Sonoda Race 5 - Race 5 - 820
PRAYER AKIRA (9) brings the best recent 820m credential after a 3rd of 11 at Sonoda on 25 Sep (FIRM) over 820m, beaten 1.75L carrying 55kg, and can hold a forward position again. SMART CLASSE (2) resumes third-up with solid short-course figures, including 2nd over 820m here on 31 Jul by 1.5L at $5.5, and draws barrier 2. AKANENO SORA (4) has consistent 820m form (2nd, 3rd, 2nd in three prior dashes) and back to this trip looks suitable after a 1400m miss. ALBATRON (11) was 3rd over 820m here on 21 Aug, 6L off the winner, and can run on despite the wide gate.

Drops back 580m to 820m and sheds 2kg to 53kg after two 12th-place efforts at Sonoda over longer trips, and now draws the inside gate. Earlier 820m runs here included a 4th of 5 on 9 Jul (55kg, 10.6L at $51) and a 6th of 6 on 31 Jul (20L at $67). Inside barrier and lighter weight give her a more suitable sprint setup, though she still needs to lift.

Third-up and drawn well in barrier 2, she brings solid 820m Sonoda form with a 2nd last start on 31 Jul (55kg, SP 5.5), beaten 1.5L by Eagle Logo in a 6-runner field. That followed a 3rd on 9 Jul over the same trip (55kg, SP 9), 2.6L off God’s Favorite. Consistent at track and trip (2:0-1-1) and holds her weight; well placed to run another honest race.

Drops back 580m to 820m after a 7th of 12 at Sonoda over 1400m on 23 Sep (56kg, SP 12) when beaten 13.8L by Cherry Squall, and draws kindly in barrier 3. His best this prep was a 3rd of 12 over 1230m on 4 Sep (5.3L) behind Nippon Seira on soft going. With consistent rider-jockey-trainer continuity and a more suitable trip, he can be competitive.

Back to 820m after a tough 1400m run 27 days ago, and she has placed at this track and trip (3:0-2-1). Earlier this prep she was a close 2nd over 820m at Sonoda on 9 Jul (FIRM) beaten 0.1L by God’s Favorite, and again 2nd on 21 Aug at 820m when $4.5. Drops to 54kg and draws barrier 4, which looks a more suitable setup.

Closed to 4th over 820m at Sonoda 19 days ago (SP 7) carrying 56kg, a clear improvement on his prior two runs at 1230m and 1400m where he was well beaten. Draws barrier 5 again and sticks with Kazuyuki Watase; his best recent figure came at this track and reads fairly for another honest showing.

Four runs into his prep, he has struggled to land a blow at Sonoda and Kokura, most recently 11th of 11 over 820m at Sonoda on 25 Sep (56kg, SP 251) beaten 21.75L behind Ninen Tsuki Gumi. Drops 3kg to 53kg and draws barrier 6, but needs sharp improvement to feature.

Third-up and back sharply in trip by 580m, he switches to Sakito Yamamoto after a tough 6th of 6 over 1400m at Sonoda on 30 Sep (56kg, $8.5, 37.25L) on soft. His debut second over 820m at Sonoda on 9 Sep (HEAVY, 56kg, $1.24) reads better for today’s setup, and the barrier improves two spots. Capable of a rebound at this distance if he settles into a rhythm.

Third-up and holding form at 820m, she improved sharply last time at Sonoda, running 3rd of 11 over 820m on 25 Sep (55kg) at $10, beaten 1.75L by Ninen Tsuki Gumi on a firm track. That followed a 4th of 6 on heavy going on 9 Sep at the same trip (55kg) at $34, so she’s trending the right way and draws barrier 9 after gate 6.

Drops to 52kg and comes off a 6th of 11 at Sonoda over 820m on 25 Sep, beaten 9.75L at $91 after drawing barrier 5. Earlier runs at 1230m and 1600m stretched her, so the sprint trip looks a more suitable setup. With barrier 10 this time, she’ll need to begin cleanly but can be competitive if building on that latest effort.

Drops 410m back to 820m after a 6th over 1230m at Sonoda on 4 Sep (56kg, $81), which followed a 3rd at this trip on 21 Aug (56kg, $18) beaten 6L by Le Jouet. Barrier shifts from 1 to 11, but he has placed twice at Sonoda and is 1:0-0-1 at the distance. Honest type for minors if the sharper trip helps.

Draws barrier 12 again and drops back sharply to 820m after finishing 11th over 1400m at Sonoda on 23 Sep (56kg, SP 301), beaten 34.16L by Joy D'Or. His best recent effort came at this trip when 4th of 6 here on 31 Jul (56kg, SP 61), albeit 10.75L off Eagle Logo. Needs to lift but the return to the short course could help.
