Sonoda Race 1 - Race 1 - 1400
SUBARASHII HIBI (5) Only fair when 7th last time at the track. Looking past the last run. Likely to be well placed early. Winning chance in what appears a suitable race. BIO SAPPHIRE (7) Finished 4th last time around here. Can make a comeback. Will be there at the finish. SMART QUEEN (9) Ran 6th last time here. May see an upturn in form. Has the necessary speed to mitigate the wide draw. Won't be far away. SUNRISE ATOM (2) Tidy run when 3rd last time around here and has a good draw. On an upward trajectory in recent races. Up to these.

Was never a winning hope when eighth behind Reine Galette in a C3 at this track last start, beaten eight and a half lengths at big odds. The start prior was weaker again when last over 1230m, beaten over 15 lengths after being unwanted in the market. She does own a win at this track and distance, but recent form says she is more a minor-place hope than a genuine winning force.

Put up the strongest recent piece of form in this field when third behind Reine Galette in a C3 at this track last start, beaten three lengths after starting at long odds. She had also finished fourth to Donald Poker the start prior, so her current form reads solidly for this grade. One win and ten places from 39 starts at this track and distance underlines her reliability, and she sets the standard to beat.

Reaches his third run back after finishing seventh behind Reine Galette at this track last start, beaten seven lengths when unwanted in the market. His previous sixth to Donald Poker was similar, in touch before only working home fairly. The positive is a proven record at this track and distance, and if third-up fitness brings improvement he can press for a placing.

Finished tenth behind Coeur Et Raijin over 820m at this track last start, beaten over 12 lengths after settling rearward and making no impression. The start prior was also plain when seventh to Rhizanthella, beaten nine and a half lengths at big odds. Weight relief is a small help and he has old 1400m form, but recent efforts leave him with plenty to find.

Was well beaten by 22 lengths behind Meisho Mangetsu at this track last start after settling just off the lead, so that run is hard to dress up. His previous third to Rhizanthella, beaten two and a half lengths at generous odds, was much better and his track-and-distance record is strong. He can improve, but the latest collapse makes him an each-way risk rather than a main hope.

Has been beaten over 18 lengths at each of his past two C3 runs at this track, most recently sixth behind Meisho Mangetsu after being in touch before dropping out. The start prior behind La La Ancestral was no stronger, and the market gave little encouragement both times. A past track-and-distance win is noted, but his current figures are not competitive enough.

Kept to the task when fourth behind Reine Galette in a C3 at this track last start, beaten five and a half lengths at big odds. She had run another fourth behind Allonsy Cafe the start prior, beaten three and a half lengths, so the recent form is consistent. Sunrise Atom had her measure two weeks ago, and her 1400m record is place-heavy, but she still rates as a strong winning hope in this line-up.

Returned with a last placing behind T O Nicholas over 1230m at this track, beaten over 16 lengths after settling rearward and never getting involved. The previous run was a heavy C2 defeat, and he has now been unplaced in all 14 starts in the past 12 months. Weight relief and a return to a winning distance offer context, but he must show a sharp form turnaround.

Held a handy spot but could not finish off when sixth behind Erika Bruges at this track last start, beaten just under eight lengths after being unwanted in the market. She had been closer when fifth to Temps Tendre the start prior, beaten four and a half lengths. Two wins and seven places from 29 starts at this track and distance keep her in the minor-money discussion.

Backs up after finishing tenth behind Hamburg Hammer at this track last start, beaten over 12 lengths after conceding a huge start and never entering the race. He had been second last behind Cassis Orange the start prior, beaten over 13 lengths at big odds. Three career wins show past ability, but the current form line leaves him well short of the main chances.
