Sonoda Race 5 - Race 5 - 1230
BOTTOMLESS (7) Moderate showing when 9th last time around here. Should improve here. Will be positive in the run early. Toyokazu Tano and Tarou Nagashima are a combination worth noting. Sure to be thereabouts. ACCORDANCE (8) Ran 5th last time around here. May see an upturn in form. Kenta Sugiura takes the reins today. Will be competitive. SUCCESS CANON (10) Came in 6th last start around here. Should improve from the last run. Always seems to find the line well. Must respect. FROST CITY (3) Competitive effort when 3rd last time around here. Should muster plenty of early speed. Among the chances.

Led early in C2 company at this track last start but was swamped and finished seventh, beaten over 11 lengths, after being unwanted in the market. Her start prior was better when seventh and beaten just over two lengths, though she still lacked a finishing change. The drop to C3 and barrier one help, but an unplaced record at the trip keeps her more a place hope than a reliable win prospect.

Finished eighth over 820m at this track last start, beaten over 11 lengths after settling rearward and failing to make ground at big odds. She had also run last in C2 company the start prior. The return to a proven track-and-distance setup is some help, with four wins and six placings from 27 starts, and Teppei Kotani has won on her before, but current form says she must lift sharply.

Worked to the lead and battled on for third over 1400m in C3 grade at this track last start, beaten six lengths at big odds. That was a better return than his seventh two runs ago when well found in betting, and he now gets weight relief. The 1230m is untried, which is the query, but two wins and eleven placings at this venue give him enough substance to rate as a strong chance.

Back after five weeks and comes off a sixth over 1400m at this track, beaten five and a half lengths, where she kept working without ever looking a winning hope. The run prior was a heavy defeat over 1700m, beaten over 16 lengths. She has placed once from 12 starts at this track and distance, but the overall profile is modest and others bring stronger recent figures.

Finished a distant last in a COND over 1870m at this track last start after settling back and weakening right out of it. His previous fourth behind Lambeau Leap was more respectable when he made ground late, and he is a past track-and-distance winner. Even so, the latest defeat was too severe to ignore, so he has to produce a much sharper effort to get involved.

Comes through two C2 runs that were plain on paper, finishing seventh last start when beaten five and a half lengths at long odds after never threatening. She was also sixth the run prior, beaten just over seven lengths. The important point is the return to C3 company, where this lightly raced filly gets a softer assignment, and that class relief gives her a genuine chance to improve sharply.

Dropped out badly as a well-backed runner last start, finishing last in C3 grade and beaten over 18 lengths after being in the right position. His first-up second behind Smalt was much more encouraging, and he has placed twice from four starts at this track and distance. Third-up with weight relief, he can rebound, but that latest failure makes him difficult to declare as a win bet.

Kept working when fifth in C2 grade at this track last start, beaten just over two lengths at generous odds, and now finds a more suitable C3 race. Her tenth two back was plain, but the return to 1230m is important: she has three wins and four placings from 15 starts at this track and distance. With Kenta Sugiura back aboard, her proven setup makes her the horse to beat.

Beaten a long way in C2 company at this track last start after settling rearward, and she had made no impression over 820m the run prior. The class drop is a small positive, but the recent margins are too big and she is unplaced in all 19 starts at this distance. Her current form leaves her with a sizeable task against runners with more convincing claims.

Was only battling when sixth over 1400m at this track last start, beaten eight and a half lengths at long odds. The run before gives her some claim, having finished third in C3 grade when near the top of betting, and she comes down to 52kg with weight relief. Her record at this track and distance is not strong, but she has enough recent C3 form to be considered for the placings.

Gave away too much start and was never in the picture when seventh in C2 grade at this track last start, beaten seven and a half lengths at long odds. She had also been well held behind Alum Bay the run before. Dropping to C3 is helpful and she has won at this venue, but four unplaced runs at this track and distance underline the improvement required.
