Sonoda Race 1 - Race 1 - 1400
ISSHIN (8) Came in 5th last time around here. Giving another go here. Has plenty of early speed. Up to these. WISPY SNOW (1) Came in 4th last start at this venue. Expecting improvement and drawn beautifully. Will be hitting the line strongly. Looks to be value. SUPER COOL (2) Came in 4th last run at this track. Is capable of a resurgence and will try to take advantage of the draw. Can go on with it. YAKUJIN MYO O (5) Lacklustre showing when 7th last run at the track. Might be ridden for luck. Winnable race.

Backed up her C3 win over this track and trip with a fair fourth in C2 grade, beaten just under four lengths by Nothing Better after being near the top of betting. That prior win came as an odds-on favourite, scoring by a length and a half from Satono Grand, and her three wins and eight placings from 27 starts at this track and distance give her the right platform to take beating.

Finished fourth at this track last start but was still beaten over 11 lengths by Win Solennel after settling rearward at long odds. The start prior was also plain when sixth and beaten over 15 lengths, so the winning case is limited. Even so, two wins at this track and distance and Kazuyuki Watase back aboard keep him in the mix for a minor cheque.

Finished well held when last over 1400m at this track last start and was long odds in the market, with no clear excuse to soften the result. Her previous sixth was also well beaten, and she has no placings from six starts at this track and distance. The 52kg helps, but she will have to produce a much cleaner performance to threaten the better chances.

Has been well below the required level of late, finishing second last at this track last start when beaten over 15 lengths after settling a long way back and failing to improve. The run prior was no better, beaten a long way after being unwanted in the market. She has won at this track and distance, but current form leaves her with plenty to find.

Recent C2 form is difficult to recommend, with a seventh last start behind Lord Stellato when beaten over 16 lengths following a fifth, beaten over 11 lengths, behind Street Queen. He does have three wins and ten placings from 42 starts at this track and distance, and Wataru Hirose is a positive booking, but he has to lift sharply on current figures.

Could only manage sixth at this track last start, beaten over 16 lengths by Lord Stellato when unwanted in the market. His Kasamatsu run prior was more competitive without threatening, finishing sixth and beaten nine and a half lengths by Wornitz. The past 12 months show seven placings from 15 starts, so he profiles as a place chance rather than a strong winning hope.

Was never competitive and beaten out of sight when last behind Lord Stellato at this track, and the start prior was another distant last after dropping out sharply in the straight. That is hard to overlook, even with a previous win at this track and distance and Toyokazu Tano having won on her before. A major form reversal is required.

Ran fifth behind Lord Stellato at this track last start but was beaten over 15 lengths, and his previous run was a well-beaten second last behind Sweet Sunrise. That recent form is below his best, though 11 career wins and three wins with six placings from 34 starts at this track and distance give him enough background to be considered for the multiples.

Comes off two sound fourths at this track, most recently beaten six lengths by Justin Gogh after being run down late at big odds. His previous fourth behind Kairashi was similar enough to show he is holding his form, and three wins and eight placings from 39 starts at this track and distance underline his suitability. With Yamamotoya Taizo having won on him before, he rates a clear danger.
