Sonoda Race 7 - Race 7 - 1230
JERICOACOARA (3) Fought on gamely when winning last run at the track and strong form at the distance. Likely to be well placed early. Has plenty of claims. PEPTIDE AARON (1) Kept chasing when 4th last start at Hanshin and has minimal work to do from the draw. Will be hitting the line strongly. Down in distance. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. TIMELESS LOVE (5) Fairly underwhelming when 8th last time at this venue. Might take a while to wind up but should be hitting top gear in the straight. Among better hopes. ALLENATORE (6) Ran 6th last time at the track. Has shown early pace in races to date. Worth a ticket.

Resumes off a two-month freshening after finishing fourth in a Mdn over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt, beaten just over five lengths by Big Hero after starting near the top of betting. He had earlier picked up nicely when sixth, beaten just under four lengths, at the same venue. The return to 1230m is a query with only one unplaced try around the trip, but the class drop, barrier 1 and Tomohiro Yoshimura aboard give him a strong winning platform.

Back after five weeks since finishing last in a C1 over 1400m at this track, where she was at big odds and finished well held behind Pegasus Wind. The start prior was also poor, beaten over 16 lengths in C1 grade despite holding a handy position to the turn. A return to C2 and a prior win at this track and distance give her some base, but she has to lift sharply on recent evidence.

Scored narrowly in a C2 at this track last start, beating Smalt by a neck after being well found in the market and showing enough determination late. She had worked home evenly when eighth behind Timeless Love the run prior, beaten four and a half lengths, so there is a small mixed thread. Her record at this track and distance is excellent, and that reliability keeps her firmly in the placing mix.

Resumes from a three-month break after ending last campaign with a well-beaten 13th in a Mdn over 2000m at Sapporo, where she faded late and was unwanted in the market. Her previous sixth over 1500m was more respectable, though she did not quicken. A ¥22m purchase now has F Komaki aboard and remains lightly raced enough to improve, making her a live winning chance despite the plain exposed form.

Was plain when eighth in a C2 at this track last start, beaten over 12 lengths by Mozu V after settling rearward and making no impression. The counterpoint is her start-prior win at this venue, where she came from a seemingly hopeless position to beat Mammey Apple by half a length. With one win and two placings from seven starts at this track and distance, she is a rough each-way hope if she rebounds.

Led at this track last start before fading into sixth in a C2, beaten seven lengths, so the finishing effort has to be treated carefully. The run prior was much better when second to Chief In The Sky, beaten just under a length at long odds after fighting on strongly. She has three placings from nine starts around 1230m, and that makes her more of a minor-money chance than a confident win play.

Returns from a lengthy spell after a tenth in a Mdn at Kokura Dirt, beaten just under ten lengths by Something New when he failed to come into the race. His debut sixth at Hanshin Dirt came after leading, so there is some early education in the profile. A ¥33m yearling purchase now with a strong track trainer has scope, though the first try around 1230m makes him a place hope rather than a reliable win option.

Has been beaten over 14 lengths at each of her past two starts at this track, most recently fifth in B2 grade behind Alan after settling rearward at big odds. The start prior was no better when second last in C1 company behind Vomero. Dropping to C2 helps on paper, but she is unplaced in eight starts at this venue and must show far more to threaten.
