Sonoda Race 2 - Race 2 - 1400
PURPLE PARAISO (6) resumes from a spell of six months. Could only manage to finish seventh at the latest run over 1400m at this track. Set to return in style. ACCORDANCE (5) has been racing well without winning. Last start finished second, beaten 0.8 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Has a fair record at this trip and is among the leading chances. LIEN SOLIDE (3) took advantage of the good draw when resuming from a spell last start and led for much of the way before finishing second, beaten half a length, over 1400m at this track. Among the main hopes. SCARLET HONEY (2) last raced on April 8 when fourth at this track over 1400m. Likely improver.

Recent form sound. At the latest run 4th of 9 at this track on April 8 over 1400m, 6 len behind Puff Of Wind carrying 55kg at $5.90. Before that set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 10 at this track on March 26 over 1400m, 3 len behind Shibanosutomukitto with 55kg at $26.80. Better than that recent plain performance suggests.
