Sonoda Race 11 - Race 11 - 1400
ANTHRACITE (7) closed off strongly last start to get up for second, beaten 1.5 lengths, over 1400m at this track when returning from a spell. Distance specialist with 12 wins and 10 minor placings from 28 runs and will play a prominent role. DAIJOBANAI (9) comes here off a break of three-and-a-half months. Scored over 1400m at this track to launch the last campaign. One of the genuine hopes in the race. TAGANO WILLIAM (2) returned from a spell three-and-a-half weeks ago when he was prominent at the turn before being beaten 2.75 lengths into sixth over 1400m at Himeji. Meets a stronger field but he is fitter and capable of running a bold race. OSUMI MIRAI (1) was responsible for a better run last start, beaten 2.5 lengths into fourth over 1400m at Himeji. Nicely placed to find some form.

Useful type. At the latest run 4th of 12 at Himeji on March 6 over 1400m, 2.5 len behind A Shin Temujin with 56kg at $64.60. The start before that led to the turn then faded 5th of 8 at Himeji on February 26 over 1500m, 4 len behind Snark Da Vinci with 54kg at $3.90. Won't spend a dime in the run from the inside stall. Good each-way hope.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. Resuming second last of 9 at this track on March 13 over 1230m, 11 len behind Silence Time carrying 54kg at $9.80. Second run from a spell 4th of 8 at this track on March 18 over 1230m, 9 len behind A Shin Torpedo with 56kg at $7.10. Better than that recent ordinary performance suggests.

Useful filly. At the latest run sat behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 12 at Himeji on March 6 over 1400m, 6 len behind A Shin Temujin carrying 54kg at $5. The race before that sat behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 12 at Himeji on February 11 over 1500m, 10 len behind Meisho Shimato with 56kg at $2.60. Can do a lot better than that last run.
