Sonoda Race 4 - Race 4 - 1400

CINNAMON CHOCOLAT (1) gets top billing after a first-up win at this track, where he sat close and beat All The Rage by a length at generous odds. The run before was plain, but he has ten starts at this track and distance for one win and three placings, and the winning rider stays aboard. YAZAN (6) is the main danger: he was sent out favourite and beat Mosho by a length and a half last start, with his 1400m record reading one win and two placings from three tries. ALOHA MAU LOA (2) brings the biggest last-start margin, putting five lengths on Astrit as the odds-on favourite, although her previous fourth behind Otokono Roman was a reminder she must sustain that level. COOL BRAVE (8) is harder to line up after a long-odds win following a heavy defeat, but the way she finished off to beat M Zak Dream gives her a genuine place-to-win chance if that improvement holds.

Second-up after a sharp 3yo+ C3 win at this track, sitting close and letting down to beat All The Rage by a length at generous odds. The previous run was plain when second last behind Nishino Benitoite, but this track-and-trip record gives the rebound substance. With Kosuke Takahashi back and that latest win rating strongly, he has the right profile to go on with it.

Produced the clearest winning margin in the field last start, holding a narrow advantage before putting Astrit away by five lengths in 3yo+ C3 company as the odds-on favourite. The run before was a flat fourth behind Otokono Roman when she did not quicken, so the task is to hold that latest level. Her season record is solid and she shapes as a genuine place player.

Sprang a surprise at this venue last start, sweeping home from well back to beat Annabelle Diamante by a neck despite being unwanted in the market. That was a marked turnaround from his second-last behind Civic Charles, when beaten over 17 lengths after conceding a huge start. Proven at the track and distance, but he must show the latest run was no one-off.

Found his race three weeks ago, letting down to beat Do Anything by half a length in a 3yo+ C3 at this track when well found in betting. That followed a sixth behind Mysterious Lady, beaten over 12 lengths after coming under pressure late. Third-up fitness and a sound track-and-distance record help, though he profiles more as a minor hope than a leading winning chance.

Has been safely held in two recent 3yo+ C2 runs at this track, finishing seventh behind Long Seller Ask after getting the right run and offering little. She was also eighth behind Daiboken, beaten over 20 lengths, so the class relief has plenty of work to do. Her long track-and-trip experience is noted, but a sharp lift is required.

Continued a strong campaign pattern last start, sent out favourite and beating Mosho by a length and a half in a 3yo+ C3 at this track while strong through the line. His second to Fukuno Fear None beforehand was sound enough, and he now gets to a third-up run with one win and two placings from three tries at 1400m. With Sota Hijikata retaining the ride, the latest win looks repeatable.

Was not disgraced when fourth behind Rebecca Rainbow in a 3yo+ C2 at this track, beaten just over four lengths, but she was long odds and failed to finish it off. Two back she only just landed a 3yo+ C3 as a short odds-on favourite, beating Kowamote Hammer by a nose. That leaves her with work to do against the better recent winners.

Rebounded from a heavy defeat to score at this track last start, finishing powerfully to beat M Zak Dream by a length in 3yo+ C3 company at long odds. The concern is the prior last behind Teikei Holomua, where she faded late and was beaten a long way. With Osamu Shimohara back aboard, she has a realistic place case if the turnaround holds.
