Sonoda Race 2 - Race 2 - 1400
SUN CA VA CA VA (2) Average effort when 4th last run around here. Expected to rebound and having second race start. Displays good tactical speed. Going up in distance. Has a good draw. In the mix. KATSU YOZAN (5) Sub-standard effort when 9th last start here. Can win this. JUNK TELE BOY (1) Disappointing effort when 12th last time around here but gets the perfect draw. Likely to get back in the field. One of the hopes. KISEKINO ICHIMAI (3) Unsatisfactory performance when 10th last time around here. Wataru Hirose and Masamichi Kashihara are usually competitive when they team up. Might be ridden for luck. Keep in mind.

Finished last at this track three weeks ago, well beaten by 21 lengths behind Cherry Squall after conceding a huge start and never getting into the race. The run prior was no better, with a tenth placing and a 20-length margin behind Nippon Seira when unwanted in the market. Unplaced in all four starts overall and at this venue, he has to show far more before being entertained.

Made her debut over 820m at this track and finished fourth of five, officially a distant last, though she did make up some ground in the run home after settling rearward. She is second-up now and carries only 52kg, but this is her first try around 1400m. With just one run behind her, improvement is possible, yet she profiles as a minor hope rather than a leading winning chance.

Was tenth at this track last start, beaten over 16 lengths by Cherry Squall after giving away a big start and never threatening at long odds. Her previous run was even weaker, finishing last in a six-runner race and never competitive. She remains unplaced from four starts and has missed a place in two tries at the distance, so a major form turnaround is required.

Comes to his third run this campaign after finishing seventh at this track over 1230m, beaten over 20 lengths by Kojun Niko Shin when conceding a huge start. Two back he was eighth over 820m and faded late after racing well back. The rise to around 1400m is new ground, but with race fitness on side he still holds a place profile in a thin contest.

Was beaten a long way behind Kojun Niko Shin at this track last start after giving away a big start and never getting into the picture. The better reference is his third two runs ago, when beaten four lengths by Princess Road over 1230m. He has placed once from four starts and is untried around 1400m, so his chance rests on recapturing that sharper earlier effort.

Finished fifth in a small field at this track two weeks ago, beaten over 17 lengths by Hiro Shige Wonder after having a few ahead of him on the turn and offering only a moderate final effort. He had also run fifth behind Copano Jamaica the start prior. The margins are not flattering, but he is race fit and rated among the better chances in a field where few arrive in convincing form.

Reaches her third run this campaign after an eighth at this track, beaten over 14 lengths by Cherry Squall when she had the job ahead and could not make ground. Her debut over 820m was also plain, but she was only beaten just over eight lengths there and remains lightly raced. Already tested around this distance, she gets the chance to lift through race experience and rates the one to beat.
