Sonoda Race 5 - Race 5 - 1230

OCTON HATCHI (5) First up and threw down a serious challenge first up last preparation here. Jockey Hiroto Yoshihara and trainer Ikkoo Tanaka make an imposing pair. Has early speed and positions nicely. Can give this a shake. HELTER SKELTER (2) Did well when 3rd last time at this venue and facing a rise in trip. Has a positive gate. Well placed and has solid claims. SIENA KING (10) Tidy effort when 3rd last start at the track. Goes very close. HIMARIN (7) In the money when 3rd last start at the track. Showing positive results this preparation. Likely to settle back in the field. Strong chance.

Finished fifth at this track last start in C3 company, beaten six lengths by Nori Wood Tail after starting at long odds and failing to quicken. The start prior was also a fifth here over 1700m, though he was beaten over 11 lengths. The 1230m is new territory, but four wins at this venue and a long, seasoned profile give him enough substance to be a genuine winning chance.

Put together two solid placings, most recently third at this track over 820m when beaten two lengths by Scene De Neige after travelling well to the turn. He had been beaten only a nose by Coeur Briller here before that, so the recent form is reliable. The win is still missing after 17 starts, but he is racing well enough to hold clear place claims.

Went very close at this track last start, finishing second and beaten a neck by Groove Groove after picking up well late. That was a clear lift from her prior fifth, when she was among the outsiders and beaten eight and a half lengths. She has a win at this track and distance, so the setup is familiar enough to make her a sound each-way hope.

Returns from a four-month break after ending his last campaign with a second-last in C2 company at this track, well beaten by 28 lengths behind Irwin at long odds. His previous run was also plain, fading out after having the chance. He has won at this venue, but his past 12 months read poorly and a sharp turnaround is required.

Returns from a five-month break after a mixed two-run campaign in C1 grade, finishing a close third to Success Break before a sixth behind Grand Mais when he settled handy and did not quicken. His eight-start career record is sound and he has placed at this distance. If he returns ready, his prior form gives him a strong hand.

Struggled to make ground when second last at this track in C3 company, beaten over 13 lengths by Quantum Gate after being unwanted in the market. She had also been safely held at big odds two back when tracking the speed but not quickening. A lone placing from 16 starts and an unplaced track record leave her with plenty to find.

Has been consistent without quite threatening, finishing third at this track at her past two starts and working home evenly on each occasion. Her track-and-distance record is respectable, with one win and six placings from 14 attempts, and she has placed five times from six rides with this jockey. Even so, she has to turn steady efforts into something sharper.

Worked into a better result last start when sixth at this track over 1400m, beaten just over three lengths by Wispy Snow after starting as an outside chance in the betting. The run prior over 820m was less effective, but he is proven at this track and distance and gets genuine weight relief. With that setup, he has the right profile to take this out.

Dropped out to finish second last at this track last start, beaten just over nine lengths by Wispy Snow after being unwanted in the market. The run prior was better on paper when fourth, but she was still at long odds and settled rearward. Weight relief helps slightly, though a maiden record and no placing at this track and distance are clear concerns.

Rebounded to finish third at this track last start, beaten two lengths by Fille Chan, but he did so as a well-supported favourite and did not quite deliver the result expected. His previous run was a plain ninth when near the top of betting. He has the overall record to hold a place hope, though the winning case is not as strong as the market suggested last time.

Ran a sound second at this track last start, beaten three and a half lengths by Earth Grazer after working home evenly at generous odds. Two back he was only battling from just off the pace, so the latest effort was the more encouraging reference. The return of a successful rider is a plus, and he profiles as a realistic place hope with some winning upside.

Finished fourth at this track last start, beaten six lengths by Aratama Oso at big odds, which was a fair effort without being a winning pointer. His prior fifth behind Sakura Top Cross was also at generous odds and he settled rearward. He has placed here before, but remains winless from 37 starts and must produce more than recent runs show.
