Sonoda Race 1 - Race 1 - 1400
SUBARASHII HIBI (1) Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last time at this venue and has drawn the rails. Expecting to settle positively. Can get the job done. KURINO BIKKURIBAGO (4) Was competitive when 3rd last time here. Been in the money frequently this campaign. Has the ability to figure. MEISHO MANGETSU (7) Average effort when 7th last time at the track. Has a great burst of speed late. Looks promising in this race. DELICATESSEN (8) Came in 4th last run at this venue. Can make a comeback. Goes close.

Worked home evenly for third in a C3 at this track two weeks ago, beaten two and a half lengths by Rhizanthella at generous odds. That was a clear return to competitiveness after he was beaten over 16 lengths by Bleu Vert at his previous run. His record at this track and distance is a major asset, and while he did beat Delicatessen last time, he still has to confirm the turnaround. Solid winning claims if he holds that level.

Placed at generous odds last start when third in a C3 at this track, though she was beaten six lengths by Tenku World and never seriously threatened the winner. The run prior was plain, finishing seventh and beaten eight and a half lengths by Coeur Briller. She has placed at this track and distance without winning, so the profile reads more as a minor-money chance than a strong winning case.

Finished sixth in a C3 at this track last start, beaten over 18 lengths by La La Ancestral at long odds, and the run through the line was only fair. He had also made no impression over 820m at this venue the start prior, finishing last and beaten over 14 lengths. Past track-and-distance form gives him some background, but current figures leave him with a significant task.

Arrives in the right form, having finished third in consecutive C3 runs at this track and beaten just under two lengths by Temps Tendre most recently. He let down nicely there after also being run down late when third behind Annabelle Diamante. His track-and-distance record is sound, and he has placed three times from four rides with Nambu Fuma. This looks a suitable chance to turn consistency into a win.

Recent form is only fair, with a seventh last start at this track when beaten just under eight lengths by Donald Poker after failing to quicken. She had been beaten just over seven lengths by Temps Tendre the run prior and was never in the picture. The return of a winning rider and her long track-and-distance record give her some minor appeal, but she must find sharper late effort.

Comes off a second-last finish over 820m at this track, beaten over 14 lengths by Scene De Neige at long odds after being close enough at the turn. The previous C3 run was also poor, beaten over 20 lengths by Bleu Vert. She steps back to 1400m with no wins or placings from seven tries around the trip, so a sharp lift is required to trouble these.

Back after two months on the sidelines and now second-up after finishing seventh in a C3 at this track, beaten four and a half lengths by A Shin Vicugna when near the top of an open market. Her previous run was a steady fifth behind Cho Hakutaka. Two wins at this track and distance keep her relevant, although she has not placed in seven runs this season. Capable of improving into the placings.

Loomed up before flattening out when fourth in a C3 at this track last start, beaten just under three lengths by Rhizanthella. That was a more competitive effort than his sixth behind High Love Henin the run prior. Subarashii Hibi had his measure in that latest meeting, but Delicatessen owns nine wins at this track and distance and the winning rider is back, so he stays firmly in the mix.

Beaten 24 lengths when eighth in a C3 at this track last start after giving away a big start and never getting involved. The run before was worse, finishing second last and beaten out of sight by Ingrid Rose at long odds. He remains a maiden after 103 starts and is unplaced from 40 attempts at this track and distance, which makes him hard to recommend.

Has finished fifth at her past two starts, but both came at long odds and she was beaten nine and a half lengths by Tenku World most recently after only a moderate final effort. She worked home evenly when beaten just over eight lengths by Wakino Aries before that. A handful of placings at this track and distance offer limited support, yet the maiden record remains a major obstacle.
