Sonoda Race 1 - Race 1 - 1400
WAKINO ARIES (1) is the one to beat despite resuming, with her last campaign built around consistent C3 fourths and stronger overall figures than most of these. She has placed four times in the past 12 months, has handled this distance range often enough to be trusted, and F Komaki returning is a meaningful positive. BAIA SPECTER (8) brings a plain recent form line on the surface, but the class drop and top recent rating make her the main danger if she can produce a sharper finish than last start. STEINER (4) has been well beaten at his past two, yet he owns far more 1400m experience than many in this and has previously won around the trip, so he can improve into a placing. TREASURE HOUSE (3) is harder to line up after two poor 820m runs and now tries 1400m for the first time, but the easier setup gives her some hope of lifting into the finish.

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending last campaign with a fourth in 4yo+ C3 at this track, beaten six and a half lengths after settling rearward. She had also been fourth over 1230m at this venue, beaten four and a half lengths as an outside chance in betting. Yet to win from 16 starts, but four placings in the past 12 months and F Komaki back aboard give her the soundest winning profile.

Has been out of form for some time and was only fair through the line when seventh in 3yo+ C3 at this track, beaten seven and a half lengths at big odds. Two back she was last behind A Shin Rikyu, beaten over 16 lengths after making no impression late. The class drop and race fitness help slightly, but a 67-start maiden record leaves her with plenty to turn around.

Steps from 820m to an untried 1400m after finishing second last behind Pomme at this track, beaten over 14 lengths when unable to quicken after having her chance. She was also well held over 820m two back. The class drop gives some assistance and she is race fit, but the 19-start maiden record and new distance make this a place-only profile unless she improves sharply.

Recent form is plain, with a sixth behind Crown Ocean at this track last start when beaten over 12 lengths after giving away too big a start. He had been unwanted in the market and beaten over 18 lengths two back. The counter is his long 1400m background, including one win and nine placings at the distance range, so he is better treated as a minor hope than a confident winning play.

Finished sixth behind Annabelle Diamante here three weeks ago, beaten seven and a half lengths after failing to finish it off. The run prior was much worse, finishing a distant last behind Even Par when unwanted in the market. Unplaced in all 17 starts and also unplaced from 11 attempts at this track and distance, he has to make a substantial leap.

Was seventh behind Crown Ocean at this track last start, beaten over 12 lengths after offering little in the closing stages. That followed a tailed-off second last behind Even Par, so the recent figures are difficult to endorse. She carries only 51kg and is race fit, but 46 starts without a win and no placing from 15 track-and-distance runs are major knocks.

Has the best historical record in the field, with eight career wins and proven track-and-trip form, but the current form is a long way below that level. She was well held behind Camouflage last start after fading in the run home, following a last behind Ange Bonheur. Weight relief and a class drop are positives, yet her past 12 months have produced no placings from 20 runs.

Comes through stronger recent ratings than the bare results suggest and now finds a more suitable assignment. She was sixth behind Wonder Wac at this track last start, beaten over 11 lengths after failing to finish off, and had been safely held behind Sannen Hanagumi before that. The margins are a query, but the class drop and race fitness give her a genuine chance to rebound.
