Sonoda Race 2 - Race 2 - 1400
DINO ENJU (5) Finished 5th last time at this track. Can make a comeback. Tomohiro Yoshimura is a key booking. Respect in this company. ALBATRON (8) Competitive effort when 2nd last run around here and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Has shown early pace in races to date. Good chance in this event. YAKUMO FLORA (3) Nice run when 3rd last time at the track. Expected to settle towards the rear. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. KATSU YOZAN (9) Subpar when 7th last time around here. Would like to see betting push before considering.

Was safely held again at Mombetsu last start, finishing tenth and beaten over 12 lengths after settling rearward and making no impression. The start prior was no better, second last and beaten over 14 lengths at big odds. She is race fit and drawn barrier 1, but 1400m is untried territory and she must lift sharply to threaten.

Finished a distant last at this track last start after fading late, and that came after a third in a small field when beaten over 11 lengths by Copano Jamaica. He has placed once from three starts at this track and distance, but was beaten by Albatron and Yakumo Flora a couple of weeks ago. The exposed form leaves him with plenty to find.

Worked home evenly for third at this track last start, beaten eight and a half lengths by Itoshino Fursa after starting an outside chance in the betting. She had earlier finished fifth here behind Mozu Heart when big odds, and her record of two placings from five starts at this track and distance gives the form a solid base. Weight relief strengthens her case and she looks ready to break through.

Dropped out of contention when sixth at this track last start, beaten over 17 lengths by Verita Legame after having his chance to improve. Two back he was eighth over 820m and beaten nine and a half lengths at big odds. With no placings from nine starts and no return from five goes around 1400m, he has to find a far stronger finish.

Started near the top of betting last start but could only manage fifth at this track, beaten over 12 lengths by Itoshino Fursa after tracking the speed. The run prior was also below market expectation when sixth behind Mozu Heart. Her one placing from three starts keeps her in the mix, and Tomohiro Yoshimura taking the ride is a genuine positive for place claims.

Was never a factor at this track last start, finishing last and beaten over 18 lengths by Verita Legame after conceding a big start. His debut fourth over 820m also reads poorly, with the margin described as beaten out of sight despite working home. Third-up fitness may help, but he has to produce something well beyond his first two runs.

Produced a better result when fourth at this track last start, beaten six and a half lengths by Verita Legame after settling rearward. That was a clearer effort than his previous sixth, when beaten over 13 lengths by Gamila's Buin. He is still unplaced from six starts and from three tries at this track and distance, but that latest run puts him in the minor-money conversation.

Ran second at this track last start, beaten eight lengths by Itoshino Fursa, and had Yakumo Flora behind him in that same race. He looked ready to challenge before tiring late, but his broader profile is strong for this field, with three placings from eight starts and two placings from four at this track and distance. He rates as a serious winning hope again.

Was disappointing at this track last start, finishing seventh and beaten over 15 lengths by Itoshino Fursa after settling prominently and coming under pressure late. His previous fourth behind Gamila's Buin was more competitive, especially as he was near the top of betting. The latest result tempers the winning view, but he can bounce into the placings if he finds that earlier level.
