Sonoda Race 12 - Race 12 - 1400

NARITA ARMOR (9) Bold effort to win by 2 1/2L last time at the track and getting better in recent performances. In top racing shape this campaign. Possesses good closing speed. Among better hopes. JOKER (12) Won by 2 1/2L last start at the track. Jockey Tomohiro Sasada and trainer Masashi Atarashi link well together. Has the ability to figure. LORD STELLATO (6) Shot away to win by 7L last time at the track. Has plenty of early speed. Tomohiro Yoshimura is a smart booking.

Comments

Returned with a determined C2 win at this track, edging Yamano Impact by a head on good ground despite starting at long odds. The concern is that his previous C1 run ended with him beaten over 12 lengths after weakening right out of it. Proven at this track and distance and has a sound record with Toyokazu Tano, so he has minor claims if holding that first-up lift.

Ran a much better race last start when third to Sunrise Nazca in C1, beaten two lengths at big odds. That was a clear lift on his seventh the start prior, where he was only fair through the line. The track-and-distance record is strong and Shuhei Kotani knows him well, but he still has to turn a long-priced placing into a genuine winning threat.

Comments

Had every chance close to the speed last start and battled away into sixth, beaten just over nine lengths by Rugger Queen in C1. His previous C2 win was much better, letting down quickly to beat Narita Armor by two and a half lengths at this track. That earlier performance keeps him in the place mix, but he must rebound from a plain latest effort.

Has been badly out of form, finishing last in B2 company at this track last start when tailed off and unwanted in the market. The start prior was no better over 1700m in B1B2 grade, where he gave ground in another weak finish. This is easier on paper, but recent margins are far too severe to recommend him with confidence.

Comes off a genuine C2C3 win at this track, holding off Rebecca Rainbow by just under a length after being near the top of betting. He had also gone close the start prior when beaten a neck by Radiant Eye, so the recent pattern is solid. Has placed twice from six at this track and distance, which makes him a realistic place chance again.

Dominated a C2 at this track last start, winning by seven lengths after being heavily supported into very short odds-on territory. The Sapporo Dirt third two runs back was also honest, working home evenly behind Hey Jude. With Tomohiro Yoshimura and Ikkoo Tanaka both strong at this venue, he has the right platform to take the next step.

Made the most of the switch to this track last start, winning a C2 over 1400m by just under a length from Happy Chance. That was a sharp turnaround from his Nakayama Dirt Mdn run, where he was beaten six and a half lengths at long odds after making no headway. Lightly raced and now proven at the trip, he can press for a placing.

Has been well held at both recent C1 runs, finishing sixth last start behind Justin Gogh after never looking a winning hope. She was fifth the start prior, beaten just over eight lengths, despite working home fairly from well back. The 52kg impost is some help and she has won at this track and distance, but current form leaves her short of the main chances.

Built perfectly into this with a strong C2 win at this track last start, beating Tagano Hasu Binah by two and a half lengths as an odds-on favourite. That followed a second to Trainee Verite, also when strongly fancied, and he now looks well seasoned fourth-up. With one win and three placings from six starts at 1400m, he brings the best winning profile.

Produced a better closing effort than the result suggests last start, finishing sixth to Giyu after having many lengths to make up, but he was still beaten just over seven lengths and unwanted in betting. His previous run over 1700m was weaker, finishing last in a small C1 field. Capable at 1400m historically, though recent form still leaves plenty to find.

Comments

Settled rearward and finished fifth behind Justin Gogh last start, beaten nine and a half lengths in C1 company. The start prior was another safely held effort over 1230m, where he was unwanted in the market and never a winning hope. One placing from nine at this track and distance underlines the task, so he looks a fringe player at best.

Resumed with a convincing C2 win at this track, picking up strongly to beat Ho O Laurentia by two and a half lengths as an odds-on favourite. He was only fair to the line at Chukyo Dirt before the break, but also holds a recent line through Narita Armor from that venue. Barrier 12 is the query, yet his 12-month consistency makes him a genuine danger.
