Sonoda Race 4 - Race 4 - 1400
CHARIS PEARL (1) could only manage sixth when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1400m at this track, beaten only 1.75 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. A SHIN FALCON (4) looks close to a win, the latest effort a strong second, beaten a head, over 1400m at this track. Drawn to enjoy a nice trail just off the pace. Best figures should see him run well. COEUR ET CASSIS (9) made a nice return last time out to finish second and beaten only half a length over this course and distance. Wataru Hirose who has scored on her two times retains the mount. Has winning claims on best figures. VARIRAPTOR (2) was beaten 18 lengths into tenth in a 1700m contest at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.

Second-up. First-up after four months held ground to the line 2nd of 10 at this track on December 16 over 1400m, 0.5 len behind Air Zakynthos carrying 55kg at $2.50. Previously second-up won by 2.5 len at this track June 18 over 1400m defeating Bradshaw with 55kg at $3.30. Even fitter and is an excellent winning chance.
