Sonoda Race 11 - Race 11 - 1230
VICTORY BRIDGE (1) Was dominant when winning by 6L last run at this track and have to respect the form at the distance. Likely to be well placed early. Could prove hard to beat. A SHIN REGARDS (2) First up after a break. Chimed in with a win by 1 3/4L last start here and has a positive draw. Should muster plenty of early speed. Should be in the finish. ANNO DOMINI (11) Landed the spoils when winning by 1 1/4L last start around here and proven performer at this trip. Putting up notable efforts this campaign. Definite claims. MAIDO OKINI (10) Ran 4th last time here. Likely to get back. Honest enough to be an each way player.

Comes in chasing five straight wins and was dominant first-up in a B2 at this track, putting six lengths on Mild Rydeen after being sent out a very short odds-on favourite. The start prior he also won here in C1 grade, beating Shana O by half a length after being heavily backed. With six wins and one placing from seven starts at this track and distance, he brings the strongest winning profile in the race.

Returns from a four-month break after winning a B2 at this track by just under two lengths, beating Elpizo as a heavily backed odds-on favourite. He had been beaten only a neck by J L Bitt at Morioka Dirt the run prior, so the form has real substance. Three wins from three starts at this track and distance and a strong record with Tomohiro Yoshimura make him a major threat fresh.

Has been well held in both recent 820m runs at this track, finishing second last behind Sun Uikyo after settling rearward and failing to make ground. Two back he was tenth behind Into The Flow, again at long odds and never able to improve. He has won at around this distance before, but current form and an unplaced record from six runs at this venue leave him with plenty to find.

Produced a better effort second at this track last start in B2 grade, though he was beaten six lengths by Victory Bridge and was never a real threat after being right there. The previous run over 820m was much weaker, finishing ninth and offering little at long odds. One win and two placings from eight starts around this trip give him place claims, but the winning gap still looks significant.

Comes through two heavy defeats this campaign, most recently finishing second last at this track over 1400m when unwanted in the market and beaten a long way by Meisho Umegochi. The start prior he was last behind High Love Song and never in the picture. Third-up fitness is a small positive, but he is unplaced from three attempts around this distance and must show far more.

Recent form is very hard to support after finishing last at this track over 1400m, beaten out of sight by Meisho Umegochi at long odds. He was also last over 1700m the run prior, never competitive behind Spriggan after being unwanted in the market. Four placings from 14 starts around this distance offer only limited encouragement, and others look much better placed.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing ninth first-up over 1400m at this track, beaten four lengths by Fangxin Lady at long odds. He was also eighth here in B1B2 company before the break and did not quicken behind Zendanno Hagemi. The return to 1230m helps, with one win and two placings from eight starts at this track and distance, so he can improve into a placing.

Has struggled at his last two starts, finishing second last at Urawa over 800m when beaten nine lengths by Arabian Rain despite making some late ground from well back. Before that he was tailed off at Funabashi after dropping out sharply in the straight. He has yet to place from four attempts at this distance, so the move to this venue and trip leaves him with a tough task.

Was fifth at this track last start in B1 company, beaten eight and a half lengths by Meisho Umegochi after failing to quicken. That was at least better than her 12th at Nakayama Dirt the run prior, where she was unwanted in betting and made no impression from well back. Third-up and back in trip are positives, but her distance record remains a concern against stronger winning profiles.

Has been honest enough without winning, finishing fourth behind Victory Bridge at this track last start when beaten seven lengths in B2 grade. Her better reference is the run prior, a third behind Z Karen in B1B2 company when beaten a length and a half and closer to the top of an open market. She has placed four times from 16 starts in the past 12 months, which points more to minor money than a win.

Arrives in winning form after scoring at this track in B1B2 grade, working home over the top to beat Kohilo by just over a length as favourite. He had been second behind High Love Song the start prior, so his recent pattern is reliable. Three wins and one placing from four starts at this track and distance is the key statistic, and that proven profile makes him the main danger to Victory Bridge.
