Sonoda Race 1 - Race 1 - 820
ASCENDIA (3) Came in 4th last start at this venue. Overlooking the last run. Ikkoo Tanaka stable are on a hot streak. Producing consistent results this campaign. Can measure up to this company. GRAND KIMBERLY (2) Ran well when 3rd last run at this venue and gets a favourable draw. Going well this campaign. Expected to be flashing home. Respect against this field. SHARK RYUSEI (8) Was competitive when 2nd last run at this track. Respect. M ZAK DREAM (7) Placed 3rd last start at this track but dropping back to a shorter trip. Should be going forward early. Respect in this event.

Led throughout to win a C3 at this track last start, fighting hard to beat Tamano Luna by just under a length after being near the top of betting. The start prior was much flatter when fifth in a C2C3 and beaten out of sight, so she has to hold the latest form. Barrier one, 52kg and a sound 820m record keep her in the mix as a genuine place hope.

Finished strongly for third in a C2 at this track last start, beaten just under two lengths by Yuna Monster after being near the top of betting. She had also placed over 1400m the start prior, though Wonder Bless beat her just over seven lengths there. Still a maiden after five starts, but the recent pattern is solid enough for another minor-money chance.

Worked into the race but did not finish it off when fourth in a C2 at this track last start, beaten just under three lengths by Bellagio Abroad. That followed a dominant C3 win over Eiraku, when she was a prohibitive odds-on favourite and scored by two and a half lengths. Proven at this track and distance, she is capable of bouncing back into the placings.

Has been well held in two recent C2 runs at this track, finishing second last both times and beaten over 11 lengths last start behind Asaka Love Love. She does have extensive 820m experience, including four wins and ten placings at around the trip, but the market has been giving her little support and the current form line leaves plenty to repair.

Was last of 12 in a C2 over 1400m at this track first-up, beaten a long way by Margot Krug after going around at long odds. The run prior at Tokyo was also a distant last in a Mdn, so there is little recent form to lean on. She has not raced at around 820m before and will have to lift markedly to trouble these second-up.

Finished ninth in a C2 at this track last start, beaten just over nine lengths by Asaka Love Love after sitting handy enough and failing to quicken. The start prior was worse, finishing last and beaten a long way behind Sunrise Roy. Her broader 820m record is not without merit, but recent efforts leave her chasing a sizeable turnaround.

Has built a very consistent profile, placing again last start when third over 1230m at this track and beaten a length and a half by Jericoacoara. She was also third behind Lambeau Leap two starts ago and has been respected in betting at both runs. The 820m record shows one placing from three tries, but her reliability gives her a strong winning platform.

Resumed with a solid second in a C2 at this track, beaten three and a half lengths by Asaka Love Love after holding his position and working home evenly. His record at this track and distance is a major positive, with one win and three placings from five attempts, and Takanori Nagai has won three races on him. Second-up, he sets a strong standard and looks the one to beat.

Settled rearward and could only finish seventh in a C2 at this track last start, beaten five lengths by Bellagio Abroad when unwanted in the market. She had made some late ground two starts ago but still finished eighth, beaten seven lengths behind Smash Hit. Two wins and six placings from 24 starts at this track and distance are positives, but recent form limits her appeal.

Was only fourth behind Asaka Love Love at this track last start, beaten just over five lengths after sitting close enough and failing to go on. His previous second behind the same winner reads better, and his one win and six placings from 14 starts at this track and distance give him a solid base. Beaten by Shark Ryusei last time, but still profiles as a key danger.

Went close at this track last start, leading and only being run down late when third in a C2, beaten just over a length by Bellagio Abroad. He had also placed behind Smash Hit the start prior, making it two straight thirds this campaign. One win and four placings from nine starts with Sota Hijikata adds support, though the wider draw keeps him in the place mix rather than on top.

Was ready to pounce but only fair to the line when sixth in a C2 at this track last start, beaten just over two lengths by Yuna Monster. His fourth behind Dinner Rush the run prior was also competitive without winning, and he has two wins from seven starts at this track and distance. The figures are not hopeless, but he must produce a sharper finish to threaten the main hopes.
