Sonoda Race 10 - Race 10 - 1400

SMILE CLARK (11) Gave nothing else a chance when winning by 4L last time at this track. Going well this preparation. Has the early speed to burn across from the wide draw. Has the ability to figure. A SHIN ANIMO (10) First up today. Left nothing to chance when winning by 1L last run here. The wide draw shouldn't be a problem with plenty of early speed. Can win. KAPPAGI (1) Tidy effort when 3rd last time at Monbetsu and has drawn the rails. Coming to a new trainer. Tomohiro Yoshimura is a key booking. Strong chance. VUELA FUERTE (12) First up after 15 weeks and was fighting out the finish when winning by a nose first up last preparation at this track. Good prospects.

Comments

Held his ground for third in an A1 over 1200m at Mombetsu last start, beaten three lengths by Blitz Fang after being near the top of betting. The start prior had more merit, charging home from well back for fourth over 1000m at Mombetsu. The step to 1400m is the query after one unplaced try around this trip, but his career record keeps him in the place mix.

Returns from a five-week freshening after a flat ninth in a C1 at Funabashi, beaten over 14 lengths by Zen Soleil after failing to run on despite market respect. Her Kawasaki run prior was only fair, working home without threatening when seventh to Positivity. The kinder set-up helps, but she must turn around a plain recent pattern to land a minor cheque.

Finished last in a B1 at this track last start and was unwanted in the market, fading late behind Dia Graf. His start prior was little better when second last to Win Aube, beaten over 14 lengths after racing handy. Unplaced in all six starts at this track and distance, he has plenty to find on current form.

Comments

Has a solid old record around 1400m, including ten wins at the trip range, but her recent racing has been well below that level. She was beaten over 16 lengths behind Dia Graf last start after settling back and making no impact, following a long-margin last at this venue. The light weight helps, yet current form makes her hard to recommend.

Went very close in a B1 at this track last start, fighting hard after holding a slight advantage and going down by just under a length to Dia Graf at generous odds. He had led when fourth to Ecoro Weiss start prior, and his six wins and eleven places from 32 starts at this track and distance underline his reliability. From an on-pace role, he has the right profile to win this.

Was never in the picture when second last behind Smile Clark at this track last start, beaten 21 lengths at big odds. That followed a Saga run where he was last and beaten out of sight, so the recent evidence is very thin. He has also been unplaced at all four starts around 1400m, leaving him with a major form task.

Worked home evenly for third behind Smile Clark at this track last start, beaten just over four lengths after being near the top of betting. His win here start prior was stronger, coming from an unlikely position to beat Ambrosiana by two lengths. Proven at this track and distance and in good recent order, he rates a live winning danger.

Dropped out late when seventh over 1700m at this track last start, beaten over 17 lengths by Spriggan at big odds. His previous sixth behind Short Stop was more encouraging, making ground from well back to finish within four and a half lengths. Weight relief and the return to 1400m help, but a winless past 12 months is a clear concern.

Has been well beaten at his past two, most recently ninth in a B1B2 at this track when close enough before dropping out behind Anno Domini. The start prior was also plain behind Ecoro Weiss. The return to 1400m is a positive and he has placed twice from eight starts at this track and distance, so a place rebound is possible if he finds his older form.

Resumes after six months off having ended last campaign in excellent style, winning a B1 at this track by a length over Sunrise Guts after a six-length B2 win over Kichi Fighter. His record around 1400m is sharp, with three wins from four starts, and the winning rider is back aboard. Fitness is the natural watch first-up, but his best form is good enough to run well.

Put the race away decisively at this track last start, beating War Is Over by four lengths in B1 grade after looming up and kicking clear. That backed up a solid third to Win Aube, beaten just over a length, so his form is both current and consistent. With eight wins and eight places from 21 starts at this track and distance, he is a major winning chance again.

Resumes after four months off with a strong track-and-distance base, having won six and placed seven times from 18 attempts at this set-up. He was last seen catching the eye late for fourth behind Fairy Blue in A2 company, beaten two and a half lengths at generous odds. With a leading jockey-trainer profile attached, he can return as a realistic place hope.
