Sonoda Race 9 - Race 9 - 1400

NORI WOOD TAIL (5) appeals most, shooting for a hat-trick at 1400m and fresh off a nose win here, with strong track-and-trip figures backing her up. WIN SOLENNEL (1) is a danger from the inside draw after decisive 7L and 4L wins over this course, though the rise to 58kg asks a touch more. BEST MARIA (10) has been around the mark with two recent 4ths and earlier 2nds at the trip, capable of settling into the finish from wider out. OSUMI CIPHER (2) can fill a placing after a close 3rd here last start. Leaning NORI WOOD TAIL (5) on current streak and proven Sonoda record.

Comments

Won 2 of last 3 and comes off dominant 1400m victories at Sonoda, taking a 9-runner race on 14 Oct by 7L at $3.40 after a 4L win on 25 Sep at $23.00. Both were at this trip and track, so the set-up is familiar. Kenta Sugiura sticks for Mozaki Masayoshi. Strong recent wins at the course and distance make Win Solennel a leading chance again.

Osumi Cipher lifted sharply last time at Sonoda over 1400m, finishing 3rd of 9, beaten 2L at $41.00 after a heavy defeat at the same trip on 23 Sep. Sticks to 1400m and keeps Teppei Kotani, and that latest run suggests he’s trending the right way. Competitive if holding that form.

Back to 1400m after finishing 9th of 11 over 1700m at Sonoda on 22 Oct, beaten 8.25L at $34.00. Two starts ago at this track and trip he ran 3rd of 9 on 9 Oct, beaten 3.5L at $31.00. The return to this distance looks a plus and a repeat of that 1400m effort would see him competitive.

Draws a much kinder gate with barrier 4 after coming from 10 last time. Recent 1400m runs at Sonoda read 9th of 11 on 23 Oct (beaten 35.01L at $301.00) and 8th of 10 on 7 Oct (beaten 38.75L at $301.00). The improved draw is a small plus, but recent margins suggest a measured view.

Third up and thriving, with won 2 of last 3 including back‑to‑back 1400m wins at Sonoda. Latest was 1st of 11 over 1400m here on 23 Oct in 91.0s at $1.40. Draws better from barrier 5 after jumping from 11 last time. Proven at the trip and venue (1400m Sonoda 23:6-6-6), so Nori Wood Tail sets up well again.

Back to 1400m at Sonoda where she was 4th of 10 on 15 Oct, beaten 3.55L at $34.00 after a 5th over the same trip on 23 Sep. Those two recent runs at the course and distance read steadily and she stays in the same set-up with Shingo Ooyama aboard. Honest enough profile to be competitive again.

Placed in 3 of last 5 and comes back to the Sonoda 1400m where she scored on 21 Oct, taking a 1st of 11 by 0.5L at $19.00. Same trip and track suits, and Souta Hijikata retains the ride. Solid claims off that win.

Fourth up and sticks to 1400m at Sonoda after a 7th of 10 here on 22 Oct, beaten 10.4L at $34.00. Prior run at the trip was more competitive, finishing 3rd of 9 on 8 Oct at $9.50. With Toyokazu Tano up again, a return to that earlier effort would see Cosmo Antares hold his own.

Ecoro Athena stays at 1400m after a tough pair of Sonoda runs, latest 12th of 12 here on 21 Oct over 1400 when beaten 26.4L at $126.00. Prior was 7th of 9 at the same trip on 8 Oct, beaten 23.75L at $101.00. Needs to lift on those efforts but retains Daichi Matsuki and gets another chance at the track and trip.
