Sonoda Race 5 - Race 5 - 1400
DERMA SATURN (9) Back from a break. Placed 3rd last time around here and will be well suited at the trip. Tatsuya Takemura rates highly aboard. Will give a big sight. DO ANYTHING (10) Tidy run when 2nd last start at the track. Been in the placegetters each start this campaign. Should be rolling forward early from the wide draw. Looks promising in this race. O SHIN ANGEL (2) Came in 2nd last time at the track and drawn nicely. Good to see Souta Hijikata is jumping on. Will be hitting the line strongly. Stays under notice. LIVING LOVE (5) Ran well when 2nd last start at this track. Has claims.

Has been safely held at both recent starts, finishing seventh at this track last time in a 3yo+ C3 when beaten over 18 lengths by Cresco Taishi after settling miles back. He was also eighth here the run prior, beaten over 15 lengths at big odds. A prior track-and-distance win is noted, but the current form leaves him with a lot to turn around.

Closed off strongly for second at this track last start, beaten just under a length by Meisho Rise after starting at big odds. His previous fifth behind Aloha Mau Loa also had some merit, with the run suggesting he was picking up late. Four wins at this track and distance and a solid record with this jockey make him a genuine winning chance in this line-up.

Finished eighth at this track last start, beaten over 16 lengths by Marble Tiswa after giving away a big start and never getting into the contest. Two back she was fifth in 3yo+ C2 grade but still beaten over 13 lengths. Her past 1400m record is respectable, yet recent efforts have been too plain to recommend with confidence.

Worked home evenly for second at this track last start, but the margin was still five lengths behind Lambeau Leap. That was a better result than her seventh two back in 3yo+ C2 grade, where she was beaten over 18 lengths after being out of play. Still a maiden after nine starts, she has place upside but must find more to win.

Has not threatened in her past two runs, finishing sixth at this track last start when beaten over 17 lengths by Cresco Taishi after having the job ahead throughout. The start prior was a seventh in 3yo+ C2 grade, beaten over 13 lengths at long odds. Her track-and-distance place record is fair, but recent form is well short of what is required.

Has put together consecutive thirds at this track, most recently beaten just over a length by Best Of King despite being unwanted in the market. The run prior was honest enough behind Cross Knot, though he only battled on late. With no win in the past 12 months but regular placings, he profiles as a sound place hope rather than a horse to declare on top.

Comes back from a 1700m run where he finished sixth at this track, beaten over 11 lengths by A P Poetess after settling handy. The previous sixth behind Yazan was similar, with no late impact. The positive is his four wins and eight placings from 29 starts at this track and distance, which keeps him in the minor-money mix if he lifts on recent efforts.

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending last campaign with a third at this track, beaten five and a half lengths by Andermatt as favourite. The run prior was a determined win over Bradshaw, and his overall profile is strong: three wins and two placings from 10 starts, including a perfect top-three record at this track and distance. Fresh, he has the right form to be hardest to beat.

Has gone close in both runs this campaign, finishing second at this track two back before being pipped by Patrol Run last start when odds-on favourite. He is now third-up, with five wins and 20 placings from 43 starts showing his reliability. The wide barrier is a consideration, but his current form is solid enough to keep him right in the finish.
