Sonoda Race 7 - Race 7 - 1400
HANUMAN (3) Came in 3rd last time here. Has run into the money 2 from 2 attempts this preparation. Will give a big sight. NOBLE LINER (7) First run back from a break. Got the cash when winning by 3/4L last start at Himeji. Fights on bravely so consider. AKAKICHINO ELEVEN (1) Underperformed when 8th last time at this venue but has minimal work to do from the draw. Looks value and a good place bet. YODONO ROOKIE (10) Just missed last time here. Tomohiro Yoshimura is an advantage. Looks a value runner.

Is first-up after a break of four months and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last campaign won by 0.8 len Himeji January 22 over 1400m defeating Go To Mijoka carrying 57kg at $2.80. First up last campaign second of 15 at Niigata May 10 2025 over 1600m, a neck behind Manis with 57.0kg at $1.50. This is an ideal race to kick off. Top hope.
