Sonoda Race 1 - Race 1 - 1400
SURVIVE D'ORO (2) gets the first call despite being rolled as a short odds-on favourite on debut, because he was only beaten just over four lengths at Sonoda and should take benefit from that first race experience. DREAM CHASER (1) is the steadier alternative, with a track-and-trip win in the book and a fourth two runs back that reads better than several exposed rivals, though her latest second-last keeps the confidence in check. INGRID ROSE (9) resumes from four months off and brings stronger overall credentials, including three wins from 27 starts and a good record with Sota Hijikata, but she was beaten as a very short odds-on favourite before the break. NAVIGATOR (6) is hard to sell as a winner on recent 820m efforts, yet the class drop and return to 1400m give him a place path in a race without much depth.

Worked home only fairly when fourth behind Scallywag at Sonoda two runs back, then was second last behind Okyompi last start, beaten just over nine lengths after having the job ahead but not completely folding. The market has been cold, yet she is race fit, comes back to a track-and-trip where she has won, and this looks a suitable enough race for her to rebound if ridden closer to the action.

Led on debut at Sonoda and was beaten just over four lengths behind Wonder Aument, which was disappointing given he started a short odds-on favourite but still leaves scope for improvement. He is only one run into his career, stays at 1400m and has the inside half of the draw to use that early speed again. With natural improvement, he deserves another chance in a thin race.

Dropped out sharply after being in the right spot when last behind Camouflage at Sonoda, well beaten by 27 lengths at big odds. Her previous sixth behind Ange Bonheur was also only fair, beaten eight and a half lengths after coming under pressure late. The class-drop tag is some help, but recent form says she needs a major turnaround to threaten.

Backing up after finishing last behind Ideal Match over 1230m at Sonoda, beaten over 16 lengths, and she was tenth over 820m the run prior after settling well back and making no impression. The light weight is the clear positive, but she is still a maiden after 20 starts and is unplaced in three tries at the track and distance. Others bring stronger claims.

Returns from a two-month freshening after being second last behind Economica at Sonoda, well beaten by 23 lengths after conceding a huge start. She was also last behind Akakichino Eleven before that, beaten over 14 lengths. Her two career wins and track-and-trip background give some historical substance, but this season's form leaves her with plenty to repair.

Comes back to 1400m after two plain 820m runs at Sonoda, finishing last behind Earth Jewel last start when beaten over 17 lengths and making no late impression. The run before was similar behind Tiara Azul, albeit with a smaller margin. A class drop and weight relief give him some minor-money appeal, but a win would require a clear form reversal.

Had a placing two back at Sonoda, finishing third behind A Shin Rikyu, though the ten-length margin limits how strongly that reads. She then failed to come into the race behind Wonder Wac and was beaten over 13 lengths at long odds. Her track-and-distance placing gives a small base, but she shapes more as a place chance than a genuine winning push.

Returns from a five-week freshening after twice leading narrowly at Sonoda and then being swamped, beaten over 13 lengths behind Sannen Hanagumi and over 16 lengths behind Al Rihla. The return of a winning rider is a positive note and he has won at the track, but one placing from 20 attempts at this track and distance underlines the task.

Returns from a four-month break after finishing fourth behind Ppallippalli at Sonoda, beaten five and a half lengths as a dominant favourite at a very short odds-on quote. She had been beaten over 11 lengths behind Wonder Cuirasse the start before when near the top of betting, so trust is the question. Her overall record and rider combination still make her a sound place prospect fresh.
