Sonoda Race 10 - Race 10 - 1400
NUMBER THEORY (6) Placed 2nd last time at this track and proven performer at this distance in the past. Osamu Shimohara rates highly aboard. Definite winning chance. ELAN FEVRE (8) Finished 5th last time here. Happy to overlook that run and proven performer at this distance. Good to see Daichi Matsuki is jumping on. In fine form this campaign. Expect to go close. MATENRO TIME (10) Looked good when 2nd last time at this track. Jockey Komaki Futoshi and trainer Kazuya Sakamoto have enjoyed a lot of success together. Looking sharp on the track this campaign. Has to be strongly considered. MAKASENAHARE (9) Disappointing run when 4th last time at this venue and coming back in distance. Tomohiro Yoshimura is a strong choice aboard. Has to be included.

Has been safely held at her past two runs, most recently ninth in a C1 at this track when beaten nine and a half lengths after having every chance to show more. The start prior she was fifth, beaten over 10 lengths, so the recent form is plain. Four wins at this track and distance give her some base, but she has to lift sharply to trouble the main hopes.

Back from a five-month break after running third at this venue, beaten six and a half lengths, when he had plenty to do but kept finding to get into the money. He had been well held at his previous run, yet his record at around 1400m is sound and he has placed regularly with Kenta Sugiura aboard. Fitness fresh is the main consideration, but his best figures are good enough for a minor role.

Has finished last at both recent runs and was beaten over 17 lengths in a C1 at this track last start after giving away too much ground and never getting involved. The start prior at Morioka Dirt was no better, beaten over 14 lengths at big odds. His older track-and-trip form reads better, but the current profile leaves him hard to recommend.

Fought on well for third in a C1 at this track last start, beaten just over a length by Vomero, and that was a clear step forward on his seventh here the run prior. He has two wins and four placings from 13 starts at this track and distance, while Shingo Oyama has a strong record aboard him. Recent losses to Number Theory and Matenro Time are the mark to turn around, but he is close enough to take seriously.

Returns from a one-month let-up after finishing sixth in a C1 at this track, beaten over 10 lengths, when he conceded too much ground and was never a winning factor. He was tailed off at his previous run and the market has shown little confidence lately. A past track-and-distance win is a positive, but his current form makes this a steep task.

Comes through the right form line after finishing strongly for second in a C1 at this track, beaten a length by Vomero. The run prior he justified favouritism in C2 grade, beating Natsumikanchan by two lengths, and his record is excellent: three wins and four placings from seven starts. With three wins and one placing from four rides for Osamu Shimohara, he brings the most reliable winning profile.

Worked into fifth in a C1 at this track last start, beaten five and a half lengths, after settling rearward and starting unwanted in the market. Her previous seventh was closer on margin, beaten three and a half lengths, though she did not quicken. Two wins and eight placings from 24 starts at this track and distance keep her in the place mix, but she lacks the sharper winning form of the main chances.

Brings a strong overall record, with eleven wins and six placings from 24 starts, and his track-and-distance figures are excellent. Last start he finished fifth in a C1 at this track, beaten four lengths, after travelling close enough but failing to threaten. His third here two runs back was sound without being dominant. The proven 1400m profile keeps him firmly in the minor-money discussion.

Has finished fourth at both runs this campaign, most recently in a small-field C1 over 1700m at this track when beaten six and a half lengths. The start prior he was beaten eight lengths over 1870m after settling back. The return to 1400m suits and Tomohiro Yoshimura has a strong record with him, but he still has to find more late to threaten these.

Closed strongly for second in a C1 at this track last start, beaten a length by Ingre, although he was unable to convert as a well-supported favourite. His previous sixth was still only just under three lengths from Harienju, so the form has held together well enough. One win and three placings from five starts at this track and distance give him a solid base, and he looks a major winning chance again.
