Sonoda Race 12 - Race 12 - 1230

HASTE (8) Sub-standard effort when 9th last time at the track. In good shape since coming back from a spell. Can win this. KNOCK SHRINE (3) Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last run at this track. One of the major players. SUNRISE ROY (1) Was rock solid when winning by a margin of 8L last start here and has the ideal gate. Tomohiro Yoshimura is a suitable booking. Appears well in this. ADMI (5) In the money when 3rd last time at this venue. Komaki Futoshi and Nobuharu Morimoto are consistently competitive when paired. Right in this.

Returns from a one-month let-up after leading throughout to win by eight lengths in a C2 at this track, beating Wonder Ange as a heavily supported odds-on chance. That was a sharp rebound from a Sapporo Dirt Mdn where he was second last and beaten over 10 lengths. Back at a venue where he is one from one, with Tomohiro Yoshimura staying aboard, he sets a strong winning standard.

Comments

Worked home from an impossible spot when fourth at this track last start, but was still beaten just over seven lengths by Isla Azul and unwanted in the market. He had been beaten over 13 lengths at this venue the run prior despite finding the right spot. Weight relief and his track-and-trip record help, but the recent margins leave him with plenty to find.

Comments

Ran well first-up when second in a C1 at this track, beaten a length and a half by Sun Linaria after being run down late. That followed a C2 win at this venue in May, when he led and beat Kirakirari by three and a half lengths as favourite. With one win and one placing from four tries at the trip, he has enough substance to hold a minor spot again.

Finished seventh over 1700m at this track last start, beaten eight and a half lengths at big odds after having the job ahead and making no ground. Her previous eighth was similar, beaten ten lengths after never looking likely. She has placed once from two starts around this trip, but her current form pattern makes a major lift essential.

Closed into third behind Sun Linaria in a C1 at this track last start, beaten four and a half lengths after working past weakening runners. She had been safely held over 1400m the run before, but her distance profile is a major plus with one win and six places from seven starts. With F Komaki back aboard, she has a genuine winning case if she finishes off more strongly.

Improved into third at this track last start, beaten just under three lengths by Eifer Idol, though he was at long odds and only worked home evenly. Two back he was sixth over 820m, never a chance after settling well back. His two wins and three placings from seven starts at this distance are respected, but he has to reproduce more than one solid run.

Was sixth at this track last start, beaten over 10 lengths by Isla Azul after conceding a huge start and never getting into the race. The start prior was no better, seventh and beaten over 13 lengths by Sun Linaria when unable to launch a challenge. She has won at this track and trip before, but current form makes her difficult to support.

Was poor late when last behind Sun Linaria at this track last start, beaten over 17 lengths with no obvious excuse. The run prior was much better, winning a C2 at this venue by a length over Techno Express as a well-supported favourite. His broader record is strong and weight relief helps, but he must put that latest failure behind him to land a place.

Settled rearward and finished seventh at this track last start, beaten over 11 lengths by Isla Azul at big odds. Two back she was second last behind Sun Linaria, beaten over 16 lengths after never getting into the picture. Her three wins and four places from 16 starts at this track and distance are a fair base, but recent C1 form leaves her looking place-only at best.

Won first-up at this track in a C2, charging home from a rearward position to beat Iikuni Passion by a length after being near the top of betting. His previous Niigata Mdn run was solid enough in context, beaten three and a half lengths from back in the field. Now one from one at both this track and distance, he looks a genuine danger with scope to build on that return.

Bounced back sharply at this track last start, winning a C1 by just under two lengths from Akkeshi despite starting at big odds. That came after a very poor 1400m effort when last and finished well held behind Sunrise Nazca. The latest win proves he can land a blow in this grade, but his overall record remains mixed and he profiles more as a place hope than a reliable follow-up.

Finished third at this track last start, beaten a length and a half by Ii Vision Star after being near the top of betting. Her previous fifth behind Smart Ideal was sound rather than threatening, but the key positive is her two wins and one placing from five starts at this track and distance. Despite that, this looks a tougher assignment than her recent C2C3 placing.
