Sonoda Race 7 - Race 7 - 1230

MEISHO SHIMATO (7) First up from a break of 17 weeks and honest race when 2nd first up last preparation at this track. Tomohiro Yoshimura is a strong choice aboard. Should be saluting the judge. MILD PRIME (4) Fresh after a break. Ran 4th last run at this venue. Should bounce back. Serious player. ANKORO (5) Below expectations when 8th last start here. Very tidy this preparation winning 3 from 6 starts. Include in chances. OAKEN (6) Ran 4th last start at this track. Will be positive in the run early. Worth some thought.

Comes back to 1230m after a disappointing seventh in an A2 over 1400m at this track, where she was unwanted in the market and beaten just over nine lengths by Astraka after coming under pressure late. The run prior at Niigata was also plain, but she has two wins from four starts at this distance and now finds an A2B1 race. If the shorter trip sparks her, she has the profile to rebound sharply.

Comments

Returns from a four-month break after finishing tenth in an ALLOW at Chukyo Dirt, well beaten by 22 lengths at long odds after settling handy and dropping out. He had also been beaten over 13 lengths at Tokyo Dirt the start prior, so the recent form is difficult to support. The class drop is some help, but 1230m is new territory and he has plenty to turn around.

Backs up after one week following a sixth in a B1 over 1400m at this track, beaten over 11 lengths by Meisho Umegochi after being unable to make ground. He was fifth here the start prior, again well held and at long odds, so the current form line is modest. The return to 1230m offers some context, but one win and one placing from 19 starts leaves him up against it.

Returns from a five-month break after a sound fourth in A1A2 grade at this track, beaten just under four lengths by King Spica when leading and working home evenly. His previous Himeji run was much weaker, but the overall profile is respectable, with two wins and four places from ten starts at this track and distance. Fresh, he has enough substance for a minor role if ready.

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing second last in an A1A2 at this track, beaten just over nine lengths by Entelecheia when unwanted in betting and unable to come into the race. Her previous A2B1 win was much better, getting the better of Kikuno Le Meilleur in a tight finish. With eight wins from 22 starts, she is too honest to dismiss, but a place looks the safer view.

Returns from a five-week let-up in strong order, having finished fourth in A1A2 grade at this track when beaten three and a half lengths by Entelecheia despite being unwanted in the market. He had been second to the same winner the start prior and now drops back to A2B1 company. With one win and ten places from 25 starts at this track and distance, plus his proven record with Tatsuya Takemura, he sets the standard.

Returns from a four-month break after ending last campaign with a fifth in A2B1 at this track, beaten just over two lengths as an odds-on favourite behind Sail On Sailor. That was below market expectations, but his win here the start prior by two lengths showed his true level. With 21 wins from 41 starts and three wins from six around 1230m, he is a serious fresh player if ready.
