Sonoda Race 3 - Race 3 - 1700

MARUKA IGUAZU (4) Right up there last time around here and hard to fault at this distance. Should muster plenty of early toe. In fine form this campaign. Go close. ECORO COURAGE (2) Has multiple wins when resuming. Moderate showing when 9th last start around here. Happy to forgive that run and have to respect the form at the trip. No shock to see a win. TAIKI FORCE (1) Resuming after a spell. Ran well when 2nd last run at this venue and has the ideal draw. Toyokazu Tano has been successful previously. Up to these. VLAG (6) Ran 5th last time here. Capable of a strong comeback. Tomohiro Yoshimura is a strong choice aboard. Displays very good finishing speed. Winnable race.

Returns from a lengthy spell after finishing second in A1 company at this track, beaten five lengths by Okemaru when unwanted in the market and unable to quicken. He was fourth in A1 company the start prior, beaten seven lengths, so the recent margins are not compelling. The strong record with Toyokazu Tano and two wins at this track and distance are positives, but he has work to do first-up.

Returns from a three-month break after a plain ninth at this track and distance, beaten over 12 lengths by Omatsuri Otoko after settling rearward and making no impression. His Kochi second to Lyra Bond before that was more competitive, and the overall profile is far stronger than the latest run. Five wins and two placings from eight starts at this track and distance keep him in the wider discussion.

Comments

Was well beaten at big odds at this track last start, settling rearward and giving further ground in a weak run to the line. She had made up good ground when fourth in A1A2 company the run prior, but that was still a five-and-a-half-length defeat and the latest effort is hard to ignore. Weight relief is a plus, though she must turn her form around sharply to threaten.

Returns from a six-week let-up after going within a head of Omatsuri Otoko in a COND at this track, having started near the top of betting and been caught only on the post. He was favourite when third to the same winner two back, beaten a length and a half, so the recent form is both reliable and current. Three wins and three placings from six starts at this track and distance make him the clear horse to beat.

Has been safely held in two recent runs, finishing sixth at this track last start when beaten just under ten lengths by Campione after giving away a big start. The Mizusawa run prior was no better, with a second-last finish at long odds and a margin beyond 13 lengths. Four placings from 11 starts around this distance give him a minor platform, but he profiles as a place chance only if he lifts sharply.

Back after two months between runs, having resumed with a fifth at this track over 1400m when beaten eight lengths by Ecoro Gaia as an outside chance in betting. His previous run was stronger, finishing second to Maruka Iguazu in A1 company at this venue. Two wins and a placing from three starts at this track and distance point to improvement, though he still has ground to make up on the top pick.
