held when fifth to Justin Gogh last start, beaten just over six lengths at big odds after settling rearward. His previous third behind Radiant Eye was stronger, beaten just over a length after tracking into the race and fighting on, though he was odds-on there. At nine, he remains capable of a minor result but must lift on the latest run.

Led and was run down late when sixth behind Sun Wing at this venue last start, beaten four and a half lengths at generous odds. The start prior was weaker, finishing fifth behind Bellagio Rao and beaten over 11 lengths without threatening. Her track-and-distance record is respectable, but recent finishing strength leaves her with only an outside chance.

Comes through consistent C2 form, finishing second to Sekisei last start when beaten a length and again near the top of betting. He was favourite two back when third to Daiboken, beaten two lengths after picking up well late. The strong record with Toyokazu Tano adds confidence, though he profiles more as a reliable place chance than a standout winner.

Comments

Returns from a six-week freshening after a heavy C2 defeat at this venue, finishing sixth behind Civic Charles and beaten over 17 lengths at big odds. She had won an 820m C3 beforehand, beating Petite Fleche by a head despite being unwanted in the market. Back at 1400m, where she is unplaced from five track-distance attempts, she has plenty to prove.

Comments

Resumed in the right style at this venue, leading throughout to beat Kakuhen by just under two lengths in a C3 on fast ground. That was a strong response after ending the previous campaign with a plain C2 eighth, and her 1400m record here is a major asset. With five wins and six placings from twelve starts for Osamu Shimohara, she sets the standard again.
