Sonoda Race 6 - Race 6 - 1400
THERMOPYLAE (2) turned in a better run last time to finish third over 1400m at this track. Fitter for recent racing. Key chance who could prove hard to beat. ACCORDANCE (6) has been thereabouts lately without being able to break through, the latest effort a third at this track over 1400m. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Sure to be in the finish. FACE NINE (3) performed well last time at this track, finishing third and only 1.3 lengths from the winner at the end of 1400m. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. FESTIVO (4) could only manage to finish seventh at his latest appearance over 1400m at this track. Finds a suitable assignment this time and can improve.

Third-up today. Resuming 4th of 10 at Himeji on March 4 over 1400m, 11 len behind Civic Charles carrying 57kg at $18.30. Second run from a spell led but faded 3rd of 10 at this track on March 17 over 1400m, 4 len behind Io Sea One carrying 57kg at $2.60. Should be right in the finish.

Form hard to fault. Last start set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 9 at this track on March 19 over 1400m, 1.3 len behind Shishi carrying 55kg at $20.60. The run before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 10 at Himeji on March 5 over 1400m, 4 len behind Grand Centre with 55kg at $18.90. Winning chance.

Last start 7th of 10 at this track on March 17 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Io Sea One carrying 57kg at $10.50. The race before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 10 at Himeji on February 25 over 1400m, 8 len behind Tambaffe carrying 57kg at $3. Cannot be ruled out despite a plain effort last time.

Recent form sound. At the latest run held ground to the line 3rd of 10 at this track on March 18 over 1400m, 2.25 len behind Daishichisei carrying 55kg at $2.90. Before that ran on from midfield; 2nd of 10 at Himeji on January 29 over 1400m, 2.5 len behind Forewind with 55kg at $7.60. Right in the mix again.
