Sonoda Race 4 - Race 4 - 1400
MEISHO RANZAN (3) is having his first run since April 8. Has a strong record when fresh with three wins from five runs, the most recent over 1400m at this track at the start of last prep. Expected to prove hard to beat. BONIN BLUE (9) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished second over 1400m at this track. Can contest the finish. MEISHO UNABARA (2) won at this track and distance at his last outing three-and-a-half months ago. Has found a suitable race and is worth including. CIVIC CHARLES (6) returns from a spell of three-and-a-half months and did win first-up last time in work over 1400m at this track. Makes plenty of appeal.

Comes off a 57 day let-up. At the latest run 9th of 11 at this track on May 28 over 1400m, 45 len behind First Rickey carrying 56kg at $140.30. The start before that ran last of 9 at this track on May 15 over 1400m, 14 len behind Palo Santo carrying 56kg at $73. Better than that recent ordinary performance suggests.
