Sonoda Race 2

1230

Prize Money: $23,628

ROCK'N' BEAT (5) gets the first look in a race where the exposed form is thin and several have been well beaten of late. He was fifth on debut over 820m at Sonoda, beaten ten lengths after sitting handy and not finishing off, but he still had UMESUISHO behind him and should take benefit from that first race experience. GAMILA'S SAIPAN (2) has the most obvious recent-form rating support and maps midfield, though her last two Sonoda runs were plain and the drop back from 1400m is a genuine query. UMESUISHO (3) was near the top of betting on debut before battling, and the light weight keeps her in the discussion if she improves second-up. UCHU KAIZOKU (7) has been safely held in two 820m runs but did battle on last start, while KATSU YOZAN (6) needs to rebound from a weak latest effort to fill a placing.

Comments

Has to be assessed as a key chance in a modest race despite two plain recent performances. She was sixth over 1400m at Sonoda last start, beaten out of sight after settling miles back, and had also weakened badly behind Methode the run before. The class drop and Wataru Hirose booking are positives, but the drop back in trip means she needs to travel closer and respond better.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace

Comments

Second-up now after starting near the top of betting on debut over 820m at Sonoda, where she settled just off the lead but was only battling late and finished sixth behind Copano Jamaica. The extra ground brings a query rather than a guarantee, yet she drops to 52kg and should have scope to improve from the first look at race pressure. A cleaner finish puts her right in the contest.

Comments

Made some late ground when fourth over 1400m at Sonoda last start, but the bare result still reads as beaten over 18 lengths at long odds. Her previous run was a sixth over the same trip, beaten over 15 lengths after settling back and making no impression. The lighter weight and class drop are useful enough, but she needs that late effort to turn into genuine race pressure.

Comments

Debuted over 820m at Sonoda and finished fifth behind Copano Jamaica, beaten ten lengths after sitting behind the leaders and failing to finish off. That was only his first race experience, and he did have Umesuisho covered in the same race, which gives the form some relevance here. The rise to 1230m is the main question, but there is enough upside to make him the runner to beat if he settles.

Comments

Third-up with a class drop, but the latest Sonoda run was weak when second last behind Methode and beaten out of sight after settling back and losing more ground late. His debut over 820m had been more respectable, finishing sixth and beaten eight and a half lengths, yet he was still big odds there. Place claims rely on a return to that first-run level and a better finish.

Comments

Has finished fifth at all three starts, with the last two over 820m at Sonoda producing sizeable margins. The latest was better than the margin alone, as he was back in the field and battled on in the straight behind Siena Grace, while the run prior offered less late. Fourth-up fitness and a class drop help, but stretching to 1230m is still an important test of his finish.
