Sonoda Race 1 - Race 1 - 1400
EDIT FORCE (2) Masamichi Kashihara 3yo by Kitasan Black having first race appearance and can find a nice position from the draw. Jockey Wataru Hirose rates highly. Watch the betting. HAGINO MERVEILLEUX (10) Ran 5th last run here. Happy to overlook that run. Should be right in the finish. GOLD PREMIUM (1) Below standard effort when 7th last time around here but drawn the rails. Has shown early pace in races to date. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. T O MONT BLANC (3) Disappointing outing when 9th last time at this track. Gets back and needs luck. Use betting as a guide.

Gets weight relief and rates well against this field despite two recent sevenths in C3 grade at this track. He was beaten seven and a half lengths by Cannonball last start, but did make late ground from well back, which was stronger than the start prior when beaten over 12 lengths by Allonsy Cafe. Still a maiden after 29 starts, but his recent ratings give him a genuine winning platform here.

Makes his debut with enough supporting evidence to command respect. Wataru Hirose is one of the leading riders at this track, while Masamichi Kashihara has won with two of six recent debut runners and placed with three. The family has produced winners Karao Yabure and Wake Up People, so although he is unexposed under race pressure, the stable and pedigree pointers make him a serious chance.

Has the right background for this track and distance, with three wins and 12 placings from 77 previous starts around 1400m, and Shiotsu Rina has won on her before. The concern is current form: she was second last, beaten over 13 lengths by Forewind last start after making no impression, and was only seventh to Bloom Waltz prior. Place claims rest on a return to her better course form.

Has been safely held at consecutive C3 runs at this track, finishing sixth last start behind Cassis Orange and beaten just over nine lengths. The start prior was weaker again, beaten over 14 lengths by Bleu Vert after settling too far back and making no impression. With just one placing from 24 career starts, she has to find a much sharper finish to threaten.

Comes off two last-place finishes at this track, beaten over 12 lengths by Reine Galette last start after failing to make headway, and by a similar margin behind Rhizanthella the run prior. He has managed three placings from 15 starts at this track and distance, which offers some minor context, but the recent form says he must improve significantly.

Has struggled badly at his latest two C3 runs at this track, finishing eighth and beaten a long way by Cannonball last start after settling miles back. Before that he was last behind Aratama Oso, beaten over 16 lengths and unwanted in the market. Gold Premium had his measure last time, and his 33-start maiden record leaves him with plenty to turn around.

Third-up now and her best case is built around proven course-and-distance form, with two wins and seven places from 29 starts at this track and distance. Her two runs this campaign have been plain, finishing ninth over 820m then eighth behind Forewind after giving away a big start. She is unplaced in 12 starts this season, but this setup gives her a realistic minor hope.

Two recent fifths read better on paper than they do in margin terms, with last start ending in a defeat of over 17 lengths behind Meisho Mangetsu after weakening in the run home. She was also beaten nine and a half lengths by Tenku World the start prior. A 70-start maiden with only two placings from 47 starts at this track and distance looks tested again.

Returns to 1400m after two 820m runs, the latest an eighth to El Mirage when he travelled close enough but lacked the finish required. His previous ninth to Eiraku was only just over three lengths away, so there is a better effort in the mix. He has one win and three placings from 11 starts around this trip, although being unplaced in 13 runs at this track keeps him to place territory.

Lightly-raced filly with the most reliable recent form in the race. She was fifth to Rhizanthella last start, beaten just over three lengths after starting near the top of betting, and that followed a second to Bleu Vert when heavily backed into very short odds-on territory. Still a maiden after three runs and drawn wide, but she is fourth-up and brings the right recent figures to win.
