An In-depth Analysis of the Jpn3 Dirt Sprint Classic

Sonoda’s tight 1400m track heavily favors front-runners and those with advantageous inner gate positions.
Training reports show **Sunrise Flame** and **Matenro Command** are in exceptional form.
Established in 2001, the Hyogo Gold Trophy is a vital handicap race bridging local and central circuits. The handicap system, with weights from 59kg to 51kg, is designed to level the playing field and produces thrilling, unpredictable outcomes.
Sonoda’s 1400m dirt course is a unique test of strategy and speed. With a small 1051m circumference, its tight turns and a short 213m final straight create a significant advantage for front-runners. Jockeys fight for early position, as securing an economical rail spot through the sharp corners is crucial for victory.
Analysis shows Ritto-trained horses are dominant. While top favorites are reliable, there’s high potential for lower-ranked horses to cause upsets in 2nd or 3rd place.
The Start: An intense early pace is expected as Sunrise Flame (inner gate) and Matenro Command (outer gate) push for the lead. The light-weighted Baucheiser will also contend, setting up a high-speed battle into the first corner.
Mid-Race: The field will likely string out. Happy Man is predicted to settle in a prime stalking position, while local hope Ecolo Courage conserves energy on the rail. The pack will bunch up approaching the third corner.
The Finish: Sunrise Flame will attempt to break away early in the short straight. Matenro Command and Happy Man will launch their attacks from the outside. If the early pace takes its toll, the 3-year-olds or a lightly-weighted local could surge past tiring leaders for a thrilling finish.
