Sonoda Race 2 - Race 2 - 1870
OKYOMPI (6) Finished 4th last run around here. May see an upturn in form and facing an increased distance. In good order this preparation. Worth an investment. A SHIN NIRVANA (2) Was nothing special when 7th last start here but has a good draw. Displays good tactical speed. Rising in distance. Can give this a shake. ECORO Z (5) Below standard effort when 7th last run here but stepping up in trip. Genuine threat. BAHIA BLANCA (4) Resuming after a spell. Couldn't stay in touch when 13th last time at Niigata. Jockey Osamu Shimohara and trainer Masashi Atarashi link up well. Chance.

Returns from a six-week freshening after finishing second last at this track, beaten a long way by Fukuno Fear None after giving away a big start and never getting involved. He had led into the lane at Chukyo Dirt two runs back before tiring as a big-odds Mdn chance. The inside draw helps, but five unplaced tries around 1870m leave him as a rougher hope only.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing seventh at this track, well beaten by Aloha Mau Loa when big odds and offering little late. Her previous fourth behind Rebecca Rainbow was more competitive, beaten just over four lengths, and she has already won at this venue. The first try around 1870m is the main query, so she profiles as a place hope if that run two back is repeated.

Worked home only fairly when sixth at this track last start, beaten eight and a half lengths by Kimiga Sukida after settling rearward. The start prior at Sapporo Dirt was plain, but he does bring two placings from eleven overall and has previously been placed around this distance range. With F Komaki aboard, he gets a rider upgrade strong enough to keep him high among the winning chances.

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending the last campaign with a 13th at Niigata Dirt, beaten over 19 lengths by Wild Mule after travelling close enough and then weakening out. She had been well found two runs back at Fukushima Dirt before finishing tenth, so there is some market respect in the background. A ¥24.2m yearling purchase with a kinder setup, she has the right profile to improve sharply first-up.

Resumed with a weak seventh at this track, beaten a long way by Prudencia after settling rearward and giving ground in the straight. His previous run at Fukushima was more respectable on paper, beaten just over five lengths at big odds over 2000m, and he is second-up now. Still, with no win from eight starts and no placing from two tries around 1870m, he must find more to threaten.

Held fourth at this track last start, beaten four and a half lengths by Coeur Fidele after settling rearward as one of the better-backed runners. His previous second to Even Par was stronger, beaten two lengths after finishing well, and his record at this venue reads two wins and one place from six. With a good jockey-horse record, he is a genuine top-three player again.

Finished a distant last at this track behind Akao last start after weakening right out of the race at big odds. That followed another last placing behind Rugger Queen, beaten a long way, so the recent form makes hard reading. She has one placing from five previous starts around 1870m, but a major form turnaround is required to trouble the better chances.
