Sonoda Race 7 - Race 7 - 1400
PUFF OF WIND (1) First up after a break. Came in 2nd last run around here and has drawn the rails. Should be going forward early. Back to a shorter trip. Can win this. HO O LAURENTIA (8) Nice run when 2nd last time around here. Jockey Tomohiro Yoshimura is a bonus. Should be rolling forward early from the wide barrier. Goes close. PEKO RHYTHM (2) Tidy run when 3rd last start at this track and has a good draw. Komaki Futoshi and Ryouhei Hori rate highly together. Underrated. LA POUSSE D'OR (6) Ran 4th last run here. Is capable of a resurgence. Appears well in this.

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending last campaign with a C1 second at this track, where he loomed and fought on but was beaten four lengths by Deserve You. The start prior he won a C2 here from Golden London, and his 16 starts around 1400m for three wins and four placings give him a solid base. From barrier one he can use his natural speed and shape as a genuine top-four player fresh.

Loomed and fought on for third in a C2 over 1230m at this track last start, but as odds-on favourite she was entitled to get closer than just over two lengths from Chief In The Sky. Her Hanshin Dirt run prior was plain, beaten over 13 lengths in a Mdn. The rise to 1400m is some query given two unplaced attempts around the trip, though she remains a sound place hope in this company.

Recent figures make it difficult to build a strong case. He was ninth in a C1 at this track last start, beaten over 11 lengths by Giyu after conceding a big start, and had been last in a C1 here before that by over 18 lengths. Unplaced in all six starts at this track and distance and winless in the past 12 months, he will have to lift sharply.

Resumes after three months with form that reads better than the finishing positions alone. She was eighth at Chukyo in a Mdn, beaten six and a half lengths, after an earlier seventh there when she picked up nicely in the straight at long odds. The 53kg impost and new stable provide useful positives, and this looks a suitable C2 assignment for her to make her presence felt fresh.

Resumes after three months and looks well placed to improve in this C2. He was tenth at Chukyo over 2200m before the break, beaten just under ten lengths but still working home evenly, and his prior fifth over 2000m was a more competitive effort at big odds. The first attempt around 1400m is the question, yet his recent profile in deeper Mdn company gives him the strongest winning case here.

Worked home only fairly when fourth in a C2 at this track last start, beaten two and a half lengths by Revontuli, after a distant second to Ascot Dance the run prior. Her overall profile is more reliable for placings than wins, with no victories from 21 starts but eight placings. Honest enough to fill a minor spot, though the winning edge remains hard to find.

Has been safely held at her past two starts, finishing last in a C1 at this track last start when beaten over 11 lengths by Sunrise Nazca after going around at long odds. She had also been tenth, beaten over 15 lengths, the run prior. Three wins and three placings from 17 starts at this track and distance are noted, but current form is a clear concern.

Improved last start when second in a C2 at this track, beaten two and a half lengths by Joker after being near the top of betting. That was a better effort than her Nakayama Dirt seventh in a Mdn, where she was well positioned but offered little late. With the top-ranked track jockey aboard she has enough to be a genuine place hope, but a maiden record tempers the win claim.

Resumes after three months with a profile that can improve in this setting. He was ninth at Chukyo in a Mdn before the break, beaten five and a half lengths by Chuwa Melody, which was a better margin than his Hanshin Dirt ninth two runs back. His two previous tries around 1400m have produced no placing, but the US$250,000 yearling purchase finds a winnable C2 if he takes a step forward fresh.

Was only battling from just off the pace when sixth over 1230m at this track last start, beaten just over eight lengths by Mozu V and unwanted in the market. Her previous fifth was better, beaten just over two lengths when near the top of betting. Four placings from five track-and-distance runs keep her in minor calculations, but others bring stronger winning credentials.
