Sonoda Race 7 - Race 7 - 1400
ASK SUSTAINABLE (5) First up from a break of 9 weeks and was a comprehensive winner by 5L first up last preparation at this venue. Won't be far away during the run. Winning claims. PIKKU PRINSSI (10) Back after break. Underperformed when 8th last start at the track. Expecting improvement. Jockey Kenta Sugiura is very comfortable steering. Strong chance. WISTERIA DADDY (2) Finished 4th last run at this track. Looking past the last run and gets a favourable draw. Always seems to find the line well. Has to be included. MAMATOMO (7) Ran 4th last start here. Does take a while to get into stride. Won't be far away and represents an each way player.

Turned in a much better performance at this track last start, finishing second to Erika Bruges in a C3 after being big odds and only being run down late. The start prior was much flatter, fifth to Allonsy Cafe after being unwanted in the market and weak late. Barrier 1 helps him use his natural speed, and with proven track-and-trip form he looks one of the stronger winning hopes.

Worked home only fairly when fourth to Crucifer at this track last start, beaten seven and a half lengths after being near the top of betting. He had been third to Miko Castana at big odds the run prior, so the effort was not out of character, but he has not quite put a race away lately. Seven wins and 22 places from 72 starts at this track and distance keep him a sound place prospect.

Has put together consecutive seconds at this track, most recently behind Rhizanthella when beaten two and a half lengths after being near the top of betting. The run prior, she kept finding to run second to Ingrid Rose at long odds, which gives the current form a solid enough shape. Her overall strike rate remains modest, but she is racing consistently enough to be a genuine placing chance again.

Returns from a four-month break after being sent out an odds-on favourite and fading to sixth behind Smart Ideal in a C2 at this track. His Kokura Mdn run beforehand was also well held, finishing 11th to Vip Wolf over 2000m at big odds. The leading jockey-trainer profile adds interest, but he is still unplaced from eight starts and must return sharper to make a serious impact.

Returns from a three-month break after a plain sixth to Trance Run over 820m at this track, where he was unwanted in the market despite settling handy. He had finished well held behind Taishin the start prior, so the recent form reads poorly. His four wins and three places from twelve starts at this track and distance, plus three wins from six with Teppei Kotani, are the reasons for some caution.

Returns from a five-month break after a weak finish when second last to Wakamiya Ilios at this track, well beaten by 28 lengths at long odds. The start prior was also safely held, tenth to Champion Seira and beaten over 11 lengths. Three wins and three places from 23 starts at this track and distance are a positive, but current form leaves him with plenty to turn around.

Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing fourth to Sekisei at this track, beaten over 11 lengths but at least keeping to the task. The start prior in C2 grade was less effective, though she has won at a higher level and now gets meaningful weight relief. Her 1400m record is the query, with no placings from seven attempts, yet the set-up gives her the right chance to rebound strongly.

Has finished last at his past two starts, most recently behind Derma Saturn over 1700m at this track when unwanted in the market and beaten over 14 lengths. He was also last to Warera Hoshinoko the run prior after failing to come into the race. Returning to a distance where he has won is a small positive, but he has to lift a long way on current evidence.

Produced the eye-catcher last start when fourth to Smart Izanami at this track, beaten three and a half lengths after having plenty to do and finishing off well. The run prior was much weaker, sixth to Win Solennel and beaten over 11 lengths, so he still has to repeat the improvement. He remains a maiden after nine starts, but that latest effort puts him right among the better chances.

Returns from a four-month break after ending last campaign with two eighths in C2 company at this track, both by more than 11 lengths. He weakened badly behind Cosmo Capitao last time and had offered little behind Kurino Champ beforehand. His six wins and eleven places from 39 starts at this track and distance, along with Kenta Sugiura's strong record on him, give him some hope of improvement.
