Sonoda Race 3 - Race 3 - 1400

LAMBEAU LEAP (5) brings the clearest winning profile, with two solid Sonoda efforts this campaign and a deep record at this track and distance. He was beaten two and a half lengths as a short odds-on favourite last start, so the market has already been with him, but his consistency and third-up platform still make him the horse to beat. A SHIN BIRMAN (3) looks the main threat after improving to fourth, beaten two and a half lengths, and she has the advantage of being a recent winner within the past 12 months. WONNY (2) has a long-standing Sonoda 1400m record and improved into fourth last time, though he was unwanted in betting and profiles more as a placing chance than a dominant win hope. CASSIS ORANGE (8) finished off better over 1230m last start and the return to 1400m gives him a genuine minor-money case if he repeats that late work.

Has the right historical profile for Sonoda 1400m, with three wins and seven places from 37 starts at this track and distance, but the current form is plain. Finished seventh last start behind Sweet Sunrise, beaten over 15 lengths at big odds, after being fifth to Mysterious Lady and beaten over 12 lengths. With no clear excuse in either run, he needs a sharp turnaround.

Improved to fourth behind Okyompi last start at Sonoda, beaten just under six lengths after settling rearward, which was a better effort than his sixth to Daiboken when beaten just over nine lengths. He owns four wins and ten places from 56 starts at this track and distance, so the setup is familiar. Needs to produce earlier, but he has enough grounding to be a genuine place chance.

Ran a much sharper race at Sonoda last start, finishing fourth behind A Shin Vicugna and beaten two and a half lengths after settling handy despite being unwanted in the market. That was a clear improvement on her seventh to Thermopylae, where she was handy enough but did not finish off. With a win in the past 12 months and the right recent lift, she shapes as a serious threat.

Drops back in grade, but recent evidence leaves plenty to prove. Finished seventh in a 3yo+ C2 at Sonoda last start behind Eifer Idol, beaten over 18 lengths, after a ninth over 820m behind Blue Brave when beaten nine and a half lengths. She is still a maiden from eight starts and has been unplaced in three runs at Sonoda, so others have stronger claims.

Comes to his third run this campaign after a second to Kurino Achiever at Sonoda, beaten two and a half lengths as a short odds-on favourite after leading and being run down late. His previous fourth to Smart Rave was also sound, beaten just over a length. Seven wins and twelve places from 32 starts at this track and distance is the key, and he gets another strong chance to convert.

Led at Sonoda last start but faded into fifth behind Radiant Eye, beaten nine and a half lengths at generous odds. The run prior was weaker again, finishing eighth to Noble Festa and beaten over 18 lengths. He has placed four times from ten starts at this track and distance, and Wataru Hirose is a positive booking, but the maiden record keeps the bar high.

Has been out of form over 820m, finishing ninth at Sonoda in both recent runs and beaten over 11 lengths then over 12 lengths at big odds. The rise back to 1400m is some context, but she is unplaced from four starts at this track and distance and has not filled a place in 23 starts across the past 12 months. She needs a major form reversal.

Picked up nicely when fourth behind Jericoacoara over 1230m at Sonoda last start, beaten four lengths at generous odds, which was a better guide than his sixth to Lingus Warrior when unwanted and beaten over 11 lengths. The return to 1400m looks relevant, though his overall winning strike-rate is modest. If he sustains that latest finish, he can land in the minor money.
