Sonoda Race 10 - Race 10 - 1230
HARIENJU (6) Honest race when 2nd last run at this venue. Has early speed and positions nicely. Very competitive this campaign. Can take this out. FLASH KELLY (7) Came in 6th last run at the track. Has the potential to improve sharply and suited at this trip in the past. Has plenty of early speed. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. LAST DUEL (9) In the money when 3rd last time at the track. Has the necessary speed to mitigate the wide draw. Producing consistent results since resuming from a break. Worth a ticket. TORRE BRANCA (2) Finished 4th last time at this venue. Capable of bouncing back and has a positive draw. Good to see Komaki Futoshi is jumping on. In top form this campaign. Can go on with it.

Settled rearward and finished eighth behind Go Go Tsuyoshi in a B2 at this track last start, beaten just over four lengths after starting at big odds. The start prior was much flatter, ninth behind Regal Time and beaten over 18 lengths. She carries only 52kg and draws barrier 1, but five unplaced runs around 1230m and no placing from six starts at this venue keep the winning case fairly thin.

Comes through a sound B1B2 fourth to Anno Domini, beaten just over two lengths at this track after being only fair late. That followed a close second to Kohilo as a prohibitive odds-on favourite, so the recent form is still solid rather than sparkling. The key strength is his record at this track and distance, where he has two wins and four places from seven starts, and F Komaki back aboard is a clear plus.

Was unwanted in the market when ninth behind Go Go Tsuyoshi at this track last start, beaten four and a half lengths after failing to finish the job. The run prior was much worse, seventh behind Victory Bridge and beaten over 13 lengths. She does get weight relief and her four wins and eight places from 34 starts at this track and distance give her some grounding, but she has to turn recent intent into a sharper finish.

Has offered little at her last two appearances, most recently eighth behind Victory Bridge in a B2 at this track and beaten over 13 lengths after being in touch early. Two back she was sixth behind High Love Song in B1B2 grade, beaten over 14 lengths, again at long odds. With no placing from six starts at this track and distance, she will have to lift sharply to trouble these.

Was never a factor when seventh behind Anno Domini in B1B2 grade at this track last start, beaten just under ten lengths at big odds. He had also finished second last behind High Love Song the run prior, beaten a long way. Three wins at this track and distance and a long-standing record with Yamamotoya Taizo are positives, but his current form leaves him with plenty to find.

Led and held on well for second behind Marble Halo in a B2 at this track last start, beaten two and a half lengths and again near the top of an open market. That came after a C1 win over Cosmo Capitao when favourite, continuing a very strong season. She has four wins from six starts at this venue and races as though she can control her own chance, so the 1230m record is the only real reservation.

Tracked the speed but was only sixth behind Anno Domini in B1B2 company last start, beaten just under five lengths after being kept safe in an open market. Her previous run was much stronger, beating Shana O by two lengths in C1 grade as an odds-on favourite. Third-up, with three wins from five starts at this track and distance and a strong Osamu Shimohara record, she has a genuine chance to rebound.

Worked home only moderately when fifth to Sun Uikyo over 820m in B1B2 grade at this track last start, beaten four and a half lengths. Before that she was fourth behind Kohilo, beaten three and a half lengths, and that form ties her in behind Torre Branca and Last Duel. One win from six starts at this track and distance gives her some base, but she has to find a stronger closing effort.

Returns from a six-week let-up after a strong third behind Kohilo at this track, beaten a length when near the top of betting. The seventh behind Olivia Sunrise two back was a plain beaten-favourite run, but he answered that with a much better performance. His record at this track and distance is reliable, and two wins with Takanori Nagai aboard add to a profile that makes him the one to beat.

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending the previous campaign with two heavy defeats away from this venue, including 13th behind Peregrine at Hanshin Dirt when beaten over 13 lengths at big odds. She was last at Chukyo Dirt before that, beaten over 17 lengths. Her two wins and three places from six starts at this track and distance are the saving grace, but race fitness and recent form are clear concerns.
