Sonoda Race 10

1230

Prize Money: $16,877

SHANA O (3) brings the most reliable current form, with a third to Mononofuno Michi here last start following a second to L'Immensite. He has placed in all three attempts at this track and distance and the Wataru Hirose pairing has produced three wins and nine placings from 23 rides, so he looks the runner with the clearest winning profile. BALL THE MAHONEY (2) is the main danger despite being safely held over 1400m last time; his previous third to Anno Domini reads well enough and he has twice placed from three tries at this track and distance. ANYA WAKUWAKU (4) has recent form that is hard to warm to, but the light weight and stronger 12-month record give her some minor-placing appeal if she can turn things around. FLASH KELLY (8) resumes with strong overall figures, a proven record with Osamu Shimohara and past form in 4yo+ B2 company, though she was beaten favourite before the break after tiring late.

Comments

Was unwanted in the market and failed to offer a challenge when ninth at Sonoda last start, beaten nine and a half lengths by L'Immensite after settling handy. The prior fourth behind Summer Park was better, but she was still beaten five and a half lengths at generous odds. Unplaced in seven runs at this track and distance, she must find a much sharper finish to threaten.

Expected Settling Position: Off Midfield

Comments

Had been holding his form well before a plain fifth over 1400m at Sonoda last start, where Go Go Tsuyoshi beat him just over seven lengths. His previous third behind Anno Domini was sound and he has placed two times from three starts at this track and distance. Back to 1230m is the main query, but the Yoshimura booking and solid profile keep him high among the chances.

Comments

Comes off consecutive Sonoda placings, most recently third to Mononofuno Michi when beaten two and a half lengths after working home evenly. He had been second to L'Immensite the start prior and has placed all three times at this track and distance. With Wataru Hirose back aboard and his recent consistency clearly superior, he sets the standard and looks the one to beat.

820m - 1400m

Comments

Has to rebound from a tenth over 820m at Sonoda, where she was beaten over 12 lengths at long odds and made no impression late. Two back was much worse in 3yo+ B2 company, so the class drop and 51kg are important parts of the case. Her 12-month record is stronger than the recent form suggests, making her more a place hope than a win threat.

Comments

Settled prominently but faded when seventh behind Mononofuno Michi at Sonoda last start, beaten seven and a half lengths. Her prior sixth to L'Immensite was closer, although she has yet to place from four starts at this track and distance. The class drop and 53kg help, but she profiles as a minor-money chance rather than a strong winning hope.

Comments

Finished last behind Mononofuno Michi at Sonoda last start, beaten over 14 lengths after settling rearward and making no impression. The run prior was also well held at big odds behind Ecoro Bolt. He remains unplaced in seven starts at this track and distance and has not placed in 15 runs across the past 12 months, so others make far more appeal.

Comments

Was safely beaten first-up at Sonoda, finishing second last behind Go Go Tsuyoshi and coming in a long way back. Her previous run at Himeji in February was more respectable, a fourth over 800m when near the top of betting, but she now has a back-in-trip query and limited track impact. Second-up improvement is required before she becomes a betting focus.

Expected Settling Position: Leader

Comments

Returns from a four-month break after finishing fourth in 4yo+ B2 company at Sonoda, beaten just under five lengths by Smile Clark as favourite after leading and tiring late. She had run second to Bellagio Dream the start prior and now comes back in trip with a strong record for Osamu Shimohara. Her fresh record gives her place claims, provided she is forward enough.

Comments

Picked up nicely in the straight when fourth to L'Immensite at Sonoda last start, beaten four and a half lengths at long odds. He also charged home over 820m two back when beaten three lengths, so there is some late-run substance. The issue is that he remains unplaced in three starts at this distance, leaving him needing a career-best local performance.

Expected Settling Position: Off Midfield
