Sonoda Race 12 - Race 12 - 1400
HATSUNAGI (2) didn't do a bad job when third last start after being in contention on the corner over 1400m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. That followed a win at Himeji the start prior. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out. FANGXIN LADY (1) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 5 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Fitter so expect a better run this time. LAZULITE TAKKA (8) missed the frame last time when fifth at this track. That followed a run of two wins on end. Goes well at this journey with three wins and two placings from seven starts and has to be included. SHADOW STRIKE (9) made progress last time out, finishing 5 lengths from the winner in third over 1400m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role.

Mare returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last preparation seventh of 12 at this track December 31 over 1400m, 12 len behind Genius Lennon carrying 55kg at $176.60. Previous preparation first-up won by 0.8 len this track March 12 2025 over 1400m defeating Reimu with 54kg at $2.10. Should be right in the mix.
