Sonoda Race 11

1400

Prize Money: $118,138

BHADRA (9) brings the strongest recent piece of form after putting seven lengths on Mo Mo Shine at Sonoda as a dominant favourite, and her record of two wins and one placing from three starts gives her the clearest winning profile. PERIDOT (6) is the main danger off a four-length debut win over 820m here, with the jump to 1400m the obvious test but the quality of that first performance hard to ignore. GOD'S FAVORITE (4) has done little wrong, winning two back and then finishing second by just over a length, so she appeals as the most reliable threat if the top pair leave a gap. ANGEL RING (8) must rebound from a plain Nagoya seventh, but her prior win keeps her in the mix for those looking beyond the two sharper Sonoda last-start winners.

Comments

Debuted with a second at Sonoda, beaten five lengths by Maru Thunder on good ground after working home evenly at big odds. That placing gives her something to build on second-up, and barrier 1 should help her race handier, but she rises from 51kg to 55kg and still has to bridge a fair gap on stronger exposed profiles. A minor-money finish is the realistic aim.

Comments

Placed in all three starts at Sonoda but remains a maiden, most recently second over 820m when beaten four lengths by Le Jouet after travelling well and being run down late. She had been odds-on when third to Eagle Logo the run prior, so the market has expected more. The jump from 820m to 1400m is the main concern, and she needs to turn consistency into something sharper.

Comments

Has been well held in two recent Sonoda runs, finishing a distant last behind Mo Mo Impact last start after coming under pressure late. The start prior was no better, beaten a long way behind Charming Night after being unwanted in the market. Even with a class drop in the mix, her unplaced record at this track and distance leaves a clear improvement task.

Comments

Worked home well when second at Sonoda last start, beaten just over a length by Tanomude Tsuyoshi in a small field after being near the top of betting. The start prior was stronger, when she beat Soul And Soul by two and a half lengths as a short odds-on favourite. Two wins and a placing from three starts reads well, but she profiles as a solid place hope rather than a clear top pick here.

Comments

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing third over 1230m at Sonoda, beaten just over two lengths by Methode when well found in betting. She had also run second to Copano Edo Series before that, but both recent efforts were even rather than decisive. Four placings from four starts commands respect, yet the absence of a win and the rise in trip keep her short of the main chances.

Comments

Made the right first impression at Sonoda, winning over 820m by four lengths from A Shin Full Beam after settling just behind the lead and picking up strongly. She backs up after one week and the stable has a solid track profile, so there is plenty to like in the progression. The query is the jump to 1400m from a sharp debut trip, but her turn of foot makes her a genuine winning threat.

Comments

Led on debut at Sonoda over 820m and held second, beaten two and a half lengths by Copano Jamaica after starting near the top of betting. That gives her a fair platform second-up, especially if she can use the same early speed, but she was safely held late and now stretches to 1400m. She has place appeal if she improves with race experience, without looking a dominant winning chance.

Comments

Had her winning form dented at Nagoya last start, finishing seventh behind Blue On Pink and beaten five lengths after settling rearward despite being near the top of betting. Her previous run was better, driving hard late to beat Ailes Express by a length and a half at Nagoya. A class drop helps her rebound case, but she needs to reproduce the win rather than the latest plain effort.

Produced the standout recent performance when scoring at Sonoda last start, beating Mo Mo Shine by seven lengths as a dominant favourite at a very short odds-on quote. She had been third at Mombetsu over 1200m before that, beaten three lengths at long odds after looming without threatening, so the latest step forward was significant. Already proven at this track and distance and with two wins from three starts, she sets the benchmark.
