Sonoda Race 4 - Race 4 - 1400
ALL THE RAGE (5) is the clear reference point despite resuming off a plain seventh, because her broader profile reads well for this level: one win and eight places from 15 starts, plus three placings from five runs at the Sonoda 1400m. The last-start margin is the caution, but the class drop gives her the right platform. CINNAMON CHOCOLAT (6) is next best, also fresh, with C1 and C2 form in the book and a record that includes three placings from nine attempts at this track and distance. BELLOTA (2) appeals as the fitter race-hardened option, having placed two runs back before an even seventh to Sunrise Nazca. YELLOW CAB (7) is harder to trust after a distant last, but his second to Hagino Aggressive two starts ago keeps him in the top-four mix if he rebounds.

Was safely held in 3yo+ C2 company at Sonoda last start, finishing eighth behind Sunrise Nazca and beaten over 12 lengths after giving herself too much to do. The run prior was similar, seventh to Etre Doue and beaten over 11 lengths at big odds. The positive is a genuine Sonoda 1400m record, with five wins and 23 places from 66 starts, so the class drop gives her minor-money claims rather than a strong winning push.

Worked home evenly when seventh behind Sunrise Nazca in 3yo+ C2 company here last start, beaten just over eight lengths after starting at long odds. Two back he was third to Etre Doue at the same venue, albeit beaten eight lengths after being unwanted in the market. He has already won at the Sonoda 1400m and gets the winning rider back, which makes him a sound place hope if he can rediscover that earlier effort.

Dropped out sharply after finding the right position last start, finishing tenth behind Elizabethtown in 3yo+ C2 grade and beaten over 13 lengths at big odds. The previous run offered even less, with a well-held seventh to Star Of Adam. His career record has some substance, but he is unplaced in nine starts across the past 12 months and must turn around a clear form slump.

Failed to finish it off when seventh behind Macho Sasupo over this course last start, beaten seven and a half lengths after being unwanted in the market. That was an improvement on the well-held second-last to Piena Felice two runs back, but the market has shown little faith in him of late. His five Sonoda 1400m wins are respected, though current form says others have stronger claims.

Resumes after four months following a disappointing seventh behind Mikiyo Wood Tail in 4yo+ C2 company at Sonoda, where she was near the top of betting but beaten over 18 lengths after making no real impression. Her previous third to Kawakita Hoku Lea was far more encouraging, and the overall record of one win and eight places from 15 starts is solid. Now with Ishibashi Mitsuru and back in class, she has the profile to bounce back strongly.

Resumes after four months with a class drop in his favour, having finished second last to Nishino Benitoite in 4yo+ C2 grade at Sonoda when beaten six and a half lengths at big odds. Two back he was fifth in 4yo+ C1 company behind G T Eight after making some late ground from an impossible position. Three placings from nine runs at this track and distance give him enough grounding to be a serious player fresh.

Finished a distant last behind Squid Run last start and there was no obvious excuse, so that run has to be treated with caution. The better guide is his previous second to Hagino Aggressive, when he led and was only run down late, beaten two and a half lengths. Ten wins and 18 places from 94 starts with Tatsuya Takemura is a useful pointer, and he can lift into the placings if he repeats his best recent run.

Settled rearward and finished last behind Vomero at Sonoda last start, beaten a long way after starting at long odds. The run prior was also poor, last behind Caro Avanti and beaten over 18 lengths after making no ground. The class drop and light weight are positives on paper, and he has won three times at this track and distance, but his current form leaves a lot to repair.
