Sonoda Race 12 - Race 12 - 1400
Z SILVIA (8) kept coming but just failed to pick up the winner as favourite last start over 1400m at this track. Should be near her peak for this. The engagement of F Komaki is a positive move. Going well and has strong prospects. SMILE CLARK (6) made it back-to-back wins when successful last start over 1400m at this track, getting home by a neck. Must raise the bar but a big run is on the cards. SNARK DURIAN (4) comes here off a last-start fifth over 1400m at this track. One of the main contenders. HELLO TSCHUSS (12) missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten only 0.8 lengths into fourth. Can turn things around. Something for the Multiples: DANON ONEUP (2)

Recent form sound. Most recently won by a neck at this track March 26 over 1400m defeating Climb Angel with 57kg at $16.40. The run before that won by a head at Himeji March 5 over 1400m defeating Bloom The Dream with 57kg at $3.80. Rates highly. Big chance.

Second-up. First-up after four months crossed from a wide gate to settle just off the pace but gave ground when 4th of 12 at this track on April 8 over 1400m, 5 len behind Cherrika with 55kg at $8. Previously second-up 6th of 12 at this track on March 19 2025 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Seinosuke with 54kg at $4.10. Likely improver.
