Sonoda Race 2 - Race 2 - 1400
HIRO SHIGE WONDER (2) returns from a three-month break with the strongest winning profile after placing on debut over 820m at Sonoda, beaten just over two lengths as a well-supported favourite behind Lagertha. The rise to 1400m is a fair query, but that first run showed enough and F Komaki's booking adds to the case. A SHIN FULL BEAM (6) was runner-up here on debut as a very short odds-on favourite, and while beaten four lengths by Peridot, he led and still finished off, so natural second-up improvement keeps him right in the contest. RINGO HIME (7) has more to prove after a sixth to Maru Thunder, but she is lightly raced and profiles as an improver rather than exposed. ITOSHINO FURSA (4) has the clearest recent 1400m placing, with two placings from two attempts at the trip, though her last-start second came in a small field and she tired late.

Was plain last week at Sonoda, settling a long way back and finishing second last behind Cherry Squall, beaten over 16 lengths despite being near the top of an open market. The start prior produced a third, but that was still beaten over 15 lengths at big odds. His overall place record is sound for a maiden, yet he is only a rough each-way prospect unless he rebounds sharply.

Returns from a three-month break after a debut third over 820m at Sonoda, beaten just over two lengths as a well-supported favourite behind Lagertha. The rise to 1400m is the new test, but that first run showed genuine promise and he has already placed at this track. Barrier two gives him options, and with F Komaki taking the ride, he makes a confident winning case.

Failed to build on her debut placing when fifth at Sonoda last start, finishing a distant last after settling rearward and weakening further at long odds. Her first run had more substance, running second to Maru Thunder over this distance, beaten five lengths. Third-up fitness and class relief help, but she must recover that debut form before appealing as a serious threat.

Returned to the placings when second over 1400m at Sonoda last start, but the margin was seven lengths in a five-runner field and she could not quicken after looking ready to strike. Her 1230m run prior was plain at long odds, so the win case is not watertight. The light weight and two placings from two attempts at this trip keep her in the minor-money mix.

Has been well held at all three starts, most recently last of five at Sonoda and beaten over 14 lengths by Copano Jamaica at long odds. The run prior was even weaker, dropping out sharply after being close enough to improve over 1230m. Class relief and race fitness are small positives, but he has to find a far stronger finish to trouble these.

Produced a solid debut when second over 820m at Sonoda, beaten four lengths by Peridot after leading and finishing off despite starting a very short odds-on favourite. The move to 1400m is the main query, but he has race experience, stays at the same venue and keeps the leading local rider Tomohiro Yoshimura. The recent-form profile is strong enough to keep him right in the winning discussion.

Returns after four weeks away following a debut sixth at Sonoda behind Maru Thunder, where she was in touch but failed to threaten and was beaten over 11 lengths at generous odds. There was no obvious excuse, so improvement has to come through race experience and the class drop. Still lightly raced enough to lift, she looks more a place chance than a winning threat.
