Sonoda Race 9 - Race 9 - 1400
ALAN (6) Close to a win last start at this track and strong performer at the distance. Tracking very well this campaign. Komaki Futoshi has a high strike rate on board. Looks a worthwhile investment today. PEGASUS WIND (5) Game effort to win narrowly last run around here. Unbeaten last 2 attempts. Should come to hand quickly. Recent form of Ikkoo Tanaka is strong. Warrants a bet. FALLA (10) Clearly outclassed when 10th last time at the track. Will be giving the leaders a big start. Chance. SPACE FORCE (2) Disappointing display when 6th last run at Tokyo City Keiba but drawn nicely. Coming to a new trainer. Use betting as best guide.

Has been safely held at her past two C1 runs at this track, finishing ninth behind Vomero last start when beaten over 12 lengths after settling rearward. The start prior was weaker again, second last to Myr and beaten over 17 lengths when unwanted in the market. The class drop and weight relief are positives, while her 1400m record is sound enough to keep her in the place discussion if she can lift.

Comes out of two C1 runs at Ohi where he was not disgraced without threatening, finishing sixth behind Ripening last start and fifth to Saikan Sanyu the run prior, both times at big odds. The class drop is the key change and he has enough depth in a 52-start career to be treated seriously. His limited 1400m record is the query, but this looks a more suitable assignment than recent tasks.

Recent form is hard to recommend after finishing second last in a B1B2 over 1700m at this track, beaten a long way behind Spriggan, and last over 1230m at this venue the run before. He was unwanted in the market both times and offered little late. The drop back into B2 and a proven 1400m record provide some support, but he must show far more spark to land a minor cheque.

Has been a long way from his best in two recent B2 runs at this track, finishing second last behind Victory Bridge over 1230m last start after conceding a huge start. Two back he was last to Pazu, beaten by 30 lengths after sitting handy and weakening right out. The return to 1400m suits on past figures, but his current form leaves a significant turnaround required.

Arrives in peak form after consecutive wins at this track, most recently picking up sharply to beat Alan by a neck in C1 over 1400m after being heavily supported into very short odds-on territory. She had won easily the start before, putting five lengths on Attirant in C2 grade. Two wins from two at this venue, this distance and with Wataru Hirose make her the runner they all have to beat.

Went within a neck of Pegasus Wind at this track last start in C1, having been near the top of betting and only pipped at the post. That followed a third over 1700m when favourite, where he made late ground into the money despite being beaten over 11 lengths. His track-and-distance record is outstanding, with five wins and one placing from six, so he remains a major threat.

Has struggled to get competitive this campaign, finishing second last behind Vomero last start when beaten over 14 lengths after fading late. The run prior was no better, last behind Myr and well beaten after again weakening out of it. A class drop is some help, but she is unplaced from 20 starts in the past 12 months and others bring far stronger claims.

Was poor first-up at this track, finishing second last behind Regal Time in B2 company and beaten over 20 lengths after racing prominently before coming under pressure late. Her previous run was much better, a C1 win over L'Immensite at this venue when she fought on to score by a head despite being unwanted in the market. Proven track-and-distance form keeps her in the place mix second-up.

Has not been finishing his races off, with an eighth behind Regal Time last start at this track when beaten over 16 lengths after conceding a huge start. He was last over 1700m the run before, again unwanted in the market and failing to improve from a long way back. His overall record has some depth, but current form and a poor track-and-distance return make this a stern test.

Recent B2 form has been well short of the mark, finishing tenth behind Victory Bridge over 1230m last start when beaten over 16 lengths after never looking likely. The start prior was another heavy defeat behind Pazu, when second last and well beaten after fading late. He has winning form around 1400m, but the market has shown little faith lately and he has plenty to prove.
