Sonoda Race 3 - Race 3 - 1400
COPANO JAMAICA (1) sets the standard after winning on debut at Sonoda over 820m, scoring by two and a half lengths as favourite from Ninen Tsuki Gumi. The move to 1400m is the key unknown, but he has already shown professionalism under race pressure and retains the services of Tomohiro Yoshimura. XIAOWUYING (5) has the clearest counterpunch on debut evidence, having been beaten a head by Brave Ten, though her last-start fifth behind Le Jouet was a backward step after being near the top of betting. ITOSHINO FURSA (2) gets in with 51kg and has a distance placing in the record, but her latest eighth behind Rock On D'Oro was plain. CRYING AVENUE (4) has race experience and a Sonoda placing, yet must find sharper acceleration.

Made an excellent start to the career when winning over 820m at Sonoda, scoring by two and a half lengths as favourite from Ninen Tsuki Gumi. He travelled behind the leaders and was ready to pounce at the turn, suggesting the performance was no fluke. The leap to 1400m is the obvious test, but barrier 1 and Tomohiro Yoshimura staying aboard give this unbeaten colt the right credentials to hold top billing.

Gets useful relief down to 51kg and is third-up, which helps her case after finishing eighth over 1230m at Sonoda, beaten eight and a half lengths behind Rock On D'Oro at big odds. Her debut second showed some promise, though she was still well beaten by Joy D'Or and could not quicken when required. A distance placing keeps her in the mix for minor money, but she needs a cleaner finishing response.

Has yet to show enough in two Sonoda runs, finishing second last over 1230m most recently when well beaten by 21 lengths behind Nippon Seira and unwanted in the market. His debut seventh over 820m was also plain, beaten over 12 lengths at long odds after offering little late. The class drop is some help, but the rise to 1400m asks for a sizeable turnaround.

Tracked the speed over 1230m at Sonoda last start but did not quicken, finishing seventh and beaten over 14 lengths behind Nippon Seira at generous odds. The prior third over 820m gives him a small foothold, although that was in a small field and he was beaten seven and a half lengths. Race fitness helps, but the 1400m task demands more substance late.

Was disappointing over 820m at Sonoda last start, finishing fifth and beaten over 12 lengths behind Le Jouet after being near the top of betting and still well back at the turn. Her debut second reads much better, beaten a head by Brave Ten after picking up strongly from the rear. Third-up improvement is possible, but the rise to 1400m means she must stay in touch to turn that finish into a serious threat.
