Sonoda Race 6 - Race 6 - 820
SMILE MINING (7) maps as the one to beat dropping back to 820m after a 3rd over 1400m at Sonoda on 2 Sep, with an earlier 3rd at this trip (820m, 3.01L) adding confidence. PRAYER AKIRA (6) is second up and comes off a 4th over 820m here on 9 Sep, beaten 4.4L on heavy. NINEN TSUKI GUMI (2) is on a short turnaround and returns to 820m after a tough 1400m run; she was 2nd over this trip here on 27 Aug (2.5L) from barrier 2 and draws low again. FUKU BLANTON (1) can improve second up from the inside gate after a 5th over 820m on 9 Sep, and the barrier improves from 5 to 1.

Second-up after a debut 5th of 6 at Sonoda over 820m on heavy, beaten 5.65L at $51 carrying 56kg. Draws the inside this time (barrier 1) after jumping from 5, which could help him settle handier. With race experience now and the favourable gate, he can improve.

Back to 820m after a tough 9th of 9 over 1400m at Sonoda seven days ago, which came on a Soft track at $51. She was runner-up over this track and trip on debut from barrier 2, beaten 2.5L by Copano Jamaica at $4.8, and draws low again. Third-up with a favourable distance drop and inside alley, she looks better placed.

First-up after 3 months and draws barrier 3, having finished 4th of 5 over 820m at Sonoda on 24 Jun (56kg, SP 6) when beaten 11.75L on Good. Stays at the same trip and weight with Souta Hijikata taking over, so a fitter showing second prep is the aim.

Returns to 820m after two 1400m runs, a notable drop of 410m that could suit given he was 5th of 7 over this trip at Sonoda on debut when $5 and 7.25L off Mo Mo Impact. Most recent run was 5th of 7 over 1230m at Sonoda on soft, beaten 29.75L at $41, and he draws barrier 4 here after jumping from 2 last time. Needs to lift on recent figures, but the sharper trip and handy gate give him a chance to settle better.

Drops 410m back to 820m after finishing 12th of 12 over 1230m at Sonoda 20 days ago, beaten 19.62L on soft at 29. Carries 52kg again from barrier 5 with Kou Takahashi retaining the ride, and her sole Sonoda run provides the key reference. Needs to lift but the sharper trip could help.

Third-up and back sharply in trip by 580m after a 3rd at Sonoda over 1400m on Sep 2, beaten 20.3L at $41. She was much more competitive two starts ago when 3rd of 8 over 820m here, 3.01L off One Noel at $26, and draws barrier 7 this time after 8. Returns to her proven short-course setup and can hold her form.

Third-up and dropping 410m back to 820m, he also sheds 3kg to 53kg after a 6th of 12 over 1230m at Sonoda on 04 Sep (SOFT), beaten 10.9L at $8.5 by Nippon Seira. His only 820m run here was a 4th of 8 on 05 Aug (FIRM), beaten 6.01L at $6.5, so this sharper setup looks more suitable.

Fourth-up and back to 820m after a 1230m SOFT run at Sonoda 13 days ago when 7th of 7, beaten 52.75L at $151. Prior Sonoda 820m effort resulted in 8th of 8, beaten 32.8L at $51. Needs sharp improvement but the drop to the short trip is the most suitable recent setup.

Second-up after a sole run at Sonoda over 820m when 7th of 7, beaten 31.75L on firm going at SP 10. Rises to 56kg and draws barrier 10 after the rail draw last time, so he’ll be looking for natural improvement with race experience.

Second-up after a debut at Sonoda over 1400m when 5th of 6, beaten 42.25L at $22 carrying 56kg on good going. Drops 580m in trip and shifts to barrier 11 with Shuuhei Kotani up; needs sharp improvement but the setup change could help.
