Sonoda Race 4 - Race 4 - 1400
BELLE DEESSE (6) Ran 4th last run at the track. Should bounce back and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Racing consistently this campaign. Will be in the finish. CIVIC TARUMAIN (2) Placed 3rd last run at the track and good career start. Very competitive this campaign and can find a nice position from the draw. Can win this. GOLD BREGUET (7) Finished 6th last time at this track. Has the ability to take this out. XIAOWUYING (8) Struggled when 4th last time around here. Likely to be well placed early. Komaki Futoshi and Shinichirou Saika command respect as a pairing. Follow market leads.

Has offered little in two starts, most recently finishing second last over 820m at this track when well beaten by Ninen Tsuki Gumi after being well back and making no impression. His debut was also poor, beaten out of sight behind Joy D'Or in a small field. The class drop and race fitness are positives, but he has already failed once around this trip and must lift sharply.

Has built a solid platform with placings at his past two starts, running third to Mo Mo Shine over 1230m at this track after working home evenly. That followed a second to Siena Grace when he travelled well to the turn, and the market has respected him in both runs. The 1400m is new territory, but his consistency and race fitness keep him high among the winning hopes.

Was in a position to run better last start but dropped out to finish ninth, beaten over 16 lengths behind Cherry Squall at this venue. His debut fourth behind Joy D'Or involved making some late ground, though he was still tailed off and at long odds. He has been beaten by Aoino Ikoro recently and will have to find a much stronger finish to trouble these.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing last on debut at this track, beaten out of sight behind Maru Thunder at big odds. She conceded a huge start and was never in the race, so there was no real positive to take from the performance. The class drop is a small aid second-up, but she has to show far more early competitiveness before she can be entertained.

Finished last over 1230m at this track last start, beaten a long way by Angelus Ring after settling miles back and failing to improve. His debut fourth behind Copano Jamaica was better, beaten eight and a half lengths after being close enough at the turn before fading. The move to 1400m is untried, so he looks more a minor-money hope if he can recapture that first-start effort.

Brings the best sustained form in the race, with four placings from five starts and three placings from four at this track and distance. She was fourth to Bhadra last start, beaten two and a half lengths despite being unwanted in the market, after a sound third behind Methode. With Wataru Hirose back aboard and the class drop in her favour, she gets a strong chance to break through.

Has been safely held at his past two, finishing sixth behind Cherry Squall last start when beaten over 14 lengths after being in touch and offering little. He was also tenth behind Rock On D'Oro the run prior, beaten over 12 lengths at big odds. A previous placing at the distance gives him a small base, but the recent form leaves him with a sizeable task.

Was expected to run well last start but finished fourth in a five-horse field behind Copano Jamaica, beaten over 14 lengths. The in-running note says she picked up, yet the margin still makes the run hard to rate too highly. She was also well beaten over 820m two back when near the top of betting. Her overall profile keeps her in the place mix, not as a clear winning play.

Produced his best recent effort when second to Cherry Squall at this track last start, beaten three and a half lengths after looking out of it before finishing strongly. That was a clear return to competitiveness after a seventh behind Rock On D'Oro on rain-affected ground. He has placed once from four at this track and distance, and that latest surge puts him firmly in the winning discussion.

Led two starts back when fifth to Princess Road, beaten just over four lengths, then again finished fifth behind Cherry Squall last time after failing to finish it off. She carries only 51kg and is race fit, which helps her case, but she was unwanted in the market last start and remains unplaced from three runs. A minor placing is possible if she sustains her effort longer.

Improved sharply when second to Princess Road over 1230m at this track last start, beaten three and a half lengths after starting at generous odds. That was a much better run than her prior sixth when tailed off behind Bhadra, so the challenge is to hold that level. Weight relief helps, but she is unplaced from two previous goes around 1400m and profiles as an each-way supporting chance.

Has been tailed off at her past two starts, most recently finishing second last behind Bhadra after settling rearward and weakening further late. She was also well beaten by Mo Mo Impact in a small field the run before, and the market has shown little interest. Her record at this track and distance is five starts without a placing, so a form reversal would be required.
