Sonoda Race 3 - Race 3 - 1400
ITOSHINO FURSA (2) Tidy effort when 3rd last run here and gets a favourable gate. Looking sharp on the track since coming back from a break and showing consistent performance in races. Suited. SMILE TOKEN (6) Finished 4th last time at the track. Can make a comeback. Has shown early pace in races to date. Will be there at the finish. DINO ENJU (5) Competitive effort when 3rd last time here and having second career run. Jockey Tomohiro Yoshimura is a bonus. Might have to make up considerable ground. Worth an each way investment. TIME LIMIT (8) Tidy run when 2nd last start here and was on debut last time. Place hope.

Finished seventh at this track last start on good ground, beaten just over eight lengths by Bhadra after being handy enough but unable to finish off. The run prior was also plain, with a fifth over 1230m when sent out short odds-on favourite and beaten over 10 lengths by Nippon Seira. She has placed once from four at this track and distance, but the recent form says she must lift sharply.

Has built a consistent place profile, finishing third at this track last start when beaten just under six lengths by Hiro Shige Wonder after working home past tired runners. Two weeks earlier she was second to Copano Jamaica, beaten seven lengths after not quickening when poised to strike. Three placings from three at this track and distance keeps her firmly in the frame, though the win has not arrived yet.

Finished fourth at this track last start but was still beaten over 15 lengths by Hiro Shige Wonder, which leaves a fair gap to close despite being near the top of an open market. The start prior was weaker again, finishing fifth and beaten a long way by Bhadra at big odds. Weight relief gives her some assistance, but her recent margins make this a demanding assignment.

Improved from a debut fifth to finish fourth at this track last start, beaten nine lengths by Cherry Squall in a 12-runner field after being near the top of an open market. His debut fifth behind Maru Thunder was also sound enough for a lightly raced colt. Third-up now and able to race handy, he still has to bridge a margin but looks a genuine minor-money chance.

Made a solid debut when third at this track over 1400m, beaten ten lengths by Mami Yuga after starting near the top of an open market and working home evenly. She was behind Time Limit there, so that rival remains the benchmark, but this filly has the same track-and-distance experience and gets a leading rider back aboard. With natural second-up improvement, she is a strong winning hope.

Led over 1230m at this track last start before finishing fourth, beaten over 11 lengths by Kojun Niko Shin, so the margin was a concern. Her previous fourth behind Rock On D'Oro was much better, beaten just over a length after again rolling forward at outside odds. The move to 1400m is new, and she looks more a rough each-way chance than a key winning player.

Finished fifth at this track last start over 1230m, beaten over 14 lengths by Kojun Niko Shin after working home fairly but never threatening at long odds. The start prior had more merit when fourth, beaten four and a half lengths by Angelus Ring, though he was still big odds there. One previous try around 1400m brought no placing, so he has plenty to find.

Debuted with a sound second at this track, beaten seven lengths by Mami Yuga after starting at generous odds and battling into the minor money. That run already has merit because she finished ahead of Dino Enju, who is a key rival again, and she has placed at both this track and distance at her only appearance. With the benefit of race experience, she makes a strong case as the one to beat.
