Sonoda Race 4 - Race 4 - 1400
FIFTH DOOR (5) Came in 4th last time here. Is capable of a resurgence but will be down in distance. In good condition since resuming from a break. Appears as a winning threat. SHIMPU KOEDO (1) Came in 5th last run at this track but drawn well. Might be ridden for luck. Will be around the mark at odds. FUDO MYO O (10) Did well when 3rd last run at the track. Tomohiro Yoshimura is a suitable booking. Don't overlook. ARATAMA OSO (6) Just average when 10th last run at this venue. Does take a while to get into stride. One to watch and an each way chance.

Has been holding a similar level without quite threatening, finishing fifth behind Sakura Top Cross at this track last start after settling rearward and being beaten just under nine lengths. The start prior was another fourth at this venue, but he was again beaten just over nine lengths at big odds. His 1400m record shows repeated placings rather than winning intent, so the minor-money claims are stronger than the win case.

Worked into second at this track last start, although she was beaten six lengths by Kowamote Hammer and did not quicken sharply. Her previous sixth behind Wonder Aument was only three and a half lengths away, so the recent form has some substance. A proven track-and-distance winner with plenty of 1400m experience, she profiles as a solid place hope if she holds that latest level.

Lifted slightly when fifth behind Tatta Tara Rira at this track last start, beaten just over six lengths after starting at huge odds. That was an improvement on the second-last behind Wonder Wac, where he settled back and made no late impression. He has won at this track and distance, but the recent market profile and the line through Fudo Myo O leave him looking more a place chance than a strong winning threat.

Has not been far away in two recent midfield finishes at this track, most recently seventh behind Best Of King when beaten five and a half lengths after settling back. Two runs ago he loomed and kept chasing behind Lily Park, again only five and a half lengths off them. His record at this track and distance is strong for this grade, and the class drop gives him a genuine winning platform.

Brings the most reliable profile in the race, with four placings from six starts and four placings from five tries at this track and distance. He was fourth over 1700m last start, beaten nine and a half lengths by A P Poetess after settling back, but his previous third behind Kurino Achiever was much sharper. Still a maiden, but the return to a proven 1400m setup gives him every chance to break through.

Was poor last start when last behind Marble Tiswa at this track, well beaten after settling rearward and weakening further in the run home. The counterpoint is his previous second to Mysterious Lady, where he was beaten only a length and a half at long odds. He has won at this trip and Wataru Hirose helps, but he must rebound sharply to be more than an each-way hope.

Has been well held at his past two, finishing eighth behind Tatta Tara Rira last start when beaten over 10 lengths. The run prior was worse, last behind Sweet Sunrise and beaten over 16 lengths after never looking a winning hope. He has minor track-and-distance placings, but the maiden record and recent margins make him a fringe chance only.

Picked up late when fifth behind Ideal Match over 1230m at this track last start, beaten just under two lengths despite being unwanted in the market. He had also made ground from well back over 820m the run before, so the recent effort level has lifted. The concern is his record at this track and distance, where he is unplaced from eight starts, leaving him with plenty to prove.

Has been badly out of form, finishing second last behind Tatta Tara Rira at this track last start when beaten over 15 lengths at huge odds. Before that he was never competitive behind Even Par and was beaten out of sight after conceding a huge start. The class drop is some help, but his recent figures leave him with too much ground to make up.

Improved to third behind Tatta Tara Rira at this track last start, beaten five and a half lengths in a much better effort than his previous second-last behind A Shin Vicugna. He is still a maiden after 23 starts, but three career placings and the booking of Tomohiro Yoshimura are positives in this grade. If he repeats the latest run, he is one of the main winning chances.
