Sonoda Race 7 - Race 7 - 1400
KURINO ACHIEVER (6) Ran 8th last run at the track. Expecting improvement here. Toyokazu Tano is a plus. Should jump out and bowl along. Showing great form this campaign. Can measure up to this company. ECORO SERENA (9) Resuming after a spell. Didn't attack the line when 10th last start at Niigata. Expecting improvement. Jockey Komaki Futoshi and trainer Ryouhei Hori must be respected together. Has the ability to take this out. TAGANO ACHILLEA (2) Fresh today after a break of 50 weeks. Managed to place 3rd last run at Fukushima and was a debutant last start. Has plenty of early speed. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. INNER VOICE (1) First run back from a 42 week break. Edged past some when finishing 5th last run at Kyoto and gets the perfect draw. Change in trainer. Gets a chance to win.

Returns from a lengthy spell after closing last campaign with a fifth in a Mdn over 2000m at Kyoto, beaten three and a half lengths by Tagano Altura after having the job ahead. He had earlier finished third at Hanshin, again beaten three and a half lengths, and that gives him a sound enough base. The 1400m is new ground, but from barrier 1 he profiles as a genuine place hope if ready to go fresh.

Returns from a lengthy spell after a sound debut third in a NEWC over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt, beaten just under two lengths by Earth In Hammer after being run down late. He was near the top of an open market there, so the effort had merit as well as promise. The 1400m is new for him, but barrier 2 gives him every chance to use his natural speed and he looks a strong winning hope.

Finished last at this track over 1230m last start, beaten a long way by Chief In The Sky at long odds after settling miles back and failing to improve. Her previous run was also plain when second last, beaten over 16 lengths and unwanted in the market. Third-up fitness helps only a little, with the first try around 1400m requiring a far sharper performance.

Returns from a six-week freshening after finishing last at this venue, beaten a long way by Wonder Bless after fading late. That was a long way below her second to Macho Sasupo two starts ago, when beaten two and a half lengths and respected in an open market. Her six wins at this track and distance keep her in the conversation, but she has to rebound strongly.

Third-up now and the booking of Tomohiro Yoshimura is the clearest pointer to improvement after a plain seventh at this track, beaten over 13 lengths by Street Queen when unwanted in the market. She had been well back and never in the picture at Niigata before that, but the rating profile says she is better placed than those results read and she can improve sharply.

Proven at this track and distance and reunited with Toyokazu Tano, who has three wins and two placings from ten rides on him. His last-start eighth behind Maestro Light was below expectations after being near the top of betting, but his prior third as odds-on favourite was sound enough. With two wins and four placings from 20 track-and-trip runs, he has the right credentials to bounce back and win.

Resumed with a last placing at this track, beaten over 18 lengths by Cresco Taishi after fading late at big odds. Her run before the break was no better, finishing last in a COND and well beaten by 21 lengths after never getting into the race. She has placed once from five tries at this track and distance, but the current form makes her hard to recommend.

Settled rearward and was never in the picture when seventh at this track last start, beaten over 14 lengths by Shinshoku at big odds. The run prior was weaker again, finishing seventh and beaten over 20 lengths by Sunrise Roy. She does carry only 52kg and has a win on the broader record, but being unplaced in four track-and-distance starts is a clear concern.

Resumes after a three-month break following a tenth in a Mdn at Niigata Dirt, beaten just under ten lengths by Jorvik after failing to quicken. Her previous fourth at Hakodate Dirt was more encouraging, beaten just under five lengths after settling just off the lead and picking up well. She has yet to place at this distance, but her overall consistency gives her minor claims.

Back after two months off following a weak tenth at this track, beaten over 13 lengths by Jupiter Barows after settling rearward and giving ground late. His fourth to Io Sea One two starts ago was better, beaten just under four lengths when kept to the task. He has placed once from three tries at this track and distance, so a return to that earlier run would put him in the minor mix.
