Sonoda Race 10 - Race 10 - 1400
G T EIGHT (2) Managed to come out on top by the slightest of margins last time at this venue and will be well suited at the trip. Displays good tactical speed. Major chance. GO GO TSUYOSHI (10) Competed in a tight contest last start at this track. Jockey Komaki Futoshi has been successful previously. Likely to get back in the field. Expect to go close. A SHIN BILLBOARD (5) First up and blitzed its rivals when winning by 6L first up last preparation at Himeji. Ideal trip as proven previously. Can give this a shake. GRAND LEI HEART (7) Finished 7th last run here. Chance.

Finished last in B2 grade at this track last start, beaten over 20 lengths after having the task in front of her and making no headway. The run prior was also plain when fifth behind Kohilo, beaten over 14 lengths at long odds. Her old 1400m record reads well enough, but current form gives little encouragement and she has to lift sharply.

Resumed with a determined B2 win at this track, leading and beating Go Go Tsuyoshi by a nose while near the top of betting. He had been beaten just under two lengths behind Kawakita Hoku Lea before a break, so the first-up response was the right one. Five wins from seven starts at this track and distance is a major asset, and he rates a strong winning chance again.

Had little impact from the rear when ninth behind Regal Time last start, beaten over 18 lengths at big odds. Her previous sixth behind Pazu was more competitive, beaten four lengths, and the light weight gives her some help this time. The sticking point is the 1400m record, with no placings at the trip, so she looks more a place hope than a win threat.

Has been well beaten at her past two starts, finishing ninth behind Victory Bridge over 1230m before another ninth behind Sun Uikyo over 820m. She is better suited at 1400m, where her record includes two wins and three placings from seven starts, but the recent margins are too heavy to ignore. A much sharper finish is required.

Returns from a five-month break after ending last campaign with a seventh behind Sky No Haru, beaten over 10 lengths in COND grade. His overall record is far stronger than that, with four wins from twelve starts and three wins from six attempts around 1400m. First-up readiness is the question, but proven track-distance form gives him some chance of improvement.

Worked home evenly for sixth behind Regal Time last start, but was still beaten over 13 lengths at big odds. Two back he finished eighth behind G T Eight at this track, beaten five and a half lengths after being unwanted in the market. He has won over this sort of trip before, yet recent figures leave him with a sizeable gap to bridge.

Finished seventh behind Victory Bridge over 1230m last start, beaten over 13 lengths after failing to come into the race. The previous fourth in B1B2 company was better on paper, though still beaten just over eight lengths and unable to go on with it. She carries 3kg more than last start, and even with a suitable 1400m record, others look stronger.

Drops back from a B1B2 sixth over 1700m, where he was beaten over 10 lengths after offering little late. His fourth behind Kimino Heart two runs ago was more encouraging, beaten just over four lengths, and he returns to a winning distance with four wins at this track and trip. That profile keeps him in the minor-money mix.

Has put together the right recent platform, finishing second over 1230m before a close third in B2 grade at this track, beaten just over half a length by Fangxin Lady. That latest run came despite being unwanted in the market, which adds merit, and she also had Glorious Apoi behind her. With solid recent-season figures and the winning rider back aboard, she is the horse to beat.

Went within a nose of G T Eight in B2 grade last start, picking up well but just missing as a short odds-on favourite. That followed a narrow C1 win over this track and distance from Herz As, so her form is consistent and well tied to key rivals. The wide draw is the main complication, but her track-distance record makes her a genuine contender.

Improved sharply at this track last start, running fourth behind Fangxin Lady and beaten just under a length despite starting at long odds. That was a clear turnaround from her tenth behind Tamba Busho, when she was well back and made no headway. With five wins and eight placings from 24 starts at this track and distance, she has the right credentials to press hard.
