Sonoda Race 1 - Race 1 - 1400
SURVIVE D'ORO (5) is the top pick despite still being a maiden after two starts, with the market respect at both runs pointing to more than the bare form shows. He was short odds-on on debut when beaten just over four lengths, then was again near the top of betting when fifth behind Ingrid Rose, and third-up in this grade gives him the right platform to improve. TAIKI CHRONICLE (10) has to rebound from a last-start failure, but his best recent rating around this distance keeps him firmly in the winning mix and the quick return gives him a chance to correct that plain effort. SUCCESS CANON (1) has the most reliable track-and-distance substance, coming off a third to Ingrid Rose and holding two wins at the course and trip, so she is a genuine threat if she backs up that improvement. PALE BLUE DOT (7) is harder to trust after a flat latest run, though the narrow second two back shows enough to keep him in the minor winning discussion if he returns to that level.

Improved sharply when third in a 3yo+ C3 at this track last start, beaten just under six lengths by Ingrid Rose after being right there without seriously threatening the winner. The previous run was plain when second last and well beaten by 23 lengths, but she is proven at this track and distance with two wins and two further placings from 17 attempts. With the winning rider back, she rates as a solid winning chance.

Has been safely held in two recent 3yo+ C3 runs at this venue, finishing sixth last start when beaten over 11 lengths after never looking a winning hope. The run prior was no stronger, with an eighth beaten over 15 lengths and the market again showing little interest. Her past wins at the trip are noted, but current form leaves her with a substantial task.

Was beaten out of sight when second last at this track a fortnight ago, settling handy before finishing a long way from Ingrid Rose. That followed a last placing over 820m when big odds and unable to make any late impression. He remains winless from 102 starts and is unplaced in 39 attempts at this track and distance, so a major form turnaround is required.

Recent form is difficult to recommend, with a last placing over 820m at this track when beaten over 14 lengths after making no impression from the rear. He had been beaten over 12 lengths at the same trip the start prior and was at huge odds on both occasions. His one 1400m win and nine placings give some background, but the current level is well short of what is required.

Has been strongly respected by the market in both starts and now reaches the third run of the campaign, which is a key positive for a lightly raced colt. He was fifth behind Ingrid Rose last start, beaten over 11 lengths, but had again shown enough early race intent after starting near the top of betting. His debut seventh was only just over four lengths from Wonder Aument, and further improvement makes him the one to beat.

Failed to finish off when last over 820m at this track three weeks ago, beaten over 13 lengths after being close enough at the turn. Her previous fourth was much better, beaten a length and a half on good ground after travelling behind the leaders. The step back to 1400m is a genuine query given she is unplaced in 11 tries at this track and distance, leaving her as a rough minor hope only.

Dropped out tamely when last at this track three weeks ago, beaten over 16 lengths by High Love Henin after giving little from the home turn. The run prior was much stronger, finishing second over 820m and beaten only a neck despite being unwanted in the market. The 1400m record remains a query, but that recent placing keeps him in the frame for a minor result.

Finished seventh at this track last start, beaten just over nine lengths after failing to come into the race. The start prior was also disappointing, as he led before being claimed and dropping out to be beaten over 12 lengths. His overall 1400m record is sound enough, with four wins and 12 placings at around the trip, but his latest form says others have stronger claims.

Was never competitive and beaten out of sight when last behind Ingrid Rose at this track last start, having also been beaten over 13 lengths two runs back after being swamped from a narrow lead. He has been beaten by Success Canon and Survive D'oro recently, and even with some weight relief, the exposed form this campaign leaves him with plenty to find.

Comes back quickly after finishing last at this track last week, beaten over 16 lengths by Coeur Briller after having the drop on the leaders but giving nothing late. That is an obvious concern, though his fourth behind Camouflage two runs ago reads better than the margin and he is rated strongly on recent 1400m form. With a leading jockey booked, he can rebound in this grade.
