Sonoda Race 6 - Race 6 - 1230

IIKUNI PASSION (3) In the money when 2nd last time at this venue and showing improvement in recent outings. Won't be far away during the run. Tomohiro Yoshimura rates highly. Worth strong consideration. I'M A QUEEN (4) Came in 6th last run at this track. Happy to overlook that run. Running with confidence since resuming from a break. Good prospects. LONG SELLER ASK (1) Disappointing effort when 6th last run here but will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Very competitive this preparation. Can get the job done. VENICE QUEEN (2) Secured the win by a slim margin last time at this track and can find a nice position from the draw. Should come to hand quickly. Looks promising in this race.

Was plain when sixth in a C2 over 1400m at this track last start, beaten over 14 lengths after giving away a big start and never threatening at big odds. The start prior was much better, winning by just over a length from Re Go To at this venue. Her overall record is strong, but five unplaced runs around 1230m temper the confidence and leave her more a place hope than a winning push.

Comments

Comes in off a determined C2 win at this track, edging Nordia by a head after starting as an outside chance in the betting. That followed a sixth behind Timeless Love when beaten just under two lengths after making ground, so her form has more depth than the raw sequence suggests. With five wins and 20 placings around 1230m, she is reliable enough to press for another placing.

Fought on well for second in a C2 at this track last start, beaten a length by Alum Bay after being sent out an odds-on favourite. He had also been close at Mombetsu two back, third to Siamese and beaten just under a length. The missing win from twelve starts is the obvious knock, but seven placings and strong 1230m consistency keep him high among the winning hopes.

Was sixth behind Chief In The Sky at this track last start, beaten just over three lengths after being near the top of betting but unable to quicken. Her previous run was a wider defeat over 1400m, so the recent form has flattened after an earlier winning patch. The past 12 months read well overall, though she will have to sharpen late to turn that profile into a placing.

Settled rearward and never made serious headway when eighth behind Chief In The Sky at this track last start, beaten just over six lengths at long odds. She had offered more the start prior when fifth to Timeless Love, beaten a length and a half after picking up nicely. Proven at this track and distance, but the latest run leaves her with plenty to find.

Finished second last over 820m at this track last start, beaten seven and a half lengths after settling rearward and making no impression. The run prior was worse, tailed off in a C1 over 1400m at this venue after starting big odds. A light weight is some help, but her current form is too thin to build a serious case around.

Has finished last at her past two starts, most recently over 820m at this track when beaten eight lengths and unwanted in the market after settling well back. Two runs ago she was well beaten by 24 lengths behind Smart Ideal and offered little late. She steps back up to 1230m, where she has no wins or placings from nine tries, so others appeal far more.

Nearly caused a major upset when second to Chief In The Sky at this track last start, beaten just under a length after taking a slight advantage and fighting on strongly despite being unwanted in the market. The run prior was well below that level, but her 12-month record of three wins and four placings from twelve starts says she has the form to hold that improvement.

Was again safely held over 820m at this track last start, finishing ninth behind Bellagio Abroad and beaten seven lengths at long odds. The previous eighth behind Asaka Love Love was similar, making some ground from well back but never looking a threat. He has past wins at the trip, yet the current form pattern is too plain to support with confidence.

Dropped away late when seventh over 1400m at this track last start, beaten nine and a half lengths as big odds. The start prior was more encouraging, second to Number Theory over the same course and distance when beaten two lengths. She has not raced around 1230m before, and after that latest effort she must find more before being treated as a serious chance.

Finished strongly for second in a C2 over 1400m at this track last start, beaten just under a length by Justin Gogh after starting near the top of betting. That was a clear piece of local form, and his fourth at Niigata Dirt two back gives him another platform despite coming at big odds. The 1230m record is still light, but he brings the most convincing recent closing effort and looks the horse to beat.

Has been fourth at her past two runs at this track, most recently behind Justin Apollo when beaten seven and a half lengths after starting an outside chance in the betting. Her previous fourth behind Taishin was a steadier effort, beaten just under six lengths after being fair to the line. She has placed twice from five around 1230m, which keeps minor claims alive.
