Comments

Worked home evenly when fourth in a 3yo+ C1 over 1400m at Sonoda last start, but was still beaten just over seven lengths by El Fenix and went around at long odds. He had led before weakening into fifth, beaten over 13 lengths by Marble Halo, the run prior. His four wins from 13 tries at this track and distance are a genuine counterpoint, but recent output says he must lift sharply.

Expected Settling Position: Leader

820m - 1400m

Comments

Faded late when second last in a 3yo+ COND over 1400m at Sonoda, well beaten by 20 lengths behind Ecoro Bolt and unwanted in the market. He had also failed to finish off over 820m two runs back when ninth at big odds. A class drop is some help and Tomohiro Yoshimura rides, but his unplaced record from six track-and-distance starts is hard to overlook.

Comments

Finished third behind Summer Park at Sonoda last start, beaten three lengths as favourite after having the task ahead and working home late. His previous fourth behind Pazu, beaten a length, was another sound 3yo+ C1 effort from a rearward position. He beat T O Tebaldi home in that latest meeting and has four wins from twelve at this track and distance, so he only needs to land close enough to be a major player.

Comments

Made up good late ground when fifth behind Summer Park in a 3yo+ C1 at Sonoda, beaten just over six lengths after being kept safe near the top of an open market. That was a better run than her prior second-last effort behind Earth In Hammer, where she conceded a lot of ground late. She has two wins and two places from seven starts at Sonoda and looks ready to give this a strong shake fourth-up.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace

Comments

Had every chance at Sonoda last start in a 3yo+ C1 over 1400m, finding little after enjoying the right run and finishing seventh, beaten just over nine lengths by Eze Village. She had been fair to the line against the same winner two back when fourth, beaten just under six lengths. Her track-and-distance record is useful, but the latest effort leaves a sizeable improvement task.

Comments

Kept to the task when eighth behind L'Immensite at Sonoda last start, beaten five and a half lengths after being near the top of an open market. The better reference is his previous third over 820m, where he travelled well and kept finding to be beaten just under two lengths by Fiorino. With one win and nine places from 19 at this track and distance, he has a sound minor-money profile if he rebounds.

Struggled to make ground from well back when seventh over 820m at Sonoda last start, beaten over 11 lengths by Gift Basket, and had also been beaten over 14 lengths by Victory Bridge the run prior. That recent form is plain, but the return to 1230m and an excellent record with Osamu Shimohara are genuine positives. He is a place hope only if the longer trip sparks the necessary lift.

Expected Settling Position: Off Midfield

Comments

Comes off consecutive seconds at Sonoda, most recently behind L'Immensite when beaten three and a half lengths after settling rearward. The start prior was stronger again, as he was pipped at the post by Victory Bridge and beaten half a length at big odds. He has placed in both runs at this distance and his recent profile is more persuasive than most, making him a serious winning chance again.

Was never in the picture at Sonoda last start, giving away a big start in the lane and finishing second last, beaten over 16 lengths by El Fenix at long odds. Her previous run was no better, second last and beaten over 20 lengths by Oabare when unwanted in the market. She has a Sonoda win on the record, but current form demands a major reversal before she can threaten.

Comments

Was right there but could not finish off when seventh behind L'Immensite at Sonoda last start, beaten five lengths after carrying 51kg. She rises to 55kg now, and the run prior was a disappointing seventh as favourite behind Summer Park, beaten over 11 lengths. A previous track-and-distance win gives her some grounding, but she must finish her races off better to turn that into a placing.

Comments

Finished sixth behind L'Immensite at Sonoda last start, beaten five lengths at long odds, which was a fair enough effort without being a clear winning pointer. She had tracked the speed and was safely held over 820m two runs back when sixth, beaten three and a half lengths by Fiorino. Two wins in the past year give some support, but her unplaced track-and-distance record is a concern.
