Sonoda Race 8 - Race 8 - 1400
MEISHO ALADDIN (2) returns from a spell of eight months and is having his first run for a new yard. Finished seventh at Chukyo Dirt over 1800m when first-up last time in work. Well-placed and looks ready to fire. CRESCO THUNDER (3) is back from a break of three-and-a-half months. Scored back-to-back wins before running below his best at the last run of the prep, finishing fifth over 1400m at this track. Good effort at the start of last prep to score over 1400m at this track. Big chance to kick off this campaign with a win. REIMU (6) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 16 starts. Did a good job last start to finish second over 1400m at this track, beaten 0.8 lengths. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race. AGNES SHU (5) is back after a break of five months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1400m at this track. Among the better hopes.

Second run back. First-up after four months sat on the pace when 2nd of 11 at this track on March 12 over 1400m, 0.8 len behind Minack Theatre with 54kg at $3.90. Previously second-up second last of 15 at Hanshin on December 17 2023 over 1400m, 9 len behind Arranger carrying 51.0kg at $219.10. Even fitter and is an excellent winning chance.
