Sonoda Race 5 - Race 5 - 1400
EVEN PAR (4) looks the one with the most upside, having been beaten only half a length on debut before returning to Sonoda and winning by a long way over 1400m as a very short odds-on favourite. The form is still lightly exposed, but the progression is clear. NOBLE FESTA (2) brings the more seasoned profile, with a strong track-and-distance record and a last-start second to Daiboken after fighting hard late, so she is the main danger on reliability. OKYOMPI (10) was highly convincing when beating Wonder Etoile by four lengths first-up and his two wins from three starts at this course and distance make him a genuine threat, though this asks him to back that up at a deeper level. MEISHO MEGOHIME (9) was placed here as favourite last time and had been sound over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt prior, but she still has to turn consistent minor money into a win.

Lifted marginally when fourth at Sonoda last start in a 3yo+ C2, but she was still beaten seven lengths after leading and only working home evenly. The run prior was a second last over 820m here, beaten seven and a half lengths at long odds. She has won at the track, but the overall record remains thin and she needs a clear form spike to trouble the better chances.

Went close at Sonoda last start, holding a narrow lead and fighting hard before being beaten a length and a half by Daiboken in a 3yo+ C2. That followed a dominant 3yo+ C3 win here, when she beat Siena King by three and a half lengths as a short odds-on favourite. With two wins and five places from ten runs at this track and distance, she has a strong winning platform.

Had no obvious excuse when eighth at Sonoda last start, settling back and making no impression late before finishing beaten over 11 lengths by Rebecca Rainbow. The sharper reference point is his 3yo+ C3 win here two back, when he beat Namura Danny by a neck as favourite. He can rebound into the minor money, but the latest run leaves a winning query.

Created a strong impression at Sonoda last start, winning a 3yo+ C3 by a long way over 1400m after being heavily supported into very short odds-on territory. His debut second to Bud Rosy, beaten half a length as an odds-on favourite, had already shown ability. He has tactical speed, is third-up, and his two-start profile gives him the clearest upside in the race.

Was near the top of an open market last start but could manage only sixth at Sonoda, beaten seven and a half lengths after lacking a change of gears late. Her previous fourth here was also plain, beaten eight lengths by Taishin at big odds. Two wins from six at this track and distance offer some support, but recent efforts say she must improve sharply.

Finished tenth at Sonoda last start, beaten over 13 lengths by Rebecca Rainbow after settling rearward and failing to make ground. His Morioka Dirt third two back was better, albeit beaten three lengths at big odds. The concern is his Sonoda 1400m record, with no placing from six attempts, so he needs a sizeable turnaround.

Placed at Sonoda last start, but the margin tells the story: second, beaten eight lengths by Vomero after being close enough and battling into the minor money. Her prior fifth here was more competitive, beaten just under four lengths by Io Sea One at long odds. She has depth in her track-and-distance record, yet others bring a sharper winning case.

Disappointed at Sonoda last start when ninth, beaten over 10 lengths by Ai Towa after tracking the speed and failing to quicken. The run prior was a second in a small field, but she was beaten five lengths as a heavily backed odds-on favourite. Still winless after seven starts, she is more credible as a place hope than a winning play.

Worked home evenly for third at Sonoda last start, but as a short odds-on favourite she was entitled to get closer than five and a half lengths behind Sunrise Nazca. Before that she was seventh over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt, beaten just over four lengths by Unnatamsa. She has placed three times from eleven starts, which keeps her in the exotics rather than on top.

Returned in excellent order at Sonoda, winning a 3yo+ C3 by four lengths over this course and distance after strong market support. His previous run in April was also sound in 4yo+ C2 grade, finishing fourth and beaten just under three lengths by Otembamusume. With three wins from four starts this season and two wins from three here at 1400m, he is a genuine winning threat.
