Sonoda Race 9 - Race 9 - 820
SUN UIKYO (1) Secured a close victory last run here and suited at this distance in the past. Displays good tactical speed. Stable is in form and will appreciate a good alley. Solid claims. FIORINO (4) Close to claiming the win last start here. Should jump out and bowl along. In fine form since returning from a break. Will give a big sight. GIFT BASKET (6) Came in 6th last time here. Should improve from the last run. Should come to hand quickly. No shock to see a win. SPINNAKER (3) Came in 5th last start around here. Expected to rebound. Contender in this event.

Returns from a five-week freshening after winning first-up in a B1B2 at this track, where he settled just off the lead and lifted late to beat Fiorino by a nose as favourite. He had been beaten just over two lengths by Ankoro at his previous run when odds-on, but his 820m record is excellent with three wins and one placing from five tries. From barrier 1, he has the right profile to take plenty of beating again.

Has been struggling for form, finishing seventh in a B2 over 1230m at this track last start when beaten over 20 lengths after fading late at long odds. The start prior was no better, finishing a distant last behind Tamba Busho. She has won once around 820m and gets some class relief, but recent figures leave her with a substantial task.

Started a well-supported favourite in a B1B2 at this track last start but could only manage fifth, beaten just under five lengths by Into The Flow after settling rearward. That was at least a better result than his well-held run behind Z Karen over 1230m two back. With a win and a placing from three tries at this track and distance, he can improve into the minor money.

Returns off a five-week let-up after going within a nose of Sun Uikyo in a B1B2 at this track, travelling well and working home evenly at generous odds. The run prior was a clear C1 win over Windsor Roar, and her record at this track and distance is outstanding with seven wins and eleven placings from 24 starts. With only 51kg, she brings the most reliable winning case.

Was second last in a B1B2 at this track when resuming, beaten nine and a half lengths after settling a long way back and making no impression. His final run of the previous campaign was a fifth over 1400m, beaten just over six lengths by Vuela Fuerte. The track placing record is some small consolation, but he has to find far more under race pressure.

Tracked the speed in a B1B2 at this track last start but finished sixth, beaten just over five lengths by Into The Flow, with no clear excuse in the run. Her previous effort was much stronger, winning a C1 at this venue by three and a half lengths from Aoi Alzard as favourite. With three wins and five placings from 14 starts around 820m, she stays in the place mix.

Recent form is only fair, with a seventh in B1B2 company at this track last start after sitting behind the leaders and fading, beaten just under six lengths. He was beaten over 12 lengths by Z Karen two back, so the trend is not compelling. Weight relief and a deep 820m record give him some hope, but he profiles as a place chance only if he lifts.

Has been safely held in two recent B2 runs at this track, finishing ninth behind Pazu last start when beaten over 13 lengths after starting at long odds. He was also beaten over 10 lengths by Anno Domini two back and offered little in the straight. The return to a track-and-distance set-up where he has won three times helps, but recent form keeps him to place claims.

Has been close enough in two recent B2 runs to rate strongly here, finishing fourth behind Kohilo last start, beaten three and a half lengths after being near the top of an open market. She had also been fourth behind Anno Domini the run prior after looming without quite finishing it off. With two wins at this track and distance, the setup gives her a real chance to break through.

Finished tenth in a B1B2 at this track last start, beaten just over nine lengths by Into The Flow after settling rearward and failing to make ground. His previous run at Ohi was also poor, finishing second last and beaten a long way behind Yuyu Starry. He is unplaced from three attempts around 820m, so improvement has to be significant.
