Sonoda Race 2 - Race 2 - 1400
COPANO JAMAICA (7) has built the cleanest winning profile, unbeaten in two starts at this venue and coming off a seven-length win as a dominant odds-on favourite. He has already won at 1400m and the third-up set-up gives him every chance to keep progressing. GOD'S FAVORITE (5) is the clear danger on consistency, having finished second at her past two runs and never missing a place in three attempts at this track and distance. BRAVE TEN (2) returns after winning on debut as a well-supported favourite, although he has not yet raced around 1400m, so the new trip is the point to prove. LAGERTHA (6) also resumes from a debut win, scoring by two lengths at this track, and she brings enough upside to be competitive if she handles 1400m at her second race start.

Was close enough to be a factor last start but dropped out to finish tenth at this track, beaten over 14 lengths by Joy D'Or, with no obvious excuse. That has to be weighed against his debut win here, when he led and beat Microphone by two and a half lengths as an odds-on favourite. The winning rider returns and his best form is at this venue, so a rebound would put him in the minor-money mix.

Resumes after three months off following a debut win at this track, when he led throughout and held on by a head over 820m as a well-supported favourite. That showed good natural pace and race sense, while the stable profile is another positive. The untried 1400m is the main query, but he has already shown enough to be a genuine place chance if he runs it out.

Finished eighth at this track last start, beaten over 13 lengths by Joy D'Or after settling rearward and making no late impact at long odds. His previous run was much better, winning by five lengths over 1230m at this venue, but he is unplaced in three starts around this track and distance. The class drop helps, though he has to reproduce his peak to threaten these.

Was unwanted in the market first-up and finished seventh at this track, beaten just over eight lengths by Joy D'Or after settling rearward. He had earlier posted a dominant ten-length win at this venue, so there is ability in the profile, and he has won at around this distance. Even so, the latest run leaves him with plenty to repair against sharper rivals.

Has been admirably consistent, finishing second at this track last start when beaten just under two lengths by Bhadra after travelling handy and sticking on well. She was also second the run prior, beaten just over a length by Tanomude Tsuyoshi, and her overall record reads two wins and two placings from four starts. Proven at this track and distance, she brings the right blend of reliability and race fitness.

Resumes after three months away following a sharp debut win at this track, where she led and opened up to beat Mo Mo Shine by two lengths over 820m. She was respected near the top of betting that day and did enough to suggest there is more to come. The first try around 1400m is the obvious test, but she returns with winning form and profiles as a realistic place hope.

Comes in unbeaten from two starts and was dominant at this track last time, beating Itoshino Fursa by seven lengths as a very short odds-on favourite. His debut win over 820m also had substance, and he has already proven himself at 1400m. Third-up, with Tomohiro Yoshimura staying aboard, he has the strongest winning platform in the race and looks very hard to beat.
