Sonoda Race 4 - Race 4 - 1400
A SHIN JIKOKUTEN (1) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 12 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fifth over 1400m at this track, beaten 8 lengths. In the right race and there is no reason he cannot get the major prize. ECORO ATHENA (8) is near a win after three minor placings in a row, the latest a close second over 1400m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. SUPERBE LIEN (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when she got a long way back over 1400m at this track, beaten 6 lengths into seventh. Likely improver with strong prospects. ASK SURVIVAL (4) spotted them a big start last time out and could only manage to finish seventh over 1400m at this track. Cannot be left out of calculations.

Most recently faded in the straight 5th of 8 at this track on August 6 over 1400m, 8 len behind Shen Hu carrying 53kg at $7.30. Before that failed to make an impression; 5th of 10 at this track on July 16 over 1400m, 6 len behind Sun Linaria with 56kg at $49. Makes plenty of appeal from the inside draw.
