Sonoda Race 5 - Race 5 - 1230
TEMPS TENDRE (11) Finished 4th last run at the track. Capable of bouncing back. Jockey Komaki Futoshi and trainer Takamasa Suwa must be respected together. Must respect in this event. WONDER COLORFUL (8) Mediocre display when 11th last run at this track. Genuine winning chance. ARC BLITZ (6) Finished 4th last run at this track. Capable of a strong comeback. Should race on the speed. Tomohiro Yoshimura rates highly aboard. Can get the job done. SCARLET HONEY (10) Came in 4th last start around here. May see an upturn in form and returns to an increased distance. Should be rolling forward early from the wide draw. Underrated.

Backs up after one week following a very plain effort at this track, finishing last behind Tagano Achillea when never competitive and beaten out of sight. The start prior was also modest, with a seventh behind Street Queen after being beaten over 13 lengths at long odds. She has not raced at around 1230m before and must make a sharp turnaround to be involved.

Returns from a lengthy spell with a fair amount to prove. A ¥30.8m yearling purchase, but his race form has not matched that profile, finishing second last at Kawasaki when beaten over 16 lengths by Le Pays De L'Or before the break. His earlier Nakayama Dirt run was weaker again, well beaten by 22 lengths in a Mdn. Class relief helps, but others bring sounder race evidence.

Finished fourth at this track last start, but the margin was still nine and a half lengths and she was unwanted in the market. Two weeks earlier she was safely held in sixth behind Win Solennel, beaten over 13 lengths. The positive is that she has won at this venue, yet three previous tries around 1230m have produced no placings, so this shapes more as a minor-money chance.

Third-up now, but there has been little encouragement in two runs this campaign. He was second last behind Mozu V most recently, beaten over 15 lengths after being gone soon after turning for home, and was tailed off behind Lux Dream at the start prior. Unplaced in all twelve career starts and winless at this distance, he has plenty to find.

Reaches the third run of the campaign after two well-beaten efforts at this track over 1400m. He failed to finish it off when seventh behind Margot Krug last start, beaten over 15 lengths, after a sixth behind Street Queen where the margin was again over 13 lengths. The race-fit angle helps, but he remains a maiden after seven starts and must show more late strength.

Improved sharply at this track last start, finishing fourth behind Blue Dia City and beaten just over three lengths in C2 grade. That was a stronger effort than her fifth behind Gateau first-up, when she gave little late after being near the top of an open market. She is still a maiden and sees 1230m for the first time, but the third-up profile and top-ranked track jockey give her the right platform to win.

Has the right credentials for this, with one win and one placing from eleven starts at this track and distance. She was fifth behind Chief In The Sky last start, beaten three lengths at big odds, and her previous fourth behind Namura Bunchy had merit when she picked up nicely in the straight. The winning rider is back aboard and her established 1230m record keeps her high in calculations.

Third-up and back to a trip where he has won at this track and distance, while Kanta Inoue has a good record aboard him. The recent form, however, is difficult to excuse: second last behind Alum Bay last start after offering little, and second last behind Isle Vita before that after conceding a huge start. His old figures say he can run better, but current form leaves him under pressure.

Made some late ground from well back when seventh over 820m at this track last start, beaten eight and a half lengths by Asaka Love Love, but she was never a winning threat. Her previous Niigata Dirt Mdn run was also plain, finishing ninth behind Mr Tonton and beaten over 14 lengths. With no placing in three goes around 1230m, she profiles as a cautious place hope at best.

Recent 820m form gives her a solid base for a placing, even if last start was a missed opportunity as short odds-on favourite when fourth behind Siena Hope, beaten two lengths. She had been second to Gray Rule the run prior after leading to the turn and being run down late. The rise to 1230m is supported by her broader distance record, and her consistency keeps her in the mix.

Closed strongly from a seemingly hopeless position when fourth behind Jericoacoara at this track last start, beaten just under two lengths in C2 grade. That followed a comfortable C3 win over Blessing Isle, when she worked into the race smoothly and put them away as a short odds-on favourite. With F Komaki back aboard and a good track record behind her, she is a serious winning chance again.

Stats
Comments
Has useful background for this trip, including two placings from five starts at this track and distance, but the recent form is well short of that level. She was in the right spot last start and offered little when eighth behind Nothing Better, beaten just under ten lengths, after being beaten a long way by Sunrise Roy. The track-and-distance record gives hope of improvement, not enough to make her a strong threat.
