Sonoda Race 4 - Race 4 - 1400
I'M A QUEEN (3) is the clear starting point after a Sonoda 1400m win as odds-on favourite, and her track-and-trip record of two wins and two placings from four gives her the most dependable profile. She had been beaten only a head here the start before, so the form pattern is strong and current. SELVAGGIO (2) has not won from six starts, but her Chukyo mile efforts against 3yo Maiden company were close enough, with market respect both times, and the class drop makes her the main danger if she handles 1400m. ECONOMICA (4) comes through reliable Sonoda form, winning two back before a two-length second to Bellagio Rao, and her recent run of results makes her a genuine threat despite being more exposed. YAMANO IMPACT (6) adds each-way depth after a strong-finishing Kochi third first-up, with his 1400m record giving him a pathway into the finish if he brings that closing effort to Sonoda.

Returns from a two-month break after finishing eighth in a 3yo Maiden at Chukyo Dirt, beaten just over seven lengths by Panthers at big odds. The effort was honest enough without threatening, while his previous Kokura Dirt run was weaker when beaten over 11 lengths. Two placings from four attempts at this distance keep him in the minor mix, but he has to find a sharper finish to win.

Returns from a five-week let-up after a sound seventh in a 3yo Maiden over 1600m at Chukyo, beaten two and a half lengths by Ham Tan after settling rearward. She had been fourth to Falcata at the same venue prior and was near the top of betting both times. Back to 1400m is the main query, but the class drop and consistent market respect make her a strong winning player.

Arrives in excellent order after winning a 3yo+ C2 here over this trip, scoring by a neck from Miyaji Mamiko as an odds-on favourite after tracking the leader and lifting late. That backed up a narrow second to Namura Otto at Sonoda, and her track-and-trip record reads two wins and two placings from four. With the winning rider staying aboard, she brings the most reliable winning profile.

Held form strongly when second to Bellagio Rao here, beaten two lengths at generous odds after getting the right run and keeping on. She had led throughout to beat Texas Twister by just over a length at Sonoda the start before, again at outsider odds. A 20-start track-and-trip record says she is exposed, but recent results and rider familiarity give her a live winning chance.

Produced a sharp finish to beat Fuku Hualien at Sonoda last start, scoring by just over a length at generous odds. His fourth to Caro Avanti two back was less compelling, beaten six and a half lengths after being near the top of an open market. A strong Sonoda 1400m record and Tomohiro Yoshimura help, but 58kg leaves him with more to do than that win alone suggests.

Closed hard for third at Kochi first-up in a 3yo+ C2, beaten just under four lengths by Logan Pass at big odds after looking well out of the contest. He had won over the same course prior, charging home to beat Al Malikat Saba by a neck in 3yo+ C3 grade. New to Sonoda, but one win and two placings from five at the trip make him a genuine place chance.

Returns from a two-month break after a much better Sonoda second in a 3yo COND, beaten three lengths by Oabare after leading and only being overrun late. That was a clear lift from her Hanshin 13th at 270.1 odds, so the improvement was genuine but still has to be repeated. With F Komaki booked and proven here once, she appeals more as a place hope than a win anchor.

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing second last in a 3yo Maiden over 2000m at Sapporo, beaten nine lengths by Derma Fuji when failing to muster in the straight. Two back he did close into third behind Wilson at big odds, so there is a glimpse of form, but the drop back to 1400m asks him to sharpen right up. Others bring cleaner recent evidence.

Was beaten out of sight over 1870m at Sonoda first-up, giving nothing in the run home behind Tagano Diosa. His previous Hanshin Dirt run was also plain, finishing tenth and beaten over 12 lengths at long odds. The shorter trip and returning rider provide some change, but he must show far more before he appeals as a betting option.

Worked home evenly for third behind Hishi Cullinan at Sonoda last start, beaten just under three lengths after being sent out favourite. That was a step up from his Chukyo Dirt seventh when unwanted in the market, and he has placed at both Sonoda starts. Even so, the beaten-favourite tag leaves him with something to prove against stronger winning profiles.
