Sonoda Race 1 - Race 1 - 1400

O SHIN BOMBER (6) sets the benchmark after being beaten a neck by Scallywag at Sonoda as an odds-on favourite, and his recent 1400m form looks the most reliable in a modest race. BLEU VERT (9) resumes after six months and must overcome plain closing efforts in March, but five wins at this track and distance keep him firmly in the discussion if he returns in order. AIR ZAKYNTHOS (4) was beaten over 13 lengths first-up, yet his Sonoda 1400m record and second-up scope give him a stronger case than that bare result. CROSS KNOT (7) remains winless from 18 starts, though recent margins keep him competitive at this level. METAL METALLICA (8) should be handy and is better suited back at 1400m.

Returns after six weeks on the sidelines following a fourth at Sonoda in 3yo+ C3 grade, beaten four lengths by A Shin Reaper after settling rearward at big odds. The start prior was a sixth here, beaten five and a half lengths, when handy enough but unable to finish off. Proven track-and-trip form and a previous win with Toyokazu Tano help, but the veteran needs the race to fall his way.

Comments

Latest run offered little encouragement, finishing last at Sonoda in 3yo+ C3 grade after conceding a huge start and never getting involved. He had been beaten over 16 lengths over 820m here before that and again settled rearward. Still unplaced from ten starts, including five at this track and distance, so a major lift is required.

Comments

Safely held in both recent Sonoda runs, finishing seventh last start when beaten over 19 lengths after sitting just off the leaders and offering little. The previous seventh, beaten over 16 lengths, was not much stronger despite racing prominently. Unplaced from ten starts overall and four at this track and distance, she needs to find sharper late effort.

Second-up now after finishing last at Sonoda, beaten over 13 lengths by Smart Kanathos when asked to make up too much ground. The previous run in 4yo+ C2 grade was also plain, but the return to a suitable 1400m setup matters: two wins and one place from nine starts at this track and distance. If he settles closer, his best local form puts him right in the race.

Comments

Narrowly missed at Sonoda last start, beaten a neck by Scallywag in 3yo+ C3 grade after being sent out an odds-on favourite and getting pipped late. He had also started odds-on when fourth here the run prior, beaten just under four lengths, so the market has consistently respected him. Still a maiden, but two placings from five at this track and distance make him the most solid winning case.

Has not won in 18 starts, which is the obvious restraint, but his last-start sixth at Sonoda was only beaten four and a half lengths by Baby Vagy after failing to finish off. Two back he led and worked home evenly when fifth, beaten just under eight lengths by Civic Charles. The market has not wanted him lately, yet this field is weak enough for him to be a genuine contender if he sustains his run.

Back on a one-week turnaround after finishing seventh over 1230m at Sonoda, beaten just over eight lengths by Jericoacoara when in the right spot but offering little. The start prior was better, leading over the same trip before finishing fifth, beaten three and a half lengths. The rise to 1400m is noted as positive and he has placed regularly across his career, so minor money looks the more realistic aim.

Resumes after a six-month break following a seventh at Sonoda in 4yo+ C3 grade, beaten over 10 lengths by Dinan when he failed to finish off. His prior sixth at Himeji was also well held, though he was near the top of an open market that day. The appeal is his proven Sonoda 1400m record, with five wins and three places from 33 starts, plus weight relief. Freshness is the main query, not the venue.
