Sonoda Race 11

1700

Prize Money: $67,508

ALAN (1) sets the benchmark after dominant 1400m wins at Sonoda, scoring by five lengths then by three and a half lengths as a very short odds-on favourite. The rise to 1700m is the main question, but his overall and track records are outstanding. BOW VOGUE (3) has the strongest recent placing profile, having run second in a 3yo+ B2 here and third at Kasamatsu, and his Sonoda record keeps him right in the argument. SAN MIGUEL (7) is the most progressive of the key chances, unbeaten at this distance and coming off back-to-back Sonoda wins, including a three-length success as a well-supported favourite. OTOKONO ROMAN (2) has place appeal after working home evenly for second over 1400m, though his 1700m record leaves him with a little more to prove than the top trio.

Comments

Made it two straight wins at Sonoda when scoring by three and a half lengths in a 3yo+ C1 over 1400m, having sprinted quickly after looking to have work to do. The start prior was even more dominant, beating Cho Umakuiku by five lengths in a 3yo+ C2. Barrier one and his natural speed help, but the step to 1700m is the clear test of his winning profile.

Comments

Improved first-up when second to Harienju over 1400m at Sonoda, beaten two and a half lengths after working home evenly. He had been plain before the break, finishing sixth as a short odds-on favourite and beaten nine and a half lengths. Second-up improvement is possible, but he is unplaced in two tries at this distance, so the place case is stronger than the win case.

Comments

Returns from a five-week let-up after going close in a 3yo+ B2 over 1400m at Sonoda, beaten just under a length by Fuseno Aurora after tracking the leader and fighting on. He had earlier run third at Kasamatsu when near the top of an open market. With two wins and one place from four starts here, he has the right credentials if the longer trip does not blunt his finish.

Comments

Returns from a three-month break after finishing a distant last in a 3yo+ ALLOW at Kokura, where he conceded a big start and was unwanted in the market. The run before was also a last at Nakayama over 2200m, beaten over 12 lengths at big odds. The class drop is some help, and he owns one win from three starts, but recent evidence demands a sharp rebound.

Comments

Returns from a one-month freshening after winning a 3yo+ C1 over 1230m at Sonoda, beating Brioni by just over a length after working into the race and putting it away comfortably. The start prior was better than fifth reads, as he was beaten just over a length and made ground late. He is reliable here, but 1700m is new territory and that keeps him to a place assessment.

Comments

Returns from a two-month freshening in excellent form, having won by three lengths at Sonoda in a 3yo+ C2 as a well-supported favourite. That followed another Sonoda win over 1400m, where he was strong through the line beating Mild Meteor. Three wins and two places from six starts here reads well, and he is already one from one at this trip, making him a genuine winning chance again.

1400m - 1870m

Comments

Lifted to win a 3yo+ C1 over 1870m at Sonoda last start, beating Earth In Hammer by just under a length at outside odds. That was a clear turnaround from her previous fifth here, when beaten over 15 lengths after settling rearward. She has placed once from three starts at the Sonoda 1700m, but the drop back in trip and patchy recent pattern leave her needing another step forward.

Comments

Has been soundly beaten in both recent Sonoda runs, finishing seventh behind Alan last start in a 3yo+ C1 and beaten over 12 lengths at big odds. The start prior was fourth behind Marble Halo but still beaten over 11 lengths despite market respect. His local record and the returning winning rider are positives, yet the current form says he needs considerable improvement.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace

Comments

Returns from a three-month break after winning a 3yo AB over 1870m at Sonoda, beating Alan by four lengths at generous odds with a decisive late change of gear. The run prior was also sound when third over 1400m, beaten a length and a half as an odds-on favourite. His three-start Sonoda record is excellent, but coming back in trip from 1870m makes this a tougher fresh assignment.
