Sonoda Race 2 - Race 2 - 1400
PAJARO AZUL (1) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 1.3 lengths over today's trip at this track. Has a good record at this course and distance, including a win and two placings. In form and should go well again. GRAND MAIS (10) improved last start to finish third over 1400m at this track after being prominent at the corner. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. J PACK (9) is back after a break of ten weeks. At the last run before the layoff she finished eighth over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Among the chances while fresh at this level. GRAPHOS (12) is a last-start winner three weeks ago, scoring by 2.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. One of the main contenders.

Second run back. First-up after nine months set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 12 at this track on June 5 over 1400m, neck behind Success Break carrying 56kg at $3.70. Previously second-up won by 1.5 len at Monbetsu May 27 2025 over 1100m defeating Earth Blue carrying 55kg at $1.70. Should progress from that first-up run.
