Sonoda Race 11 - Race 11 - 1870
MAMMEY APPLE (5) Backing up quickly for this race. Came in 5th last time at this venue. Is capable of a resurgence and going up in distance. Respect. POINT NEMO (8) First up and displayed good finishing speed when 2nd beaten by 3 1/2L first up last preparation at Kyoto. Has the speed to overcome the wide draw. Will be there at the finish. TEIKEI HOLOMUA (10) Was nothing special when 6th last run around here but stepping up in distance. Has the necessary speed to mitigate the wide draw. Has to be strongly considered. NISHINO ALMIGHT (4) Ran 4th last start at the track but returns to an increased distance. Has very good closing speed. One at a decent price.

Was second last in a C2 at this track last start, beaten over 15 lengths after settling just off the lead, so there was no hidden excuse in the run. His third to Smart Ideal the start prior was more competitive, but that also came at big odds and he was never a real threat. Has won at this venue, yet the first try around 1870m comes with clear risk and he will have to lift sharply.

Second-up after finishing 13th in an ALLOW at Kyoto Dirt, beaten over 11 lengths when settling rearward and making no late impression. She had been more respected two runs ago at Chukyo Dirt, but still finished seventh behind Anthisma. The 1870m record is sound enough and Tomohiro Yoshimura is a positive booking, so she can improve into a placing without looking a dominant winning threat.

Returns from a three-month break after ending last campaign with a 13th in an ALLOW at Chukyo Dirt, beaten over 12 lengths after coming under pressure late. His prior ninth at Kokura Dirt was also safely held, so the recent form reads ordinary. Even so, he has a win and a placing around 1870m and this looks a more suitable assignment if he can resume with greater purpose.

Made some late ground for fourth in a C2 at this track last start, beaten five and a half lengths at big odds. That was a better effort than his previous ninth when beaten a long way by Water Le Seul, but his record around 1870m is a concern, with nine attempts for no placings. The latest run gives him a small case, though others bring stronger profiles.

Backs up quickly after finishing fifth in a C2 at this track, beaten five and a half lengths after being prominent and then collared late. The start prior was a disappointing seventh when well found in betting, so the winning case is not clean. Still a maiden after 13 starts, but five placings show she can be competitive and a repeat of last week puts her in the place mix.

Returns from a five-week freshening after a plain first-up 14th at Hanshin Dirt, beaten over 18 lengths when unwanted in the market and weakening from the back. He does have a Kochi win by a neck in the broader record and has scored at this distance, but the latest run leaves him with plenty to repair before he can trouble the main chances.

Comes out of stronger A2 company after finishing last at this track, beaten just under ten lengths when conceding a huge start and never getting into the race. The prior Niigata Dirt run was also plain, but this is the right sort of class relief and he is race fit with the top last-12-months rating in this field. If he begins with them, he gets a strong chance to turn the form around.

Returns from a lengthy five-month spell after ending last campaign with a well-beaten tenth at Hanshin Dirt, where he settled prominently before coming under pressure. His previous second at Kyoto Dirt reads much better, especially as he was well-supported favourite and worked home evenly. One win and six places from eleven starts gives him a reliable profile and he can run very well fresh.

Returns from a one-month freshening after finishing sixth in an A2 at Kochi, beaten six and a half lengths at big odds and unable to finish it off. He was also safely held at this venue two back, but the key support is his proven record at the track and trip and a nine-win career base. The recent margins temper confidence, though he is capable of filling a placing.

Has been beaten over 20 lengths and over 12 lengths at his past two C2 runs at this track, the latest coming with no obvious excuse. His earlier record is better, with two wins from five starts at this venue and the winning rider back aboard, but 1870m is new territory. A return to his best would make him more competitive, but current form is hard to support.
