Sonoda Race 3 - Race 3 - 1400
DALI (3) missed the frame last start when he got a long way back over 1400m at this track, finishing fifth. Best figures measure up and is well placed to feature here. CHIARO VELOCE (9) is back at the races for the first time since February 11. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1200m at Hakodate. Capable of playing a major role. SCENTED JEWEL (5) did little and finished eighth over 1230m at this track last start. Finds a nice race and can feature in the finish. SAKURA GRACIEUX (8) missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track when fifth. Finds a nice race and has claims.

Second-up. First-up after three months settled back and ran on when 6th of 10 at this track on May 8 over 1400m, 13 len behind Grand Themis carrying 57kg at $9.30. Previously second-up 3rd of 9 at this track on August 10 2023 over 1400m, 30 len behind Groznyi Grad carrying 55kg at $29.30. Unlikely to threaten.
