Sonoda Race 3 - Race 3 - 1400
JERICOACOARA (6) has been kept fresh since finishing third over 1400m at Himeji four weeks ago. Was a determined winner two starts back. Has never been out of the money over this course and distance from four attempts. Sure to run well. TENKU WORLD (1) proved too strong two runs ago at Himeji but was not as effective last time out when third over 1400m at this track. Can make amends. WIDE MARGARITA (5) raced on pace for much of the way before fading in the straight to finish fourth over 1700m here last time. Worth another chance. NAMURA HAKA (4) was a gutsy winner two back then ran sixth over 1400m at Himeji on March 5. Top three prospects.

Recent form sound. At the latest run raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 11 at this track on March 13 over 1400m, 4.5 len behind Annina carrying 56kg at $5.90. Before that won by 0.8 len at Himeji February 26 over 1400m defeating Kikuno May Storm with 54kg at $2.40. Will not spend a penny from the inside draw.

Comes here off a 29-day let-up. At the latest run 6th of 8 at Himeji on March 5 over 1400m, 11 len behind Yuna Bright carrying 52kg at $7.10. The start before that came from midfield and won by a neck at Himeji February 20 over 1500m defeating Blu Classico with 52kg at $4.50. Didn't fire last time out but this suits.
