Sonoda Race 9

1230

Prize Money: $16,877

SMART IDEAL (2) earns top billing after putting a clear margin on a 3yo+ C2 field at Sonoda last start, winning by five lengths as a well-supported favourite. She had been third to MONONOFU YELLOW the run prior, but the strength of that latest win, her record at Sonoda and the proven rider-horse combination make her the one to beat. AKKESHI (1) is the main danger, dropping back from a 1400m sixth and returning to a track-and-distance profile that has already produced two wins and two placings from seven attempts. SUN LINARIA (9) was only fifth last time, yet she made late ground over 1400m and had scored here two starts ago as a heavily backed odds-on runner, so the bounce-back case is sound. ADMI (4) was well beaten behind Star Of Adam last start, but her previous five-length win and perfect place record from six starts at the distance keep her right in the minor-money mix with some winning upside if she reproduces that August form.

Comments

Was only moderate late when sixth over 1400m at Sonoda last start, beaten just over seven lengths behind Squid Run as an outside chance in betting. His previous run is the stronger guide, making up many lengths to beat Endless Tale in a 3yo+ C2. Back to a track-and-distance profile of two wins and two placings from seven starts, he has the right credentials to rebound strongly.

Expected Settling Position: Leader

Comments

Dominated at Sonoda last start, winning a 3yo+ C2 by five lengths from Regolith after being sent out a well-supported favourite. She had been beaten by Mononofu Yellow two runs ago, but still worked home evenly into third there and then took a clear step forward. With two wins from four starts at the track and Toyokazu Tano back aboard, she brings the strongest winning profile.

Comments

Lifted sharply to win at Sonoda last start, beating Bellagio Abroad by just under two lengths despite being unwanted in the market. That was a big turnaround from a second-last over 820m when beaten over 17 lengths behind Gift Basket. Her three wins and four placings from 14 attempts at this track and distance give her some hope, but consistency remains the reservation.

1150m - 1400m

Comments

Was safely held over 1400m at Sonoda last start, settling rearward and making no late impression when sixth behind Star Of Adam, beaten over 13 lengths. The better reference is her previous 3yo+ C2 win, when a dominant odds-on favourite and five lengths clear of Yakujin Myo O. Returning to a distance where she has never missed a place keeps her in contention for the minors.

Comments

Has been well beaten in two recent 1400m runs at Sonoda, finishing eighth behind Eze Village last start after conceding a huge start and never getting into the race. She was also fourth but beaten over 14 lengths behind Crown Heart the run prior. The class and distance set-up is kinder, but recent form leaves her with a sizeable task against these.

Comments

Comes off a solid Sonoda win, scoring by a length from Techno Express in 3yo+ C2 as favourite. The run prior was also sound, leading before being run down late by Win Kaguyahime and beaten two and a half lengths. His overall record is dependable, with eight wins and 13 placings from 37 starts, and he looks a genuine place player again if he holds that form.

Comments

Returns from a five-month break after leading throughout to beat Kirakirari by three and a half lengths in a 4yo+ C2 at Sonoda as favourite. That was a much better effort than his previous 12th at Sapporo Dirt, where he offered little at big odds. He is unbeaten from one start at this track, but resuming in this company still asks for a stronger overall profile.

Expected Settling Position: Midfield

Comments

Finished well held at Sonoda last start, coming in last behind Star Of Adam over 1400m after settling just off the lead at long odds. Two back he was much better, beating Marina Sunrise by just over a length in 3yo+ C2, and that race also saw him beat Smart Ideal. The weight relief helps, but he remains an each-way prospect rather than a leading winning chance.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace

Comments

Made up good late ground when fifth over 1400m at Sonoda last start, beaten seven and a half lengths behind Star Of Adam. She had won here two runs earlier, driving hard late to beat Safari after being heavily supported into very short odds-on territory. With two wins and a placing from four starts at the track, she has enough quality to be a strong place hope.
