Sonoda Race 3 - Race 3 - 820
AKANENO SORA (8) was well in commission last start over 820m at this track when third, beaten 2.75 lengths. Worth another chance with a nice profile for this. XIAOWUYING (5) wasn't far away on debut last start over 820m at this track, finishing second and beaten a head. Likely improver who is expected to be in the finish. WADA KATSU (2) went forward over 820m at this track on debut last start but found one better. Capable of testing this field. LE JOUET (3) is back from a spell of three months. Debuted with a second, beaten 5 lengths, over 820m at this track at her only appearance to date. Ticks all the right boxes.

Jumped as a despised roughie at debut, ran second last of 13 at Kokura on July 4 over 1200m, 25 len behind Bluechip carrying 55.0kg at $281.30. Cannot enthuse after that sub-standard performance.

At debut, rolled along in front before being edged out 2nd of 8 at this track on August 5 over 820m, 3 len behind One Noel carrying 56kg at $5.70. Encouraging signs on debut and another big run is likely.

Third race start today. At big odds at debut, 4th in a small field at this track on July 9 over 820m, 10 len behind God's Favorite with 55kg at $49.60. Second-up ran last in a small field at this track on July 31 over 820m, 20 len behind Eagle Logo carrying 55kg at $80.40. Not doing enough to threaten the top few today.

Recent form sound. Most recently 4th of 12 at this track on August 14 over 1230m, 9 len behind Methode carrying 56kg at $25.50. The race before that 3rd in a small field at this track on July 24 over 1400m, 5 len behind Copano Edo Series with 56kg at $20.60. Beaten comfortably last start but is capable of better.

Having third race start. At debut, tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd in a small field at this track on July 9 over 820m, head behind God's Favorite with 54kg at $6.30. Last start 3rd in a small field at this track on July 31 over 820m, 2.75 len behind Eagle Logo with 54kg at $1.70. Well-placed and should prove hard to beat.
