Sonoda Race 3 - Race 3 - 1400
CURREN PUMP IT UP (2) is back at the races for the first time since February 20 2024. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1400m at Himeji. Capable of playing a major role. ISSHIN (3) showed good early speed and led around the bend last start before being cut down, finishing fourth and beaten 1.75 lengths over this journey at this track. Expected to be in this for a long way. SPUR CROSS (6) could only manage fifth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1400m at this track, beaten only 1.5 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. TAMBAFFE (10) was beaten 14 lengths into fifth over 1400m at this track last time out. Suitably placed so can turn things around.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. First-up led but faded 3rd of 10 at this track on March 26 over 1400m, 30 len behind Meisho Ranzan carrying 56kg at $12.40. Second run from a spell 4th of 11 at this track on April 15 over 1400m, 1.75 len behind Jayden carrying 57kg at $2.20. Can improve. Top chance if at his best.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run made ground from midfield; 2nd of 12 at this track on April 17 over 1230m, 3 len behind Smart Kingdom with 55kg at $13.40. The run before that 4th of 11 at this track on March 25 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Key Classic with 53kg at $6.50. Should be right in the finish.

Most recently crossed from a wide gate to lead but couldn't hold on when 5th of 11 at this track on April 10 over 1400m, 14 len behind Corin Raspberry with 52kg at $3.40. Before that struggled in the run home; 5th of 9 at this track on March 12 over 1400m, 11 len behind Elan Fevre carrying 54kg at $23.60. Beaten comfortably last time out but this suits.
