Sonoda Race 6 - Race 6 - 1400
FEEL HAPPINESS (2) Finished 2nd last run at this venue and can find a nice position from the draw. Should jump out and bowl along. Jockey Tomohiro Yoshimura is in form. Has the ability to take this out. TENKU WORLD (5) Blitzed its rivals when winning by 3L last time here. Can go on with it. SMART IZANAMI (7) Strong performance to win by 3/4L last time at this venue and displaying improvement over the past few runs. Respect in this event. HAPPY CORPS (6) Threw down a serious challenge last time around here. Recent form of Masamichi Kashihara is strong. Worth a ticket.

Has struggled in two starts to date, most recently finishing seventh in a C2 at this track when beaten over 14 lengths and unwanted in the market. His debut at Chukyo Dirt was no better, finishing tenth in a Mdn after giving away a big start and never getting into the race. Third-up fitness is some help, but he must lift sharply to trouble these.

Returns second-up after a sound C2 second at this track, beaten two and a half lengths by Cresco Taishi after looming and fighting on. He had earlier run third behind Queen's Nova, so his form at this venue has been consistent. Two wins and four placings from ten starts at this track and distance read well, and Tomohiro Yoshimura's record on him strengthens the winning case.

Was second last in a C2 at this track last start, beaten over 17 lengths after being unwanted in the market, and there was no clear excuse supplied. Her previous fifth behind Sekisei was more competitive but still only fair late. She has won twice at this track and distance, yet recent form leaves her with plenty to find.

Resumes after eight months on the sidelines following a last placing at Kasamatsu, where he led into the lane before weakening and going to the line meekly. The run prior was a fair fourth behind Conti Afternoon, beaten a length and a half, but he has been unplaced in all six starts in the past 12 months. First look at this track adds another question.

Rebounded strongly last start, winning a C3 at this track by three lengths as an odds-on favourite and beating Cry Of The Earth with authority. The concern is the run prior, when sixth behind Meisho Ranzan and beaten over 14 lengths at big odds. His 1400m record is deep and he comes in race fit, so he belongs in the mix, though the profile is not risk-free.

Comes off the strongest recent run in the field, finishing second at this track and beaten a neck by Become King after being near the top of betting. That followed another second behind Win Solennel, so she is holding her form and looks ready to convert. The maiden record is the only caveat, but her current figures give her the right platform to win this.

Won a C3 at this track last start, scoring by just under a length over Sakura Gracieux as an odds-on favourite after working home over the top. She had also made good late ground when fourth behind Meisho Rise two runs back. Three wins and four placings from ten starts at this track and distance are compelling, and Kenta Sugiura knows her well.

Finished sixth at this track last start, beaten nine and a half lengths by Nori Wood Tail after giving away a big start and never threatening. His previous fifth behind Justin Gogh was also safely held from a market perspective. He has a long record at 1400m and some track-and-distance substance, but recent performances fall short of the main hopes.

Closed from an unlikely position to run third in a C2 at this track last start, beaten three lengths by Nothing Better at big odds. That followed a decisive C3 win over Pasadena Dream, also produced from well back, so her latest form has genuine merit. The overall strike rate is modest, but she is racing well enough to be a realistic placing chance.

Has been consistent without quite looking dominant, finishing second in a C2 at this track last start, beaten seven lengths by Win Solennel after tracking the speed and working home fairly. Her previous third behind Sweet Sunrise was sound enough, and one win plus three placings from six starts at this track and distance keeps her in the minor mix. The extra 3kg from last start is not ideal.
