Sonoda Race 4 - Race 4 - 1400
HONKITO KAITE MAJI (3) maiden galloper in first campaign. Has been out of the money recently including last start when fourth over 1400m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago, beaten 2.25 lengths. Terrific chance to return to form. SUCCESS BREAK (4) is in the right form, last time out finishing second over 1400m at this track. Well placed to find winning ways. VIP LUKE (6) dropped out from the rails draw before closing late to finish fifth over 1400m at this track last start. Sure to be winding up late and can feature. ARABIAN D'ORO (7) returned from a spell two-and-a-half weeks ago when he was disappointing when 12th over 1870m at this track. Strips fitter and can improve.

At the latest run rolled along in front before being edged out 2nd of 8 at this track on April 29 over 1400m, 3 len behind A Shin Billboard with 54kg at $27.80. Before that raced on the pace before fading 10th of 12 at this track on April 9 over 1400m, 16 len behind Sky No Haru with 54kg at $336. Even the minor placings look out of reach.
