Sonoda Race 3 - Race 3 - 1400
HAGINO AGGRESSIVE (4) registered a strong win at Himeji two runs ago. Decent effort last time out when prominent at the turn before finishing second over 1400m at this track, beaten 1.3 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. GENTATSU (2) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a third over 1400m at this track when beaten 32 lengths. Form here at this distance is sound with two wins and two minor placings from six starts. Expected to go very well. NARITA BONNY (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 6 lengths into fifth. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ECORO ATHENA (6) finished 9 lengths away in fifth at her last appearance over 1400m at this track on April 14 after she was well back on straightening. Among the chances in what looks a nice race for her.

Form hard to fault. Last start held ground to the line 3rd of 9 at this track on April 7 over 1400m, 32 len behind Sulfur with 57kg at $43.40. The start before that rolled along in front before being edged out 2nd of 9 at this track on March 19 over 1400m, 3 len behind Iskios carrying 57kg at $27.50. This is well within his grasp.

Most recently got back early 5th of 10 at this track on April 14 over 1400m, 9 len behind G T Eight carrying 55kg at $4.30. The race before that made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 10 at this track on April 1 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Epoca Rina with 55kg at $27.60. Cannot be ruled out despite a lacklustre effort last time.
